  • CC 2015 Comp Viewer goes black when using Hand Tool

    Posted by Dustin Bowser on June 17, 2015 at 7:01 pm

    Loving the new update, but something I’m noticing I’m my machine at least already is that when I’m zoomed up in a Comp Viewer, and then use Middle Mouse (or spacebar) to drag around with the Hand Tool, the viewer goes black and doesn’t come back.

    The only way I can bring it back to zoom in and out and pan around and wake it back up.

    Anyone else noticing this?

    It’s proving to slow me down quite a bit though, because rather than being able to pan around a comp viewer, I have to zoom it to get back where I want to be, which causes it to have to re-cache. Which takes a few seconds on this 6K Red comp…

    I don’t think I’ve seen this issue yet.
    File a bug report [link] There is a bug-fix update scheduled for July and they are fixing a number of preview issues. This issue sounds like it should be one of them.

    (Unless somebody else comes along with a simple answer.)

    Does it do it while the preview is running? If you haven’t tried that yet, give it a go.

    Yeah I sent in a bug report first. Just posted here in case anyone else is having the issue. Obviously the Update is fresh out the oven.

    I went back and forth with chat support and he had me do an uninstall and fresh re-install and that seems to have fixed the issue for now. I’ve only been testing for about 15 minutes. In case anyone else experiences this.

    Unfortunately I spoke to soon.

    The behavior has returned. Must be a bug.
