Comp window has gone bright blue?
Ok I posted something similar to this last week but literally 5 minutes after I posted it I somehow accidentally fixed it. Never found out what happened though and it’s a bit different.
Pretty new to AE, so I don’t know how I keep doing this. I was clicking around in the Libraries panel trying to pick a color for an effect, and suddenly my entire comp window goes blue. My ENTIRE animation is now just a bright blue rectangle. Ctrl+z doesn’t help, so I assume it’s because I’ve activated a mode or mask or something by accident? I’m using AE CC 2015 on a Mac.
Someone asked for a screen shot last time. Here it is:
Any help would be awesome!

Hmmmm. I haven’t bought any templates. The only things in my project are Illustrator objects I drew and then pulled into AE to animate. And like last time, I poked around in my project files for a while and it eventually just popped back to normal. Both times I was doing nothing more than moving a keyframe or just moving a layer around a little bit. I wish I could figure out what was happening so I could stop doing that, grrrrr. Thanks anyway!

To me it looks like you have double-clicked a comp named “Ally” which has opened it, and you are one frame before there is anything in the precomp, so you can see just the background color of that comp, which is blue.

This just happened to me. I’ve been using AE everyday for five years. It’s a bug. Don’t know you’re specific situation… but that exact blue screen just happened to me. Could be video card. Could be cpu. Could be software. Who knows? You would need to spend more time then you have to figure it out.
In my situation, AE CC2014, Mac Pro Late 2013, changing a setting within VC Optical Flares Options Interface resulted in a blue screen like yours. I just restarted AE and was good to go.
Not sure if you did anything wrong within your comp… but if it happened to me with a four layer comp, then it can happen to anybody.
