It’s Getting On My Nerves

Well, it should be open until you close it.
Try to reinstall the program, remove it from you machine, then go to C:/Programfiles/Adobe and delete the After Effects folder, reboot you machine and reinstall the program.

I should work.

Before you go this far, just try deleting After Effects’ preferences file, usually found here if you’re on a PC:

C:\Documents and Settings\USER NAME\Application Data\Adobe\After Effects\Prefs

If you’re on a Mac, it should be in somewhere in Library/Application Support/Adobe

Whenever something wonky happens with After Effects, that’s the first place I look. If you make regular backups of your prefs, then you won’t lose anything if they get corrupted.

The default is for the render details to close after half and hour or so. If you want it to stay open permanently you can option click to twirl it open.

Hi Pete …

… thanx a lot. Great advice. It works.

But please tell me … where do you get those infos? I searched the help files and the official AE book. I couldn’t find both the place where to change the default and your hint.

Regards.
