Text disappears in 16bpc?!
Been a few years since I posted on the Cow! Anyway I’m back with a really weird bug, hopefully someone here has figured out a workaround. I am using the font 8514oem in a project and whenever I switch from 8bpc to 16bpc all of the characters in the text layer disappear except the last one. It’s the weirdest thing! They’re there, they just don’t render. I have NO idea why that would happen…
I’m on AE CS6 (latest updates), running in Windows 7.

How’s this for more weirdness – when I add a text animator and set the character opacity to 99% it renders just fine! Wtf…

Try purging the cache: Edit > Purge > All Image & Disk Caches
What exact version number of After Effects?

In your first message, you said that you had all of the latest updates, but you just gave the version number for the not-at-all updated CS6 version.
Install the most recent CS6 update. The updates have a lot of fixes for caching bugs.

Hey Tod! Sweet, the man himself! I didn’t realize you were still on the forums and whatnot, it’s been a few years for me.
Good point, I didn’t realize I was a few versions off. I guess when I did my last update it wasn’t to this station or something… I’ll give it a shot!

I was pretty hopeful on that one, but still didn’t fix it… I don’t think it is a cache error.

Could you share a stripped-down project file demonstrating the issue?

It only happens with the one font? I don’t have that installed on my MacBook. If I have time (and if I have that font on my PC), I’ll check later.

Yep, random right? Been using AE for years and I’ve never seen this.
The font is kind of a random one. I also noticed that it some how doesn’t anti-alias. Luckily that’s fine because it is a blocky, digital font and looks fine pixilated, but I have no idea how a font can tell AE to not anti-alias itself!
Very weird.
