Activity Forums Adobe After Effects Text with 0% opacity still visible

  • Text with 0% opacity still visible

    Posted by Michael Denison on October 18, 2016 at 4:51 pm

    Ever since upgrading to After Effects Version 13.8.1.38, I’ve noticed a problem with text staying slightly visible several frames after I have either brought the opacity down to 0% or even several frames after the text layer has ended. It doesn’t happen when I turn off motion blur for the comp, but still happens whether or not the text layer has motion blur turned on. Besides turning of motion blur for the whole comp, the only other thing I notice is that it doesn’t show up when I have the fast preview option set to “Fast Draft”. Otherwise it shows up with “Adaptive Resolution” or “Off (Final Quality)”, as well as in my final render.

    Any ideas? I have also switched Macs recently and have the 2015 2.8GHz MacBook Pro with the AMD Radeon R9 M370X card.

    I’d upload a screenshot, but it has gone away for now after fidgeting with fast preview options and motion blur settings.

    Are you sure you don’t have another Opacity keyframe way down on the timeline? That’s what always trips me up ?

    I’m using OS 10.11.6

    I’ve learned my lesson in the past and am not upgrading to Sierra anytime soon.

    I’ve done that before too. It’s not the case here. It disappeared after toggling through the Fast Preview options, toggling Motion Blur on and off, and tabbing out to Safari to check on this post.
