When dragging, white box appears and is dragged instead of the object
When I drag an object in after effects, A white box appears and is dragged instead of the object. when I release the mouse button, the object jumps to where I dragged it. Also, when I scrub through the timeline, the video on the comp viewer does not refresh untill I release the mouse button. If anyone knows of a way to entirely reset all of the settings in after effects or fix this problem.
thanks in advance.
If you need to cantact me,

This is a master button on the top of the timeline that is not set properly…I am not in front of AE at the moment, but try them all….I believe it is the one on the left that looks like two sqaures, one with an X, but again am not in front of AE.

thank you So much for the answer!!
I tried all of the ones I could find, but nothing changed it.
Is it possibly that multiple settings got changed, and I need to fix both of them?
Thanks again for the help! -
IT could be under the OpenGL pulldown at the bottom of the composite window, or in the preview tab of the preferences…for me though, that button usually fixes the problem you are describing.

I tried both of these… I couldn’t find anything that worked.
When this happens to you, were you able to scrub through the timeline?
Also, when I rotate a object, it doesn’t change until I let go of the mouse button, then just jumps there.
Thanks again! -
Hey, on one of your layers you have a mask selected. The white box appears when you have a mask selected and the selection tool is selected. It’s allowing you to select specific points on the mask. Select any layer and it’ll go back to normal.
Sorry, ignore that, I didn’t read your entire post to begin with

I found it! It was that box that you told me about earlier, I just found it! I thought you were talking about a different icon that i found.
Thank you so much! -
Glad it worked for you…
