  • Working with mouse and keyboard in After Effects gives weird problem.

    Posted by Finn Nielsen on November 2, 2017 at 2:24 pm

    I have a really weird problem.
    When I work in Adobe After Effects and drag an image into My placeholder, I can drag the image with the mouse, but if I use the keyboard, I can no longer use the mouse. If I then press the screen outside After Effects and press a key on the keyboard, I can go back to After Effects and use the mouse, until I use the keyboard again.
    Is there someone who knows about this problem and knows how to solve it?

    Hey again.

    I am using, CC2018 so that must be the reason, but i have tried to install the 2017 version again but that did not helæp out the problem. The problem first started when i upgraded to 2018.

    Regards Finn

    What hardware are you using? Is your mouse and keyboard plugged directly into your computer or do the go through another device like a USB hub? If they do try plugging in directly and rebooting.

    I have now solved my problem. It turned out to be windows that was the problem. After an update of windows, everything seems to be working.

    I thank you for your help!
