Activity Forums Adobe After Effects Zoom Timeline Bug?

  • Zoom Timeline Bug?

    Posted by Monica Nolan on June 12, 2006 at 5:40 pm

    Recently my version of After Effects 5.5 began quitting unexpectedly and frequently. It seems to be triggered when I attempt to zoom in or out of the timeline, either using the mouse or keyboard commands. Anyone experience this or know how to fix it? Thanks.

    Do you have audio on the timeline? If you do set it to low quality using the layer switches. You will then need to update either AE or QuickTime. Let us know what versions of AE and QuickTIme you’re running and on which platform.

    I’m using After Effects 5.5 on OSX and Quicktime 6.5.

    I isolated it to the audio layer after I posted, and finally figured that If I didn’t have the waveform showing, zooming the timeline would work fine. Setting the audio to low quality lets me zoom and look at the waveform (for at least a quick test), thanks!

    Not sure what you meant by needing to update AE and quicktime after making the switches change…

    Your audio issues sounded very similar to issues that users used to have. That gave me the impression that you were not using more recent versions of AE and QT. You can try upgrading AE to 5.5.1.
