Hi Kevin, I got around the problem by moving all my layers individually out of the comp into a new comp. Mustve been a bug.

I think I've lost a couple hours of work... At the very end of my project I noticed the first 10 seconds had turned into a blank white screen. I then checked the memory of my C drive and found that it was nearly full. I cleared up space, restarted after effects but the first 10s is still a white screen only with the sound. I'm super frustrated because I was doing an affect where I painted on every frame... Anyone know how to recover my project? All the auto-saves show the same issue..

You can open the images in Photoshop and take out the white background there by clicking double clicking on the layer -> blending modes, and play around with the sliders at the bottom, it's a super fast way to do this. but you may have to do it with every frame.. A gif is a sequence of images, and if those images are imported at JPGs then they definitely won't have a transparent background. PNGs do transparency, JPGs don't. Not sure if that's helpful in your case but something good to know.

I am painting over lines in my video in After Effects and for some reason halfway through my project I realized that I suddenly lost the ability to undo brush strokes when I made mistake. I pressed Ctrl-Z and the brush stroke didn't delete! I keep pressing undo (the menu says Edit-> "Undo Stroke") but nothing happens. When I open the effect in the timeline on my layer, I can see the brush strokes deleting layer by later when I Undo, but nothing changes on the screen until I hit the last layer when the menu says "Edit -> Undo Apply Paint Effect" and once I do that, every stroke deletes all at once. It's super frustrating that it was working and suddenly stopped. Hoping someone has an answer for this!
