Layers above keyframes now only show single thumbnail in center instead of full length of scene

It’s impossible to tell at a glance which layers in a scene have a fade animation effect, making it beyond frustrating to try to control my animation. It used to be you could see in the layer strip where the image faded to transparent, but now, the layer strip only shows a tiny square and there’s nothing to indicate whether it has an animation attached to it. I noticed this on the iOS app and hoped my desktop version would be different. After updating my iPad version, the problem got even worse: the layer strips don’t appear at all, so now the app is completely unusable. 

Could you restore the layer visibility to show the fade animation again, please?

    Hi ​@MOWADesign17237830, thanks for sharing this. 

    As of now, this is how it shows up for me on desktop web and a similar view on iPad- (desktop screenshot)

     

    Let us know if you see something different than this. 

     

    Also, to help us investigate this further, please share a screen recording of what you see in both the iOS app and the desktop version. Also include your device model, OS version, and the version of the Adobe Express app you have installed.

    We’ll then be able to take a closer look at the behavior and let you know. 

     

    Best!
