Question

Adding or adjust effect opens random comp

Since the latest After Effects update, when I try to add/adjust a layer's effect, it opens a random comp.

 

Here's an example - I'm trying to add CC Toner to an icon. Every time I try, it opens a different comp.

 

Is this a known issue?

 

Newest version of AE, Win 11, AMD 5950x 128GB RAM RTX3080

    Thanks for the reply Nishu.

     

    I've done what you suggested. When I create a new project from scratch, the problem persists. However, when I create a new project in Safe Mode and disable 3rd party plugins, the problem goes away.

     

    So it looks like I will have to uninstall plugins until the offending one goes...

      Glad to hear that you found the cause. Were you able to identify the plug-in?

      Do let us know.

      Hi Nishu,

       

      As I rely on After Effects for my work, I can't start uninstalling plugins during projects so for the time being I'll need to put up with the issue and then do some investigating between jobs.

       

      Many thanks,

      Hi arewenotmen,

       

      Thanks for sharing the screen recording.

      Do you see this behavior in all the projects? Can you create a new project and test? If the issue still happens, try running After Effects in Safe Mode and see if it brings any change.

      Let us know.

      Thanks,

      Nishu
