When that happens on my computer, it's usually something to do with the graphics card.  If you shutdown your computer and restart, does the problem resolve itself?

Hi Dezmen30197470awv6,

 

Welcome to the community and sorry for your issue. 

Does it happen with all the projects? Can you try importing this project into a new one? What's the version of After Effects you're using? If it's the latest, can you try running After Effects in Safe Mode (go to After Effects Preferences > Startup & Repair)?

Let us know how it goes.

 

Thanks,

Nishu
