After Effects doesn't show my Image in the preview window

Hello guys,

first of all I'm sorry if my english isn't perfect.

 

I just started using AE and tryed following a tutorial to track a title to my video.

All worked fine until I applied my tracking data to my null object, suddenly the preview window

stopped showing my Image. I searched here for solutions but didn't find anything, I closed AE and did it again, same problem after applying my tracking data. 

 

 

The image above shows the new window where I tracked everything. The image below shows my composition after applying the tracking data.

 

 

It seems that the programm still does what I want but I just can't see what I'm doing, AE just shows me the white outline of my image.

 

I hope you guys can help me out, I know AE is an awesome programm but it's realy frustrating with such problems that you just can't figure out.

 

Thanks in advance,

Broady

Okay I just found a solution, I right-clicked in the composition window and changed the preview settings from audio (didn't noticed when that changed?) to play actual preview (word to word translation from german to english) and however now its all working fine.

 

Thank you to all of you for your help 🙂

This could happen if your GPU driver goes wonky. Try updating or rolling back your GPU driver.

I updated my GPU driver once with my device manager and with the GeForce Experience application. I don't know how to roll it back, but I didn't mentioned earlier that I just bought this PC a few days ago, so there shouldn't realy be something to roll back too?

    Well, first of all, it looks like you are zoomed out to 12.5% view in the composition window. How's the view at 100%?

    Same issue at 100% or anything between.
