    Hi Felix5F8B,

     

    Sorry for your issue. Did you try ali_jaber's suggestion? Did it help? If not, please share the following details:

    • Is it happening with a particular file or any file that you import?
    • What if you create a Solid layer? Do you see the preview?
    • What are your system specifications (CPU, GPU, RAM)?

    We're here to help, just need more info.

     

    Thanks,

    Nishu

    After effects didn't recognize the video, check if it's not corrupted, or maybe the codec is not supported. If you can, try to convert that movie into prores using a video conversion software and reimport it again into AE

    Let me move this to the After Effects forum for you, which is the appropriate forum for your question.
