I saw many threads about the same problem, tried everything recommended but nothing worked for me. I was wondering if there is any more recent fix to this problem. TIA

Hi Tosic221200364mtt,

 

Sorry for your issue.

As the experts suggested, please share the following details:

  • What's the exact version of After Effects you're using?
  • What are your system specifications (CPU, GPU, RAM, OS version)?
  • A screenshot that shows the problem.

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

 

Thanks,

Nishu

Thanks for your answer. 
The After Effects version is the latest, updated few days ago

OS Windows 10 PRO version 20H2

Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4770 CPU, 3.4GHZ

Nvidia GeForce GT 640

16.0 GB RAM

 Enabled 500GB disc cache on a separate hard drive 

The composition size doesn't matter because it happens with new projects with only few elemnts inside.

Have you already tried to update the graphic driver to the latest?

Tal vez es buena idea subir screenshots o capturas de video de toda tu pantalla para tener un mejor panorama dentro de tu entorno de trabajo.

Are you on MAc or Windows ?

does resetting AE preferences fix the issue ?

what is the size of composition ? type of video format you are using ?
