Composition window doesn't display anything

Hello, I'm having troubles in Adobe After Effects 2022 with the Composition Window.

When I create a new composition in a new project or try to open any project, the Composition Window doesn't display anything. So I can't see any element at all in the screen.

I've tried installing older After Effects versions, and fitting the zoom to 100%.

This works well in other laptop I have, so I guess is something related to the settings or RAM.

 

 

Hope you can help me.

Thanks in advance!

Finally I could solve this issue!!

It seems that Intel drivers weren't installed correctly yesterday. Today I noticed that there was an update available, so I re-installed it. And now it works well.

 

Thanks very much to everyone for your help.

    Hi Vanesa,

     

    Sorry for the trouble.

    I had a similar issue with the current release of After Effects and updating the Intel GPU driver fixed it for me.

    Let us know if it helps.

     

    Thanks,

    Nishu

      Thanks Nishu!

      Yesterday I tried also updating the Intel GPU driver, but still doesn't work 😞

      Try to deactivate hardware acceleration for composition panel.  Enter into After Effects Preferences (Under Edit menu) and choose Display > Deactivate Hardware Accelerate Composition, Layer and Footage panels option. Then go to Edit > Purge > All memory and disk cache.

       

      Other things you can try:

       

      - If you are using a dual monitor setup, try to move the composition panel to the other monitor

      - Deactivate hardware acceleration for video processing and render under File > Project Settings

        Check your hardware acceleration settings and graphics driver. This behavior typically indicates an issue there.
