You are looking at the footage panel and the CTI (current time indicator) is positioned before the layer even starts. There is nothing wrong with AE. The only problem is that you have not spent enough time learning what the UI is or how to use it. Spend some time in the Learn Workspace and check out the User Guide.

Double-checking the layer takes you to the Layer's panel. If you don't the see preview, click anywhere in the timeline (in Layer's panel).

Hope it helps.


Thanks,
