    Hi Bhakta, adding to Ufuk's suggestion, could you check the bottom-left of your Timeline panel? There are a few small toggle buttons that show/hide columns. Try enabling all of them and see if the value fields come back.

    If that doesn't help, Ufuk's other suggestions are worth trying too:
    - Test in a brand new project.
    - Toggle off Preferences > Appearance > "Hardware Accelerate Composition, Layer, and Footage Panels" and restart AE.

    Let us know what you find.

    Looking at your screenshots, I don’t think this is just a hidden column or a collapsed timeline. The property names are still there, but the value fields themselves seem to be missing, which isn’t normal.

    Did this start happening after an After Effects update, or did it appear out of nowhere? Also, have you tried creating a completely new project to see if the same thing happens there? If it does, I’d start looking at preferences or GPU/UI rendering rather than the project itself.
