Question

Preview glitched and pixelated

I've had this issue for a while, my preview goes from normal to this for seemingly no reason.  To be clear, it doesn't always look like this, but anytime I try to interact with the window, i.e. drawing masks it looks like this.  I have cleaned my cache, and just updated my graphics drivers.

Hi Bradford25267253zx97,

 

Sorry for your issue.

Looks like it's related to the GPU. What are your system specifications (CPU, GPU, RAM, OS version)? If you're using an Intel CPU, chances are it has a GPU inbuilt. So, you need to update the Intel GPU driver as well. Here's how you can check the version of the GPU driver that's installed: https://support.viewsonic.com/en/support/solutions/articles/33000221571-how-to-check-graphics-card-drivers-in-windows-

Hope it helps.

 

Thanks,

Nishu

This is my graphics card, I recently updated the drivers.  I have tried restarting the computer but it's still an issue.

Try this:

 

- Go back to a previous version of the graphics card's driver

- Go to File > Project Settings and under the Video Rendering and Effects tab select Mercur Software Only.

- Go to After Effects Preferences > Import. Deactivate Hardware decoding acceleration.

 

Also, be sure to purge all the disk cache (Edit > Purge > All Memory and Disk Cache) and restart After Effects.
