Spacebar not responding

Some times spacebar does not respond therefore I opt for Numpad 0. What is the reason spacebar becomes not reliable?

    Hi there, thanks for reaching out! When Spacebar stops responding, does clicking the Composition or Timeline panel and pressing it again help? Does Numpad 0 still start the preview every time?

    Could you share your AE, OS versions and your system specs? Also, try testing in Safe Mode with third-party plug-ins disabled and let us know if Spacebar still stops working.


    Thanks,
    Nishu
