Hi

A strange and bizarre issue. Text tool doesn't show any text after i type!!! Nothing.

I can see the text layer and my alphabets in the layers on the timeline.

Never encountered this problem before.

Suddenly started over the last few days. I am running the latest updated After Effects.

Please help!! I have to create still images in Photoshop and bring them in!

MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2017) MacOs HIgh Sierra 10.13.4 (17E202)

2.9 GHz Intel Core i7

16 GB 2133 MHz LPDDR3

Radeon Pro 560 4096 MB

Intel HD Graphics 630 1536 MB

    Ok thanks!

    Meanwhile I opened an older project and imported it in, seems to work.

    Let me try resetting on the layer. Hopefully it solves it.

    Reset didn't work, I can see the text and it is definately text but I cant edit it. AE 2022. This is a basic requirement, there are some poor issues with AE and they're becoming more common. 😞

      In the text layer's Character Panel, do a reset.  There are probably some very strange values in it.
