Question

Weird glitch when trying to preview

Hi,

 

I was making something in After Effects when I stumbled upon an issue that disallows me from playing my footage back. I press the space bar on my keyboard to play the preview, but instead the playhead backs up about a frame and my tool switches to the hand tool from the selection tool until I let go of the space bar.

 

I will give more information if needed.

 

Thanks, Jake 🙂

A possible cause is a non-English keyboard layout may have been activated inadvertently. Double-check is this is the case. How about the other Preview Shortcuts? Do they work as expected?

Would you reassign the shortcut from Edit menu > Keyboard Shortcuts or choose Window menu > Assign shortcut to Default?
