AE beta copy paste bug

Question

I can't seem to copy and paste things into after effects like text etc.  I can do the opposite copy from AE into another program but not vise versa. it's a really strange issue.

Hi @duanel87903666 and @ViniciusA_Silva,

The cause of this issue has been found and workaround has posted for the time being until a fix is made. In a nutshell:

If you launch AE by double clicking on an AE Project, or by right clicking on the Project file and open it with AE, pasting from the clipboard will be disabled.

For now, the workaround is stimply to launch AE FIRST and then proceed to open whichever AE project you want to work with. Paste will then work correctly.

More details can be found in this thread:
