Direct 2D Drawbot Error when moving Composition Window

Explorer ,
Dec 08, 2025 Dec 08, 2025

Recently I've been getting a very frustrating error in AE, anytime I move or resize the Composition window I get the following error "Direct 2D Drawbot Error. HRESULT: -2003238911"

 

This only happens when I resize or move windows affecting the composition window. This happens even when nothing is open in the window, even on a brand new project. I can move other window panels around so long as it doesn't affect the composition window. 

 

I'm using AE 25.6.0 and have tried rolling back through every version of AE 25 and still have the issue.

My system specs are

Windows 11

Intel i9-13900k
Nvidia Geforce RTX 4070 Super
96gb RAM

I've attached a screen recording of the issue.

 

Thanks

I should add that AE 24.6.8 does not give me this issue

Thanks Kevin, I've checked that thread out before but wasn't able to find a solution that worked for me. Sounds like it's known issue so hopefully it get's patched soon.

Hi J_A_Willi327,

 

You should not see this error in the 25.X version of After Effects. Could you let me know the exact version of After Effects you're using? Please try installing the latest Studio driver from the Nvidia website.


Thanks,
Nishu
