Is there a way to repair this? Everytime I try to add an effect onto a layer, the preview goes black until the next layer comes. Help!

Hi aviora,

Sorry for your issue.

Would you mind checking if it happens only with the GPU accelerated effects?

Also, you can try this: Go to After Effects Preferences > Display > uncheck "Hardware Accelerated Composition, Layer, and Footage Panels" and see if it brings any change.

Let us know.

Thanks,

Nishu

Could you tell us what is your computer configuration?

Anyway try to deactivate GPU acceleration to test if it works. Go to File > Project Settings. Under the Video Rendering and effects tab select Mercury Software Only.
