After Effects preview goes black when applying effect.

[aviora]

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!

what effect you're using and is this happen to a specific layers or layers also is this happen on all effects or some specific effect? you should give more information.

All effects. When I apply an effect, the preview goes black until the next layer that has no effect.

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.

also check if there are any driver update for your GPU

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
