Hi,

I opened after effects after not using it for a few weeks and my screen seems to be in full screen but some of it is off the screen.

I am using a Macbook and can't find a keyboard shortcut to allow me to come out of the full screen.

Any help would be appreciated..

Thanks Rebecca

I read this in the AE forum with the same problem and an Adobe Employee posted this:

Also, I found this:

1) Close After Effects.

2) Set your screen at resolution you want.

3) Shft + Alt + Cmd immediately when you click in application icon to run it, clic OK.

With this action you clear the preferences and when AE opens it's gonna be ok in fullscreen.

Hope this helps.

Hello, I also got this problem, but it just suddenly happened when I was editing something, and I tried using Ctrl+Alt+Shift, and I also tried Ctrl+/, yet none worked.

Can I get any help on this?
