Hi MahaB82A,

Thanks for writing in.

What happens when you Solo this layer? Do you see any shape in the Composition?

Please make sure there is some content on the Shape layer.

Let us know if that helps.

Thanks,

Nishu

Are you absolutely sure there is a shape on that layer?  The > disappears when there are no paths.  

As Nishu suggests, if you solo the layer does anything show up?

[MahaB82A]

There are 4 layers one over other. This is a tutorial. I have messed up everything. Screen shot is attached.  

[ShiveringCactus]

What happens if you turn off the visibility of all the other layers?

[MahaB82A]

Here is result

[ShiveringCactus]

Ah, you've also turned off the Sun's layer too, but I think it's likely that at some point , you've accidentally deleted the shape that was on that layer.  Try importing the original project into this one and see if you can copy the shape layer from the original into your modified one.

[MahaB82A]

Here is the one. Sun layer is missing I assume this is the reason for the problem.

[ShiveringCactus]

I think so.  Is the sun complex?  If it's just a circle, you could draw it back on?

[MahaB82A]

I do not know whether sun is complex or not because my knowledge of Ae is limited . Here is a screen shot from previous file I tried.

[ShiveringCactus]

That's not too complex of a shape, I've put this together for you:

Thanks.

This each layers are top of each other. What is the purpose of moving the cloud layer and placing it below the night layer. In this tutorial this is happening many times with different layers. I cannot findout the reason yet.

[ShiveringCactus]

I can't spot a reason to move that layer, as it is not obscured by the night layer.  If it's position was in the same space as the night layer it would be hidden.  You say this is a tutorial, I take it you can't contact the creator to ask them?

[MahaB82A]

I am waiting for the reply from creator.
