Hi malak.samirrr,

 

Sorry to hear that. Could you share your system specifications (CPU, GPU, RAM, OS) and the exact version of After Effects you're using: https://community.adobe.com/t5/after-effects/faq-how-to-find-the-exact-version-of-after-effects-you-re-using/td-p/9972137?page=1

Also, are you using any third-party plug-in for After Effects? If so, what happens when you remove them? Does it help?

Let us know.

 

Thanks,

Nishu

Hi shimaa taha,

Sorry for your issue!

Try this:
Go to File > Project Settings > Video Rendering and Effects > Use Mercury Software Only.

Let us know if that helps.

Hey paulw,

Try updating the graphics driver on your computer and see if that works.
