Comp backgrounds invisible in 24.5

[PiscesArtist]

1. Created New Comp

2. In comp settings I selected black as a background color

3. When placed in timeline, there is NO BACKGROUND, just the transparency grid. This makes it impossible to see what is going on when I go into 3D mode. The only thing visible in 3D mode is the transparency grid.

4. Elements in the comp float over the transparency grid, so as usual, I created a solid for the BG layer.

5. Took that comp into 3D in both Classic and C4D and no background appears, even with the solid layer in the comp. Only thing visible is the transparency grid.

5. I'm using Mac OS 14.6

Hi @PiscesArtist, 

If you navigate to the bottom of the Comp Window, you're looking for the Toggle Transparency Button. It looks like a checkerboard. 

This gives you the ability to see the Comp Background in the color you choose in the Comp settings or the transparency grid. 

Alternatively, If you want to "see" the solid in 3D space, then you need to enable it as a 3D layer. 

Hope this helps get you back on track,
