Ecran de composition noir - After effect / Black composition screen - After effect -

[aDupuy]

Bonjour,

je rencontre un problème sous Adobe After effect. Quand je crée une composition avec un fond (rose par exemple), dans la prévisualisation il y a juste un fond noir qui prend l'enssemble de la taille de cette fenêtre. Je ne comprend pas, je n'ai rien fait et meme en installant et réinstallant rien ne change. Je n'ai pas la touche Majuscule enfoncé etc.

Je suis sous Windows 10 - Adobe After Effect CC 2020 1.7.1.1 (buil 34).

Je vous remercie d'avance pour votre aide ...

Hello,

I'm having a problem with Adobe After effect. When I create a composition with a background (pink for example), in the preview there is just a black background that takes the whole size of this window. I don't understand, I didn't do anything and even installing and reinstalling nothing changes. I don't have the Shift key pressed etc.

I am under Windows 10 - Adobe After Effect CC 2020 1.7.1.1 (buil 34).

Thank you in advance for your help ...

Hi David,

Welcome to the Community and sorry for your issue.

Is it happening in a particular project or of them? Please check if the Composition panel is still active. Also, what are your system specifications (CPU, GPU, RAM)?

In the meantime, try resetting the preferences of After Effects: https://community.adobe.com/t5/after-effects/faq-how-to-reset-trash-preferences-in-after-effects/td-...

Let us know how it goes.

Thanks,

Nishu

Hi, nishu_kush,
It doesn't matter what the project is, even when I have to create a brand new one. I've done the manipulation you suggested, but it still doesn't work.

Here's the information :

Thanks for sharing the details.

It could be related to GPU. Please try the this: Go to Edit > Preferences > Display > and uncheck Hardware Accelerated Composition, Layer, and Footage Panels.
Let us know the outcome.

Thanks,
Nishu

Bonjour, j'ai aujourd'hui le même problème, as-tu pu trouver une solution ?

Setting a background color does not generate pixels. You cannot rely on composition background color to give you a solid colored background. It will render as black with most delivery codecs (mp4).

The magnification ratio for the comp window should be set to fit. Try resetting your workspace. Try adding a comp-sized solid to the timeline.

Hello! Today I have the same problem, but I managed to solve the problem.

Indeed, go to File->Project setting->effects ans video rendering

Select Mercury GPU Accelerator, Then clik on ''Ok''

Hello, I just had the same problem and indeed it seems to be GPU related. I was still under After Effects 23.1 and decided to upgrade it to the most recent version (25.1). 
When I opened my project again the problem seemed to be still there, but after waiting a few seconds I got a charging popup telling approximately that the project is loading after "GPU change" or "pilots update". After that loading my composition appeared again!

So consider updating your After Effects version and why not updating your pilots/drivers.
