Eyedropper not working after the update

So I recently updated AfterEffects to CC 21 and since then the eye dropper tool is acting weird. I have attached a video, you can see it wont pick any color within the composition but it works perfectly fine outside the composition window. Is it a bug or am I doing sth wrong?

 

Thanks

Looks like it's not working in the preview port, i could be a GPU problem so be sure to upgrade your GPU driver to the latest vesion

Hi byGrais5EBC,

 

Sorry for your issue.

What's the exact version of After Effects you're using. Also, what are your system specifications (CPU, GPU, RAM, OS)? Go to Edit > Preferences > Display and uncheck "Hardware Accelerated Composition, Layer, and Footage Panels".

Let us know if it helps.

 

Thanks,

Nishu

Hey Nishu, THANKS A TONN!! That worked!

I think the issue is with my video driver, casue everytime I open AfterEffects it will show an error window saying "Unsupported Video Driver". I've tried updating all my drives but that error still pops up. I need to update my system.

Btw my laptop has Intel i5, nvidia GeForce GTX 1060, 16gb RAM,windows
