New After Effects 24.5 presets not Working

[bulgarian emp24935947dv94]

Hello, there.

I recently updated my version of AE to the most recent 24.5 version, because I was excited to test out the new 3d updates, such as 3d fog and embedded 3d animations. However, once I updated AE none of the new effects seemed to be working. I am able to apply the effects but they do not work properly. Same goes with importing 3d files with animations. An ''Animations'' bar shows below the composing options bar on the 3d layer , but the small  animation  box does not appear.

I just tested both the features on my end. They seem to be working fine for me. Do you get any error messages? What are your system specifications (CPU, GPU, RAM, OS version)? Please share a screen recording that shows the problem to help us understand it better.

Looking forward to your response. Moving this thread from Bugs to Discussions for troubleshooting.

Thanks,
Nishu

Hi @bulgarian emp24935947dv94 , 

Do you have Expand Layer Switches enabled? Notice the little blue icon on the lower left-hand corner of the app.

You won't see the animation dropdown if the Layer Switches view is collapsed.
