Trying to Undo brush layers of the "Paint" effect - strokes not disappearing

[timcmonkey]

I am painting over lines in my video in After Effects and for some reason halfway through my project I realized that I suddenly lost the ability to undo brush strokes when I made mistake. I pressed Ctrl-Z and the brush stroke didn't delete! I keep pressing undo (the menu says Edit-> "Undo Stroke") but nothing happens. When I open the effect in the timeline on my layer, I can see the brush strokes deleting layer by later when I Undo, but nothing changes on the screen until I hit the last layer when the menu says "Edit -> Undo Apply Paint Effect" and once I do that, every stroke deletes all at once. It's super frustrating that it was working and suddenly stopped. Hoping someone has an answer for this!

Flush your caches to enforxce a correct screen update.

i emptied disk cache and then cleaned database and cache. Still having the same problem

Then perhaps it's some bug with some counter filling up...

What, exact, version number of AE are you using?

What format and codec is your footage?

Hi TimCMonkey,

Sorry to hear of your paint issue. Have you solved it yet? Please let us know if you still need help.

Hi Kevin,

I got around the problem by moving all my layers individually out of the comp into a new comp. Mustve been a bug.
