Undo doesn't affect preview

Adobe After Effects 2015.0.1 - ver. 13.5.1.48, so it's up to date.


Issue is as it follows:

While making anything in a composition -w hen I hit crtl+z (or choose undo from menu-edit) it does work - technically - but there is some preview problem. For example:

I make a solid square, then i move it to right, and again, and again. So we have 4 steps (create, move, move, move). So let's say I'm on the last step and the square is on the right. Then i hit undo. What I get is... the layer is still in the same position, but bounding box actually goes back to the step 3 (correct reaction!).

So while undoing, the visual material stays at it's place, and a bounding box moves as it should.

Please, help as soon as possible.

    I'm also having this problem. Nothing fixes it except re-opening the project. Has any progress been made to correct this? It's made After Effects also unusable.

    There are some fixes in this area in the update scheduled for release at the end of this month.

      I downloaded the most recent update, and the problem persists. I can't undo any action, and see the changes in preview. This is kind of a serious issue, it makes it extremely hard to work.

      I am having the same issue. Undo is technically working in the composition, but not updating in the preview.

      The only way I can get what ever I undid to update in the preview is to the apply whatever I changed directly to the layer... or just restart. For example: if I move an object from position A to position B then hit undo, the object still shows it is at position B in the preview, even though the position properties in the timeline show it is at position A. I can only fix this by manually re-entering position A into the position properties even though it already says it is in position A.

      This really bogs down the speed of the work flow, so whoever solves this problem gets supreme master of the universe status!

      What happens if you zoom in and out real quick? Like, change the resolution AND magnification of your comp panel?

      thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately wasn't the solution.

      Does it stay there if you wait like a minute? Or does it update after some time? Because that is what happens with me. The refresh of the composition panel is really really really slow... It looks like a cache problem. Just wondering.

        It stays the same untill I relaunch Ae. After that i got proper preview as it should look like.

        Does it stay there in the wrong spot even if other changes to it are made?
