Hi Guys,
I have the weirdest problem:
When I select a shape laer in after effects it doesn't open in the preview window. It only happens with the shape layers, I restarted the program and my computer, used different AE versions and tried it with content in the layer and without.
Am i missing something obvious that maybe until now I had in the default settings that can influence this? has enyone ever had this issue?
By "preview window," I assume you mean the Layer viewer?
Shape layers don't actually have a "source," so there's really nothing to open. They're more closely related to a text layer (which you also can't view in the Layer viewer by double-clicking) than to a Solid, or image/video layer.
Perhaps the better question: what is it you feel like you're needing to accomplish in that view? (Can you just solo the layer?)
