Hello, I currently find the solution of my monitors problems.

THERE ARE TWO PROBLEMS 

1. Panel sizes not saved : It seems to be linked to the monitor definition. the workaround is : DO NOT SET THE AE WINDOW TO FULL SCREEN. If you resize the window manualy some pixels less that full screen, every thing works fine, the panes are saved !!!!

2. vertical black lines in the time line during preview. That's a very old problem linked to the windows scaling factor. Every thing works fine if the scalling fac

And what panels are you specifically referring to? What are the sizes? How do you expect them to behave?

Hi there, 

 

Thanks for reaching out. As Mylenium mentioned, is it happening with a particular panel or all of them? What is the exact version of After Effects are you using: https://community.adobe.com/t5/after-effects/faq-how-to-find-the-exact-version-of-after-effects-you-...

Please share a screen recording so that we can understand the issue better.

 

Looking forward to your response.

 

Thanks,

Not an AE issue. That's up to how your graphics card treats the two monitors as separate. AE simply opens on the primary screen and then fits the workspace into the available space, which in your case doesn't cover both screens. You need to dig into your graphics driver settings and change the desktop spanning behavior.

Hello,

My video card is RTX 2080 Ti driver version 436.15 CUDA 10.1  DirectX 12.0

I tried all 4 possibilities and get allways the same problem

But I am may be not clear, the problem is not on left and right monitors spanning, that's OK

The problem is IN the AE main window (left monitor)

The window is divided in 5 panel groups

Top from left to right : project, Effect params, (Infos, audio, characters, ...) and last (Preview and effects list)

Bottom : Compo Timeline

The problem is in top part, the size of the 4 blocs are not restored 

The 3 first groups have a minimum width and the last group is just filling the window

Remark : this behaviour works prefect in Premiere Pro on same PC

Hello,

I have some more info on that problem, It is linked to the monitor definition, and windows scaling factor.

If I down grade the monitor and graphic card to 1920 x 1080 scalling factor 100%, it is OK

As soon as I switch to full resolution and scalling factor 125% as recomanded, I have the problem.

Remark : the vertical "glitshes" displayed in time line during preview are also linked to the same setup.

I tried all video card different setups available, nothing helps.

Back to 1920 x 1080 it is OK. 

Thanks for the help

This works but once you set the window to fullscreen again it goes back to not saving any of the top panels. The last one gets stretched again.
