AE CC - Timeline expands to project length after full screen preview

This seems to have only started happening recently, and it's a pain. After you preview an effect in full screen, the time navigator brackets are pulled to the very start and end of the video. You return from a fullscreen video preview to see your timeline extended over the whole duration of the project.
Is there some way to turn this off? I frequently work on small sections of a project, regularly watching full-screen previews to check how various changes look, and after the tenth or so time what starts as a minor irritation becomes completely infuriating. It seems like something easily fixed, but I've had no luck finding out how.
Thanks in advance.

Ah, okay, this is a more interesting problem than I thought. Sorry I didn't put that info in before; my assumption was this was a poorly-considered feature which could be easily turned off and I was just too dumb to figure out how.
I'm on Windows 7 x64, running AE version 12.2.1.5 (as far as I'm aware this is the latest version). I haven't done anything dramatic with my PC lately or with AE settings. If it helps, I'm running with: an Intel Core i7-2600 CPU @ 3.4GHz, 16GB RAM, using an Nvidia GeForce GT530.

  • Vertex Array Object deleted after full screen RAM preview

    Hi,
    I'm writing a plugin where I use OpenGL VAOs. Everything works fine, also RAM preview, but when I cancel full screen RAM preview and render a new frame the VAO is somehow deleted. I called glGenVertexArrays for testing and the handle it returns is 1, which was previously the handle of my valid VAO.
    Has anyone had this problem?  It only happens when using full screen RAM preview. I also tested this in the GLator sample by generating dummy VAOs and it's exactly the same.

    Hi Rick,
    Thanks for the reply.
    I've changed the .mp3 file to a .wav file and that seemed to fix everything, for the time being...
    It previewed for 10 seconds fine, but after about 15mins of working on this the RAM preview area has started to shrink again and it's only previewing just over half (5 seconds).
    I changed my memory and allocated 4GB to other apps, also turning off rendering multiple frames... (by the way for some reason I can't get my 'actual cpu's that will be used' to change from 0? This seemed odd). Still no change.
    I've attached a screenshot of my comp details below, along with a shot of my screen when RAM previewing... (you can see the green bar does not go all the way). I'm not working with ANY footage which is why this is most peculiar, just the wav file so I can edit to the beat.
    Once again if there is anything else you can think of...

  • Aperture viewer issues after full screen view - in Browser, Split View and Viewer modes

    2012 MacBook Air, Mac OS 10.8.2, Aperture 3.4.3. Everything is up to date and, as usual, has been working just fine since the last update a few weeks ago. Full screen view never caused any issues... until today.
    I tried quitting and restarting Aperture. Using another Aperture library. Quitting everything and restarting my MBA... same behavior.
    I went into the full screen view, edited a photo and got out of the full screen view to export it.
    All of the sudden, only one line of thumbnails was showing up in my Broswer view (out of 380 pictures in that project). Looking closely at it, it seems like the Aperture now thinks that the desktop area it has to work with (the dark gray area where the thumbnails are) is larger than the aperture window because a part of photo is showing up cut off at the right edge and no slider at the bottom:
    (note: at the bottom it says 380 items displayed)
    Going back to full screen view, everything looks and works as nothing has happened:
    In Broswer view, if I scroll down such that the first row is out of the view, the second row of thumbnails shows up:
    Now, if I scroll back up, two rows of thumbnails are shown in the viewer:
    To get the third row to show up, I need to scroll down to get the top two rows out of the way and so on.
    At some point I saw this weirdo but have not been able to replicate it:
    Split View also has its issues - the photo itself is no longer centered and the slider at the bottom gets out of the way past the right edge of the Aperture window before reaching the end of the row of thumbnails:
    Finally, when double clicking the photo in the Split View to view it by itself, once again it is not centered and cut off on the right side but there is no slider...
    Any ideas? I tried looking through the Viewer-related threads on here and did not see anything close to this. Is there a way to contact Apple support? I found some form somewhere on the website, but it had a dropdown for operating system and nothing past 10.7.2 so I am guessing it is not being maintained...
    edit: added the note under the first image

    When the graphical user interface is misbehaving, it frequently helps to remove the Aperture preferences apple.com.Aperture.plist from your user library, see the Aperture 3: Troubleshooting Basics on how to do this.

  • Imovie'09 crashes when full screen preview of project

    Hello,
    When I try to preview a project that I made in full screen, the application crashes. Is this a problem with the application or the OS?
    Thanks for you suggestions.

    @thomasfrommaitiand -- are you referring to the projects when you say left side of my screen?
    I will share my findings.
    I cleared my issue basing on inputs that I received from this thread https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3343087?start=0&tstart=0
    Basically, I had to duplicate my project so that I do not loose my original version and then started deleting each clip, audio overlays, transitions from the project one by one. I had photos interlaced in my project along with the video and some audio clip overlaying the video.
    Luckily about 1 minute int the project, I identified that a Title slide that I had inserted into the project was causing the full screen to crash. Once I deleted that 1 slide, I was able to run my project in full screen without any issues. It is quite cumbersome and manual especially if you have multiple pieces in your project. However, you are desperate to have your project working like mine, this is the only best solution that I could garner. However, I also followed the instructions from the above mentioned thread posted by "elikness" and deleted the imovie.plist. That didnt really help but I followed those instructions too.

  • Project iOS iMovie full screen to projector

    How do I project an iOS iMovie full screen to projector from my iPad

    When you say iMovie shuts down when you try to play your project in full screen, does iMovie crash? Or does iMovie stay open. I have no solution as my iMovie will crash if I try to play full screen. The only work around is to export to Quicktime and play that in full screen. But all that is labor intensive.Good luck.

  • Videos within captivate project grow to full screen on click?

    Hello,
    I will be importing several videos into my Captivate project -- each will take up about 1/3 of the screen.  I would like to add a button that the user to click to grow the video to full-screen size and take up the entire frame of the Captivate project.  Can anyone point me in the right direction?  I know some javascript, but I am not even sure where to start in javascript (if that is necessary.)
    Thanks for any help!
    Ryan

    Hello,
    Welcome to Adobe Forums.
    You may another way to achieve it.
    Add your videos twice (1st one in small size and another full screen size)
    On the button click call an Advanced Action (Standard Action) -> "Hide" : 1st one and "Show" : Full Screen
    Note : You need to "uncheck" Visible for the full screen video, once you add the full screen size (To hide the video)
    Thanks,

  • Switchable Graphics on Vista x64 - Aero is messed up after full screen video or sleep

    http://i41.tinypic.com/v7rrpu.jpg 
    It happens all the time -- after exiting a windows media player, after resuming from sleep or hibernation...
    This is a CLEAN new FRESH vista Business x64 install - just 10 hours old.
    It has all the newest drivers and software, installed directly from System Update.
    I had to reinstall the system because of this problem; turns out it is haunting me, on and on.
    When using the ATI graphics the problem disappears, however the ATI graphics are loud and consume too much power.
    Additional software installed: Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Office 2007 with Service Pack 1, NOD32 3.0 and Skype. No additional applications! And i hardly doubt these are the ones causing the problems!
    If anyone has a clue about this problem, please share!!! And yes, this is a fresh, clean install (as a matter of fact - not for the first time), the video drivers are the most recent, DirectX is updated. Reinstalling the drivers doesn't fix the problem (tried it on my last fresh install).
    On Vista 32-bit this didn't happen, however i have 3GB RAM and Vista x32 allocated only 2,5 GB and I had to upgrade to make use of my full memory.
    Windows (vista x64 Business SP1) has all the important updates installed;
    PC Doctor won't find any problems with the video card - i ran all the possible tests and they all got a 'pass'.

  • Expand picture in picture to full screen?

    I am making a video of a newcast type deal, and I have anchors introduce the clip while looking at it in the top left corner which I have playing there, but is there a way to make it expand from that top corner to take up full, or split, screen while playing?

    Ok so I have got to find some tutorials then. Because I was lost in your explanation. Is the apple pro training stuff worth buying? What about Lynda.com, is it good or still up to date?
    I had the two videos, one track above the other, and to adjust the keyframe of video two, you have to open the motion tab right, but it is not real time, or real size. Because I can't see the size to get the scale correct. Or the timing to match it with video one so that one shrinked at same time two scaled up. Does my convoluded attempt to explain make any sense? Sorry about that.
    BTW, any idea if in final cut there is a way, or premade deal, to have a video tape melting effect?
    Thanks again for all your help. Really helpful.

  • MacPro 7300GT and 20 in lcd flashing after full screen app quits.

    hi all
    Just got this problem today.
    When an app changes from full screen back to the finder my Apple 20 in lcd starts to flash black-blue, power light goes full on too.
    A reset solves the problem until another app quits from full screen.
    For a split second I could see the finder - in a blue hue.
    No force quit or quit could get back to the finder.
    Any help? 10.4.8 8L2127

    Any news on this one?
    I've got the same problem: Sometimes if an application tries to change the resolution (e.g. redline but happens with other games too) it will start to show a blue screen for two seconds then switch off the display for two seconds.. in what appears to be an infinite loop. Mac Pro, 7300 Gt, 10.4.8 8L2127 and a 23" cinema display

  • Can't get full screen view- how do I expand the browser window to full screen

    A portion of the available screen is used to display open tabs. I want the browser to fill the whole view screen. Is there a way to do this? I am running Firefox on an android tablet.

    You should be able to "swipe" the tabs list away. Press with your finger near the line that separates the tab list from the webpage, and drag to the left.

  • How to launch a WebHelp Project Full Screen

    Folks still having a problem trying to launch my WebHelp
    project full screen from our local intranet page. The project still
    opens within the window of the Intranet page (so I loose quite a
    bit of screen space).
    This is what I have done so far:
    In the Windows folder I selected the Properties option for
    the NewWindow and:
    1. Re named the Window Caption
    2. Unchecked the Use Default Browser Settings and selected
    just the resizable option
    Next I selected the WebHelp file and clicked on Publish
    Then clicked on the View Primary Layout to view the changed
    project unfortunately none of the changes took effect!
    Is it possible for a WebHelp project to open full screen in
    it’s own window?
    Tony

    Do you use a script to open the window?

  • Why do I loose rendered footage from my timeline in Premiere Elements 10, after saving my project !

    Why do I loose rendered footage from my timeline in Premiere Elements 10, after saving my project on exit! When I reopen the project, the timeline needs rendering again! Can anyone help me with this problem, it's driving me mad!
    Is there a fix, or is it a problem with settings in the program! Any help, greatly appreciated! Mike's Media.

    Mike,
    Welcome to the forum.
    Along with the answers to Steve's questions, please tell us about your computer's I/O sub-system, i.e. your computer's HDD's, and especially where the Project, the media and the PrE Scratch Disks are stored. For instance, if everything is on C:\, or perhaps the Project, media and Scratch Disks are all on an external USB 2.0 HDD.
    Good luck,
