I am new to AE. Shot some clips on D800 and import to AE. First few clips was still alright. After the fourth one, screen when black. Did I run out of RAM?

I am using a 3 year old 15" MBP.

Thanks.
 

Most unlikely. If AE runs out of ram to preview it will just loop to the start of the timeline again. Can you elaborate more on the situation? What is the composition settings?
 

Thanks Sgdevilzz.

I found the solution, or rather the problem. There was one feature that upon clicking it, the FX would apply to the layers below? Somehow when i click that, or all the FX feature on each layer, it turned black. Right now, i am manually adjusting the FX on each layer.

Whats your advice? Many thanks.

Which feature is that? Technically it's not black. Its transparent. You can toggle that, the button is located at the panel below the view screen.

Could you be on an adjustment layer? Or solo the layer itself?
 

yeah lor. Trying to figure out. Thanks for the help. So far, i am back on track. Will avoid that button at the moment. haha
