    After Effects can sometimes become stuck off screen, making it impossible to access controls to move the window. The document provides two solutions to this issue: 1) Use the keyboard shortcut CTRL/CMD + \ to maximize the app window and bring it back on screen. 2) If that doesn't work, try option/alt clicking and dragging from a window corner to resize it until it's possible to grab and move the window. Changing the display resolution may also reset After Effects and solve the problem.

    Help! After Effects is Stuck


    Off Screen (easy fix)

    OK, this might be a niche one. Have you ever had


    the issue where After Effects get stuck off
    screen and then you can't reach the top bar to
    move the window, so you have no way of getting
    it back?

    No? consider yourself lucky.

    It happens to me sometimes when I unplug an


    external monitor.

    Next time, try

    CTRL/CMD + \ to maximize app


    window

    Try CTRL+\ to re-max App Window

    THANK YOU to Roland for the shortcut, and


    thanks to Austin for sharing the question so we
    could all benefit from it.

    If that doesn't work


    _` Try option+click resizing the window
    from the corner until you can grab the
    window and move it.

    a` Try changing your display resolution -


    it should reset After Effects to fit the
    screen. Quit AE, then change your
    resolution back and restart AE. Pray it
    works.
