walt.farrell Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 You have an "Untitled" document open in that video, according to the Toolbar. And it has an Artboard, according to the Layers panel and the labeling in the workspace.

MikeTO Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 FYI this is a known issue in 2.2.0 for macOS in light mode without a document open.

And nothing happens in that video when I watch it. There's a document open at the beginning, and at the end.

There's a document open at the beginning, and at the end. The point is that — when there is no document open — some buttons (like Add under the selection) are transparent and let the desktop wallpaper appear through them.

If that's the point, why provide a video in which there's always a document open? Or what am I missing?

I guess the video isn't playing correctly for you. There's a document for the first five seconds, then no document for 14 seconds which demonstrates the problem, and then a new document for 5 seconds. walt.farrell 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woefi Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 7 hours ago, walt.farrell said: Or what am I missing? -> Obviously you are not seeing the video but instead just a still picture. Are you browsing on Windows? Seems to me that some browsers have problems playing videos from MacOS screenrecordings which are usually ".mov". I usually drop my screen recordings onto Handbrake to convert to MP4 before posting here. Just to check on this off-topic forum/video-issue: Are you able to play the video in this linked bug report: walt.farrell 1 Quote Main machine: iMac 2019 (21,5-inch 4k, 6core), 64GB RAM, 1TB nvme + 2TB ssd, running on Mac OS 14 Sonoma; Display setup: 28" 5k Display (primary) + 21,5" iMac4k-Display for studio panels (secondary); Keyboard layout: german apple extended keyboard (aluminium); Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
