I've rebooted my computer as well as uninstall/reinstalled the GWD program. Even after I am unable to utilize the preview button. Nothing happens and sometimes I get a ' ! Objectobject.' message which I am unsure what to do with. What else is there I can do?

Hi,

Can you try the following steps?

1. Clear your cache

Application cache locations:
Windows: 
\Users\<username> \AppData\Local\Google\Google Web Designer\data\cache

MAC:
/Users/<username>
/Library/Application Support/Google/Web Designer/data/cache


2. Restart GWD
3. Create a new file with your favorite content
4. Preview

Please let us know if it works for you or not. If the problem still exists, can you reply and attach your source files so that we can triage?

Thanks,
Emily (GWD Team)

I have the same issue. Re-Installing GWD and clearing cache didn't help. What else can I do?

Having a similar issue with preview adding in duplicate keyframes to a previously saved and edited file.

Previewing externally and internally duplicate certain keyframes on random layers.

Scrapping and starting over.

I there Jaz,

I am having a issue where I can't preview you my ad. Could you look at the files and perhaps help me out?

Thanks,

Also faced with this problem, but I managed to solve it. Preview button did not work when the path to the folder containing the project files has Cyrillic letters, for example: E:\work\banners\банер_тест.
Try to use only English letters for names and pathes.

I'm having the exact same issues, although I didn't run into any errors. It's ridiculous that this is still a problem after so long. Is it related to operating system? I switched to Windows 10 when it was the last chance to do so for free.

This works! Botton didn`work because I had selected folder with non-english characters. So for the folders only english will work! Thanks!

Hey Guys,

I have the same issue but I fixed this, Can you check some problem.

1. Clear your cache.
2. Don't create name with special characters (need only English)
3. Disable Ad-Block or Any Plugin Block Ads on your Browser.

Hope can help you.
