Huion Tablet not working in AE

[brandonmar97]

In older versions of After Effects CC I was able to use my Huion drawing tablet for the brush tool. My drawing tablet is still functioning properly with other programs, but when I open After Effects my tablet is no longer responsive, and only my mouse can move the cursor. I've tried turning off my mouse, restarting AE, unplugging the tablet and plugging it back in, but it is still not responsive.

Can anyone help me with this issue?

I"m running Windows 10 Pro 64-bit and After Effects CC 2017 if that helps any.

What was the last version of AE that you used successfully with your Huion tablet?

Thank you for your response. I found the solution to the problem. I run my After Effects with administrator privaleges for optimal performance, and it was causing After Effects to run as priority over my drawing tablet driver. This caused my tablet driver to disable whenever After Effects was active. I fixed this issue by running my tablet driver as an administrator. According to my research, this issue can occur with tablets that After Effects is not built to support. I use a Huion 650s.
