  Delete Preferences – Save workspace?

  Posted by Dustin Bowser on August 4, 2011 at 7:03 pm

  I was just wondering, what files do I need to save or backup so that when After Effects inevitably does screw up and I have to trash my Preferences file, I don’t have to keep recreating my Workspaces and settings and other fine tuning to After Effects that I do all the time.

  It’s so annoying to get all of that working the way you want, only to have to delete your preferences and have to start from scratch.

  Also, all your settings for Memory, Video Card, Auto-Save, etc…

  And all your Output Module Presets that you’ve created.
