  • AE crashes everytime I try to open project.

    I have a project file that I saved multiple copies of on a windows machine. I’m using a mac now and don’t have access to the windows computer and need to open it. Everytime I open it, it loads all the stuff in the project window just fine then it says “After Effects error: crash occurred while invoking effect plugin “SK Sharpen”. Then keeps going with the same message for other plugins, “Colorista II”, “Roto Brush & Refine Edge”. and “Auto Levels” I have all of these plugins installed on the machine. and have tried it on two different machines. It then tries to save the project but only gets to 21% and freezes. I’ve tried importing the projectfile as well as keeping caps lock activated. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! I would send the project file to someone and pay them if they could fix it. It’s important. Thanks.

    Try turning CAPS LOCK on and opening the project. This will suppress rendering. Once the project is open, wait a few seconds and turn Caps Lock back off — see if it still crashes.
