    Hi, I really hope someone can help because adobe support is non-existent.

    Current AE is up to date 17.1.4 and screenshot shows my computer

    I started a new project a few days ago and it started crashing repeatedly. It’s very simple. Just 2 comps with shape layers. I imported a couple of video clips and png’s originally. When troubleshooting with Abobe they had me import my project into a new project and they had me reset my preferences. Did not help.

    Today I started a brand new project and only imported 4 png’s and it started again. The only effects I’m using on any layer are fill and roughen edges. That’s it. So, I uninstalled and reinstalled AE tonight. Deleted png’s. Imported project into new one. And still crashed.

    I don’t know what to do. My other much more complicated project is fine. Zero problems.

    Hi mel, have you recently installed any plugins? They’re usually the main cause of my repeat crashes.

    Also fonts can sometimes cause issues, if you’ve installed a new one?

    Also, what do you mean “Adobe support is non-existent”? There’s a HUGE team of people employed by Adobe to offer technical support.
