AE project freezes up
I’ve got a project that whenever I try to open it After Effects freezes and I have to do the old alt/cntrl/delete (force quit) to finally get it to shut down. Whenever I shut it down I’m given a message about it debugging?
I’ve done all the precautionary incrimental savings of this project under different names and none of them will open as well. I’ve also tried importing this project into another AE project but again it just freezes up. I read in the archives here that holding down the caps lock key while starting might work by not allowing the program to refresh but again No luck. I’ve even tried opening it on another computer but no luck again. And of course I even tried rebooting my system. I have a feeling that there must be some corrupt media somewhere in my project but not being able to open it I cant tell what is corrupt. Some of my project files are on a shared server and recently a few of them got moved around so I am predicting thats where the problem is stemming from.
Anybody else have an idea??
By the way I’m running AE 6.5 on a windows 2000 PC. -

Try moving the media files from their original location. AE will open missing the files, but then you can try and replace them one by one until you figure out which one is the culprit.

Thnx for the advice. I moved all of the associated media files and project to seperate locations and was able to atleast open the project without it freezing up. None of my media was linked but atleast I was able to open it! Then I just simply closed after effects and moved everything back to its original location and when I reopened my project it was as good as new with all media linked again. This process seemed to fix whatever weird little bug was causing the freeze up problem. It doesnt make any sense but the important thing is it worked!
