AE Project Won’t Open

[Roei Tzoref]

Try this:
Rename the asset folder of your project. This will force Ae to report the assets as missing and if the project opens you can see it’s one of the assets that is causing this.

If this does not work then try uninstalling and reinstalling the software.

If this doesn’t work try uninstalling all plugins and scripts.

Also try a different workstation.

Oh! I got it to work! I’m not positive but there might have been a missing file within my Premiere project that was linked to AE. Maybe y’all can look at my workflow to see if there’s a better way I can do this so I don’t have any more problems like this in the future.

I created my asset folders (001_video, 002_audio, etc.), created my Premiere folder (003_premiere), I started my project in premiere and dragged the timeline to After Effects (004_aftereffects) so I can add animations. I’ve never had a problem doing it this way in the past but now I’m questioning if this is the best way to do this.

Thank you again for your help, Roei!

Nothing seems wrong with your workflow. When you drag and drop (or copy paste) timelines, you are converting (not linking which is something else) a Premiere project to Ae project (or Vice versa if you want) so if files are missing, you should get a notification about it in Ae.

So not exactly sure why this happened.

I had the same problem. It’s worked for me by going: File/Open project and selecting that project
