  • After Effects Crashes When Opening Project

    Posted by John Doe on November 11, 2018 at 2:41 am

    Hello again. This is really urgent to me. I’ve been working on a project for a bit, and all of sudden whenever I open it up, it starts throwing a lot of errors relating to plugins and crashes. Any help is seriously appreciated.

    What errors does it throw specifically?

    Have you tried rebooting the computer?

    If you can hold Shift while opening a project, Ae will close any open comps during load so they don’t try to render right away — that can be very helpful for getting past issues like this.

    Holy smokes, man, you just saved my bacon over here. This, thankfully, was the first result in my Google search to try and get around this and holding shift and opening the project worked like a champ.

    Thank you for sharing!
