After Effects “Hide” Bug

[Steve Roberts]

a) double-click on the project name at the top of the window
b) use cmd-tab to switch between apps

That’s what I’ve found, anyway. 🙂

Until this bug is fixed, Minimize instead of “hide” after effects by clicking the yellow button on the top left of the window.

If you find that you are stuck with a hid AE, you can force quit it while inducing an automatic save of your project by going into the Terminal and typing:

ps -xc

note the PID number for AE

then type:

kill -SEGV xxx (replace the xxx with the PID for AE)

it will save an incremental copy of your project in the same place where the last version was saved.

hope that helps,
