  • After Effects Project Won’t Open

    Posted by Shawn Shaffer on July 5, 2018 at 8:01 pm

    So a friend sent me an Mac After Effects Project file, using Google Drive. When I download it, it shows the file as 0 Bytes, and when i try importing it into After Effects it says “After Effects warning: Unable to import file “…” as project(bad format or not readable). But when i try double clicking the file to open it, it says “After Effects error: Can’t Import File “”: unsupported filetype or extension. (0;;1).” The file type is an .aep file, I don;t know what I am doing wrong.

    The zero bytes should be enough to tell you that it’s an incomplete upload.

    But somebody else was able to download it and open it with no problems.

    I did try downloading it again, and the same thing happens.

    Get that person who downloaded send it to you in a different path.
