    the reports shows version 13.0. the latest update for cc2014 should be 13.2. i would try updating to the latest version.

    you might also check for the latest update to yosemite.

    you didn’t mention it, but if you are double-clicking a project file to open AE, try opening AE first, then opening the project file. as a troubleshooting tcp, that would start to point at a possible corruption of the project file, or bad effect, media, or something along those lines.

    if you can open ae, but not the project, try importing the project into a new project.

    if it still crashes, try enabling the caps lock and opening the file. caps lock disables preview, so if it works, that often point to a bad effect. so, before clicking caps lock off, hide all the layer in the open comp (click the ‘eyeball’ icon for each layer), then click caps lock and start enabling each layer individually until you find one that crashes. then go back and try to track down who’s different about the layer (effects, file type, etc). it’s often plugins, and it maybe that there is an update for the plugin…

    I’ll try to update. This version works on my Laptop as well (same OS).

    When i open, I’m opening from the Applications folder… directly into AE (not from a project file)

    It could also be a preference file issue, if you’re still having issues, hold Command+Option+Shift while starting AE it should prompt you to reset the preference file to default settings, click OK and see if it loads without crashing.
