Delete After Effects Preference File?
Hey guys,
I need help as fast as possible! I recently kinda destroyed my after effects when i was editing the preferences. In “Video Preview” I have choosen some other option. That was the biggest mistake I could ever do, because my AE after that turned black. Everytime Im starting AE and make it the active window, the whole screen goes black and i just can see my mouse pointer and the dock. So i cannot go to the preferences menu again, not even by trying to open it via the shortcut.
I need to reset my preferences now because of that but I didnt find any way to do this.
Already tried reinstalling ae, didnt workI’m using Mac OS X 10.6 + AE CS4
Thanks in advance!

If you’re on a Mac (you mention the dock) hold down the Command + Option + Shift keys as you start After Effects, this will allow you to delete the corrupt preference file. On a PC its Control + Alt + Shift.
