How can I trash my AE prefs.?
It seems that each time, when I try to import ANY KIND of file OR EXPORT ANY proyect, AE freezes. Chances are that this is caused by the AE Prefs. What is the exact procedure for doing it? I tried Adobe Help, but I didn’t understood clearly.

Hold down Alt + Ctrl + Shift when you start up AE, it will ask you, “Are you sure you want to delete your preferences?”.
The same works for PhotoShop.

The preference file is in a hidden folder on a PC, you have to activate hidden folder view (tools-folder options-view-show hidden folder)
The preferences are located in C-documents and settings-your username-application data-Adobe-After Effects(will be accompanied by a version number)
Delete the After Effects folder. Once you have a good set of preferences, simply copy the After Effects folder that I described above to another location on your PC…..that way when After Effects starts to act a little crazy, you can just bring that folder back in to replace the corrupted one, without losing templates etc.
