missing data file?
I tried to open an After Effects project today I had just been working on yesterday and I recieved the message “After Effects Error: Misssing Data In File 33::4” . It will not allow me to open the project at all and now I do not have access to a project I have spent a lot of time building. I have tried all of the usual fixes (importing project into a different project, rebooting computer, opening project on different computer) and nothing works. I asked another editor here at work and he said he encountered this sometime back and was told that holding down a code of keys while attempting to launch your AE project would fix it (unfortunately he no longer rembers the code). Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Yeah, I had already tried searching the archives and while I found that numerous people have had this same problem no answers were ever given about how to actually recover a project once it comes up with this error message.
I did however find a good piece of old advice from you however about “incrimental saving” (saving your project every so often under a different name so you can revert back to an earlier version should something like this ever happen). I’ve done hundreds of projects in AE over the past 5 years and have never ever experienced anything like this until now but it is definatley a good piece of advice especialy when working on really big projects that you have put hours/days/weeks/months into! -
Yeah, some stuff just isn’t recoverable. You might want to try the Adobe forums — sometimes an Adobe tech takes pity on us therein and asks to see your AEP file so he/she can fix it from inside. It might work …
