wierd crash when draging and adding files to composition?!?

[Michael Rosen]

Chiming in here too.
AE cs5 crashes 5-6 times a day on me and it’s always the same thing: I’m dragging something in the UI…..sometimes from the finder, sometimes an effect onto a layer, sometimes from photoshop or illustrator….or sometimes just from the project window to the timeline.

It always saves my work for me, but it’s a bit annoying and just about the only time CS5 crashes ever.

Thanks for any thoughts.

I ended up upgrading to 9.02 (I’m CS4) and that seems to have solved it. However, I would say that I developed the habit of selecting files and double clicking effects to add them rather than dragging them onto the layer. I’ve also limited myself to using standard importing methods to get footage into the project, rather than dragging from finder. Annoying, but works.
