Wow, damn. I think I just got burned.

Sadly, importing the file did not work for me–I get the same error message.
File scavenger is just for finding deleted files on your hard drive, right? I don’t think it will help with fixing my current project file.
Does anyone know anything that will?

Eh, I’d think so too, if not for the fact that my boss bought me this computer and it was the best Dell for video editing on the market at the time (year ago now).

Thanks so much! This was what I needed to know!

Bill: Yes, manually removing the open GL files from my AE directory has still worked. I crash much less often now. Andrew Kramer says that if you use Color Key to get rid of most of your blue/green, and then throw Keylight on top of that to fine-tune it, that keylight has to work less hard and should save some system resources. I have been doing this faithfully with much compositing (every visible moment in my movies has compositing) and I honestly have not noticed any improvement in my system speed.
I have, instead, encountered a new problem. When I select both my Color Key and Keylight effects in my layer’s Effects Properties window and ctrl + c to copy them and paste them elsewhere, about 75% of the time AE crashes to the desktop, without even an error message. I have lost much work because of this. It doesn’t happen all the time, but often enough to be very annoying. To get around this, I have to select only one of the effects, paste it where I want it, and the select the other, and do the same. It only crashes when I copy 2 to the clipboard.
Kenneth: No, I have not had that problem. What I have had, however, is my movie squished down to a 4:3 aspect ratio, even though the composition settings are 16:9. I can get around this by changing my workspace to a much smaller part of the entire file and then rendering out the entire movie in ten second segments–this maintains my aspect ratio. But if I try to render something long, it gets squished. Very annoying.

Ah thanks, that was my problem 🙂

It worked! I have literally been suffering from this problem for MONTHS, so thank you very much 🙂

Oh wow thank you, yes I am still having crashing problems even though Open GL has been disabled for months (though most of my crashes do not have Open GL error messages). I’m rendering a file right now but as soon as it is done I will take the Open GL folder out of my adobe folder and see if that helps. I’ll let you know if it does 🙂

Thanks for all the advice folks, but nope, nothing has worked yet. Just tried using AE for a scene I assembled in Premiere. I imported the premiere project (about three minutes long, one hundred or so layers) and thankfully AE didn’t crash. However, it has crashed multiple times since then and I have received such messages as “AE crashed while rendering Keylight” or “while rendering curves” or “while rendering brightness/contrast”.
In order to use AE, I cannot scrub the timeline. I use keylight on all the layers in one camera shot, collor correct them and add any other effects, hit caps-lock, pre-compose them, render them, import the lossless file, place it above those layers, and then shut off those layers. It is the only way I ca get any work done.
