Yes, thanks Dirk! Got it!

Sorry Dirk should have mentioned I have CS6.

I should mention that I had been on the boards some time ago about this. At the time I had three errors, 2 of which I eventually found in my AE files, removed and those errors stopped showing up. I only had the remaining Picasso error.
Everything was perfectly fine with AE until (now I’ll quote from my earlier post) “The only thing I did differently since this started happening was work off of my computer. I used work off of an external Quadra Lacie that has had problems so I turned it off. However I didn’t have After Effects installed on the Lacie, I wasn’t using the program from the drive, it’s installed on my computer, I just had files on there that I would pull up to work on. So I don’t know why that would cause any problems. Since the drive is down I can’t test it, but I can’t open a file from a stick or my desktop without the errors and then a crash.”
The errors (now singular error “After Effects error: Couldn’t find main entry point for Picasso.plugin”) showed up after my external stopped working. I have a feeling if I had the Lacie running that it would work properly. However I don’t want to be dependent on an external drive to run it, which seems weird that it would do in the first place but that’s when the Picasso error started.
Is there a way to roll back the After Affects CS 11.0.4 update that I installed today so I can at least try to be back where I started this morning? To try to get Ray Traced 3D back?
If I do get the Lacie running and it works, I would like to do so with the Ray Traced 3D back and my plugins etc. in tact.

No the Ray-Tracing Renderer was there today, but when you let me know what Picasso was, I went looking for something to help online, which was the update which removed it Ray Tracing. So that’s new one that came while trying to resolve the Picasso problem.

I thought that the After Affects CS 11.0.4 update might help if it was a 3D render problem because of reading about it here
I downloaded the Mac update here
But then I got an error (on top of the original missing Picasso error). It said “1 rendering plug-in was not found. (Standard 3D). The default rendering plug-in will be substitutied.”
I don’t know if I had this native to CS6 (I don’t remember) but it seems like the update completely removed Ray Traced 3D. Evidence of this may be, after the update when I click New Composition I will get my Composition settings and in the Advanced tab I see Classic 3d in the drop down and nothing else. I should probably have the Ray Traced 3D option there right? By the way immediately after creating a new comp I still crash which is the same MO as before.
Is there a way to get Ray Traced 3D back (I know it’s better)? Can I roll back the update?
If my Picasso error and crashing is related to the Ray Tracing, is there a way to change these settings without deleted them? For example since I can open AE, in the settings there?
I want fix this problem but now I’ve got 2 problems.
As it stands now:
I’d like to get Ray Traced 3D back from the update deletion (if that is the case) through a roll back.
And I still need to figure out how to get rid of the Picasso error which is still crashing AE.

Walter I am looking at this video
Is the Render Button drop down in the top right something that I could change? I can get into AE I just can’t open/or create a project or it will crash. I was wondering if this is something I can change or fix in AE, however I do not see that render drop down.

I would like to know this Cassius. I am on a Mac and I looked in Applications/AdobeAfterEffects CS6/Plug-ins and I also looked in Macintosh HD/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Common/Plugins to no avail.
The person I spoke with on Youtube said “I can see a Picasso.aex plugin file in the usual spot – C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe After Effects CC 2017\Support Files\Required”.
But he is on PC and I can’t find the Mac path to that and I would like to.

Will this remove my plugins?
-
Do we know where it is in my program? I’d like to remove it and see if it solves my crashing error but I can not find it.
-
I’ve bought so many plugins over the years I must have but shouldn’t it be in the plugins folder then?
