Hi Jon,
I’m using a G5 dual 2.0 with 2 gigs of ram and a blackmagic HD card. I’m running AE 6.5 with the bundled version of 3D invigorator I’m not sure of the version.
I’ve had this problem a couple of times before but luckily this happened after the projects were complete. I was able to get into this most recent project by removing the zaxworks folder from the plugins directory and restarting the application. When I restarted AE it indicated the plugin was missing but it started. I removed the comps that used the plugin then saved and quit. I replaced the zaxworks plugin and restarted the app and now, suprisingly, the previously unaccessible projects which still used zaxworks now opened. I don’t know that there’s anything you can add to this I just thought it would be a good idea to share the experience. If this does continue I’ll take your advice and contact zaxworks directly.
Thanks for your reply
