Version 25.01 Not Auto-Saving

Under certain conditions, AE 25.01 is not auto-saving.

When starting a new project in 25.01, auto-save works fine. However, when I open a project created in version 24 in 25.01, auto-save does not work.

Here are the methods I’ve tried:

  • Changed the auto-save interval to 1, 3, and 10 minutes
  • Saved the project after loading a version 24 project in various ways: overwriting the file, saving under a new name, and saving as version 24x
  • Changed the save location from the project folder to a specified folder
  • Enabled save when starting the render queue

Despite these attempts, it seems that no auto-save folder is created, and auto-save does not work.

I accidentally deleted a composition, realized it a few minutes later, and couldn’t retrieve it, which was very frustrating. If you know a good solution, please let me know.

I was able to resolve the issue using the following method.

If you have trouble after upgrading,
As a general solution, you can try resetting your preferences or recreating your preferences folder.

When After Effects is restarted, select "Do not migrate" the previous environment.
