Question

AE keeps crashing - before quitting, you have one chance to save your project

Hola!

 

Estoy con la versión 24.3 de After Effects y Windows 10 Home.

 

Estoy teniendo problemas importando archivos .ai a After Effects como composiciones:

  • Tras abrir el programa, oprimo ctrl + i para importar, selecciono el archivo de illustrator y lo configuro para que se importe como "composition/layer size". Ni bien se carga en el panel de proyecto, me salta el siguiente mensaje "before quitting, you have one chance to save your proyect (don't use the same name as the original)" (imagen 1) y luego de guardar, se cierra AE. 
  • También intenté importar un archivo de Illustrator (como composición) en un archivo de AE que ya tenía trabajado. Primero apareció "After Effects can't continue: Fast Draft plug-in generated an unexpected exception" (imagen 2) y luego "before quitting, you have..." (imagen 3)
  • Puedo importar material como "footage" sin problema y también puedo usar el programa siempre y cuando no trate de importar composiciones.

 

Espero alguien me pueda ayudar ya que trabajo como motion graphic designer y necesito que AE funcione.

Hi There,
I've been experiencing an issue since updating After Effects last week. Whenever I open a project, within about 10 seconds, a window pops up with the message:
"Before quitting, you have one chance to save the project (don't use the same name as the original)."
After saving the project under a new name, After Effects immediately crashes.

This now happens consistently with any project I try to open. I’ve attempted to roll back to older versions of After Effects, but the issue persists.

After reading through this thread, I upgraded my operating system from Windows 10 to Windows 11 and ensured all drivers are up to date, but the problem still remains.

Additionally, the After Effects project is a dynamically linked file from Premiere Pro, and because of this crash, my Premiere project cannot render properly either.

I would appreciate any guidance or solutions to help resolve this issue.
Thank you.

I am having this same issue! When i try to make a 3d object (whenever i check the 3d icon on the layer) the program crashes.

I am having this problem too. Did you find a solution? When I click on 3D, the same problem occurs to me.

Are you still having the issue? Let us know.

I am moving this thread from Bugs to Discussions for now.
