Updated to After Effects 23.4 now crashes continuously. After launching AE and start working on a project for work it crashed within 5min and when trying to reopen I receive a message prompt:

"We detected a crash in your last session. Crashs can potentially be causes by faulty plugins or corrupt preferecnes. We recommend starting a Safe Mode session in ordfer to diagnose the problem. During Safe Mode session default prefeances are used and 3rd party effect plugins can be disabled."

 

I tried the following:

  • Putting it in Safe Mode - Crashed in 5min
  • Reset Preferances - Crashes in 5min
  • Managed Plugins disabled all plugins - Crashed in 5min
  • Uninstalled Plugins and Restared computer - Still crashed in 5min
  • Uninstalled AE and Reinstalled - Still crashed...
  • Downgraded to previous update - still crashed.

 

Any idea on what to do?

@goody bags Can you describe more of what your export looks like? What format are you exporting to? Is it to a local disk or a network drive? Does AE start exporting and crash or does it actually just hang and stop responding? I'm not sure it's the "same" issue as the original user as theirs is more about something happening after a certain time, not specifically during export.

I'm having the same issue on export. How do we find the crash report? I sent the log in but I dont know who to contact about it

Interesting, that’s definitely not expected. You said above that downgrading to an older version is also now crashing?

Are you on Mac or Windows? GPU driver version?

Does not provide me with the option to send any comment or a crash report. I alwasy get that plugin prompt.

When you crash, are you getting a crash report dialog and are you sending that in? Is it connected to the email you use on these forums? I'm hoping I can look up the crash to let you know what's going on.
