Hi grace_mooyoo,

 

Sorry for the crash.

Did you try Toolfarm's suggestion? If it doesn't help, try changing the permissions as instructed in the following article: https://helpx.adobe.com/in/x-productkb/multi/preferences-folder-read-only-error.html

Let us know the outcome.

 

Thanks,

Nishu

You find AfterFX.exe you want to launch. For instance,

 

C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe After Effects 2021\Support Files\AfterFX.exe

 

and then, you right-click it and choose Run as Administrator.
