Hi!

 

I just bought a new mac book pro with 18gb ram since I started a course in After Effects and I needed it to be strong enough for future work and for this specific reasons. It keeps crashing, I have googled and looked into drífferent settings I should change and what not. It is literally driving me crazy now since I can't do anything for more than 1 hour before crash again and I am forced to close the program. I need help with this and then I also need help with other things that I don't seem to manage in the editing. So if there is a kind soul out there that would help a girl out I would be so thankful for the support.

 

Hope to hear from someone haha! 🙂

I’m sorry to hear that you’re experiencing crashes with After Effects.

To better assist you, could you please provide more details about your working environment? Specifically, it would be helpful to know your computer’s specifications (such as operating system, RAM, GPU, and CPU), the version of After Effects you’re using, and whether it’s up to date. Additionally, are you using any third-party plugins, and if so, which ones? Does the crashing occur with a specific project or file, or does it happen with any project you work on? Are there any specific error messages that appear when After Effects crashes? Lastly, have you made any recent changes to your system or software that might coincide with the start of the crashes? Your answers to these questions will help me provide more precise troubleshooting steps.

 

Thanks,

Nishu

Hi Nishu!

Apple M3 pro, Macintosh Hd, Sonoma 14.4, 18GB. 

Yes it is the latest verison of After Effects. No plugins at all. The files are nothing wrong with. It is from my camera roll. 

 

Kind regards,

Could you check if this issue is happening with a specific project or all of them? Is there anything specific that seems to trigger the problem, or does it occur randomly? Also, are you seeing any error messages or crash reports? If a crash report appears after the crash, please provide your email ID when submitting it.
