Question

After Effects crashing ane project files gone

Yesterday I moved my programs folder onto another SSD because of storage issues. Afterwards my After Effects didn't launch properly and my projects lost their AE icon. I can't open them no longer which sucks since I was currently working on one for more than a week.

 

Is there a way to fix those issues? Help would be really appreciated. I can't just move the folder back either because it's too big for the main SSD.

You cannot simply move Adobe programs!!! You have to uninstall and reinstall them properly using the CC app. That's also where you can change the install path, though of course in particular some shared components liek the CC app itself will always be installed on your system root.
