After Effects error at start up

  • July 2, 2021

The dialog box pops up after I launch After Effects and pick the project I want to work on.  I believe it is specific to some projects.  The message is:

 

``After Effects error: internal verification failure, sorry! {no current context}``

 

I click "Ok" and the dialog box disappears and everything seems normal.  I've seen other posts about this but they predate the version I have.  macOS 11.4, After Effects 18.2.1

Correct answer Mylenium

The meaning is still the same, regardless of what version. If it only occurs with specific projects start by considering what they actualyl contain - a certain effect, stuff like Rotobrush, masks on certain types of footage, combinations of layer switches and so on. If it's siumple stuff, consider stripping down the project and rebuilding it/ re-applying effects and so on. Otherwise the old trick of importing projects into empty projects to enforce a structural refresh may also help. That and of course these days also try and flush your caches and rebuild them.

    Thank you.

     

    In my searches I never found the advice and suggestions you provided but they make good sense.  I've just been ignoring the problem.  It appears to be benign but then again, I do have to restart AE if I use it for more than a few hours.  The answers I found in my search was just to update.
