Question

After Effects is crashing when opening a project (none of the proposed solutions work for me)

I have a big problem with After my project crashes at a specific moment

I'm having a problem with After Effects.
Everything was fine until I closed After Effects yesterday and rebooted my PC.
Now, every time I reopen it, After Effects opens normally, but if I try to load my AEP project (which is in dynamic link with my Premiere Pro project from the same year)
it loads up to 88% and then systematically freezes.

I've tried with an old autosave, same thing, I have to go back far enough in the autosaves for one to open without a hitch, but it's far too old for me to let myself lose such a large amount of work.

I don't understand how this happens, I just know that the project can open, if I move the source files of my project, which are used in it (for example I move my illustrations and the Premiere Pro project somewhere else, then my After Effects project opens correctly, but without my loaded media of course because they've been moved. And if I try to reload them, After Effects crashes again).

I've tried the following solution:
Reset preferences
Reinstall Premiere Pro and After Effects
create a new project then import my old one into it (crashes at 88% when importing the project as if I were opening it on my own)

And it doesn't work, please help me
Many thanks to those who will take the time

Are you still having the issue? Let us know.

I am moving this thread from Bugs to Discussions for now.

 

Thanks,

That's likely AE waiting for Premiere Pro to startup in the background for that dynamic link project. We can go down the path of looking at log files, but you may be better off just exporting the video file from PPro, edit in AE and export again and send it to PPro.
