Question

After Effects keeps on crashing when I try to open a comp :(

Hello everyone,

 

First, I would like to start by saying that English isn't my first language so I apologise in advance for my grammar.

 

I have this problem since this morning

I have this project that contains several comps (I hope I'm using the right term). I can open most of them. But when I try to open a specific one (the most important one, at that) AE keeps on crashing and telling me that a copy of my project has been saved with another name on my folder (file attached) and then something about mutithreaded render report. So I tried to open the copy but it did the exact same thing (copying the project with another name on the folder). And I did it again and again and again but it still doesn't work. I restarted my computer, nothing. I tried to open it with a different versiosn of AE, still nothing.

 

I don't understand why it does that because 5 minutes before it started I could open the comp without any problem.

 

Does anyone knows how to solve this problem ? 

 

Thanks in adance !

Likely some weird data corruption. Try to open the comp with capslock enabled to suppress rendering, then sift through the comp and disable effects and layers, clean caches and so on. Conversely, try the old trick of importing your botched project into a new one so AE is forced to rebuild the structure.

Thank you for your answer !

 

I tried to open the comp with capslock but it didn't work either.

But it's ok, I had a previous version of the comp saved on a Google Drive so I was able to recover it and restart a bit 🙂

Thank you again for your answer and have a nice day !!!
