Question

After Effects not saving?

Hello,

 

So, the After Effects project I've been working on won't save. Autosave is on, but I only now realized that it has not been working? The program is fine/responding perfectly, other than that every time I click save (or any variation of saving) it doesn't do anything. There seems to be plenty of storage on my computer, and even if I try to save it to an external drive (where I have saved things before), there is no luck.

 

Does anyone know why this might be or if there are any other workarounds I could use so that I don't lose all my work?

    This is also happening to me after just updating to the latest (22.5). Absolutely nothing happening when I click 'Save' or 'Save As' and can't find ANY workaround whatsoever. Can't even render my composition in AE or Encoder... INFURIATING! 

     

    Does anyone have a solution?

    This has just happened to me. Lost a day of complex work. How can I stop this from happening again? It's really bad for workflow.

    I am currently experiencing this same issue. I just updated and now when I try to save, I hit save and literally nothing happens. Can't find any possible way to save. Very frustrating to say the least.

    In edit - preferences - auto save can you see a location for the file? 🤔 🤔

     

    And do you not see a file path across the very top of the screen beside the small AE logo? 😮🤔 🤔

    Yes, I do see the autosave file path. There are not any saved files in that location.

     

    Hmm... no, I don't see a file path across the top of the screen.

    So if you press file - save as ... or file - save a copy... what happens? 😮 

     

    Also are you synced to creative cloud folder? 😮🤔 🤔
