hi i am using the after effects version 17.1.2 and the other day i opened after effects after trying to install a plug-in and my projects won't open. only one project file (my most recent one) pops up instead of showing all the projects i've worked on and when i press on the project, nothing happens and im getting really frustrated because i put a lot of effort into the project so far 😞 i also tried importing the file and all the other things, please help! also i am using a macbook pro version 11.6

Hi @natalia5FC9 ,

 

Your screengrab indicates that Ae has launched.

 

I assume you are trying to open it from the recent projects list?

 

Can you open the project using File > Menu Open?

 

Are you able to create a new project?

 

Let us know how you go

boris fx continuum! i had it before for a long time and it worked fine but recently each time i would use certain effects my after effects would crash and then it would make a new copy of my project, like an auto-save. but when i would try to open the "auto-saved project copies" it would show the same notification that would show when my after effects crashed due to the plug-in effects. it was really stressful and i wasn't able to use some of my most important effects anymore and had to manually auto save my project ever 2 minutes
