It turned out to be a corrupt downloaded font for me, too. To get rid of it: Open up Font Book, got to All Fonts, do a select-all to garb all fonts, then go up to File > Validate Selection. Let that run, and then look for any fonts with red alert issues and delete those fonts.

Hi tomermialma,

 

You can try the following steps:

  • Press & hold the Option key. From the Finder menu bar, choose Go > Library > Preferences > Adobe > After Effects  and rename your After Effects version folder as your After Effects version.old (e.g. if you are using After Effects 2019, your After Effects version is 16.x.x).
  • Go to Documents > Adobe and rename your After Effects version folder as your After Effects version.old.

Here is how to know your After Effects version: https://community.adobe.com/t5/after-effects/faq-how-to-find-the-exact-version-of-after-effects-you-re-using/td-p/9972137

Let us know if it helps.

 

Thanks,

NKush

Try to delete the preferences file before opening AE. As soon as you launch AE hold Command+Alt+Shift so you will be prompted to delete your preferences file. Click OK and continue. Also, if you are using third party effects be sure you are using the correct version for your AE version

Then try to use the Adobe CC Cleaner Tool. Follow this link instructions to remove completely Adobe CC and reinstall again.
