What version of the MacOS do you have? You may need to update AE to 11.0.4

Well, the only thing that a I have to say you is: upgrade Ae. The question is, why have not you done it already? Just as a trick question, is it a cracked version?

CS6 is the last version someone could outright purchase. It could be that our poster purchased it and doesn't want to get into the subscription software. I wouldn't assume piracy immediately.

You're right. In that case, the option would be to downgrade the operating system.

Hi! So this is one of the problems of running legacy software. Older software needs equally old OS to run optimally and eventually to run at all. Presumably, you have updated your OS past what works with CS6. Most people started having issues ~10.11 but it really varies from system to system.

Seems like you have to upgrade AE or downgrade macOS...
