Question

Crash occurred while invoking plug-in "AE-XD Integration".

Hi.

I get the following error each time I try to save, or AE tries to auto-save my project.

It happens after I have imported stuff from Adobe XD using the Import -> After Effects function in XD and then saves the AE file.

After Effects error: crash occurred while invoking plug-in "AE-XD Integration".

Is there a fix for this issue?

I'm running Xd: 14.0.42.14 and AE: 16.0.1

[FIXED]
Go to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Common\Plug-ins\7.0\MediaCore\Public and delete AEXD folder in there.

This stopped the error occuring, but did the after effects project still doesnt open. After effects opens, but there is only an empty project.

I've faced the same issue. I've created a simple dummy XD a file without any effects, just text and some shapes and background layer and it is working fine. After Effect is not able to handle heavy XD effects stuff. It is a complete waste of time.

Adobe need to upgrade after effect so that it handle XD effect.

Hi all,

I can see from our bug database that the issue should not occur with the following versions of After Effects and Adobe XD:
After Effects: 16.1.2

Adobe XD: 19.0.21 or higher

Let us know if it still doesn't work on these versions.

Hi folks,

Would you mind updating to After Effects (16.1) and let us know if you still face this problem?

Thanks,

Rameez

I've had the same issue.

Basically if you have a clean after effects project with nothing in it, it works fine. If you have anything in the After Effects project prior to exporting from XD it will crash on save.

Work around seems to be create an AE project for your exports from XD, then import that AE project into your main AE project.

I just got done dealing with this issue as well. A way I made it work was to create a new file, import all the new Xd assets/comps and save as....Then re-open the file that was giving you trouble. Go to File>Import>File and choose that newly created AE file with your Xd comps in it. You should be able to save the original file at that point and keep working.

Definitely not an ideal solution, but a decent work around for the time being. Hope it works!
