No plugin, I have a feeling it's related to the puppet tool.
I can't continue my work and considering to finaly switch to another software, the past 2-3 years of unstability drives me nuts.

Correct answer nicolasm212845

I went to 25.4, the software start the launch and disapear, nothing happen.
Then went to 25.3, it now works.

So something is crashing everything with 25.5, it wasn't just one project, it's anything, just new make it crash.

I left After Effects open without doing anything, and it still crashed—same as yours.
I’ve already removed the plugin and reinstalled After Effects, but the issue persists.

Sorry to hear about the issue, MahesaMP.

 

Are there any crash reports or error messages? If you see the crash reporter after the crash, provide your email ID to it and submit. If there’s no crash reporter, share the crash log here so that we can investigate. Here’s how you can collect the log file:

  • Start AE
  • Help Menu > Enable Logging
  • Restart AE
  • Reproduce the crash and restart AE
  • Help Menu > Reveal Logging Files...
  • Find the "After Effects Log.txt" file and copy/paste the content back to this forum thread.

Looking forward to your response.

 

Thanks,

Nishu

Glad to hear that 25.3 works. Thanks for updating the thread.

If you wish to troubleshoot the 25.5 version - Are you working with templates? Are there any third-party plug-ins installed? Try running After Effects in Safe Mode with third-party plug-ins disabled.

Moving this thread from Bugs to Discussions for troubleshooting.


Thanks,

I do not get a "Submit Crash Report" dialog.

After those error dialogs appear, are you getting a "Submit Crash Report" dialog? If so, can you make sure you're submitting that, make sure your email address is in the dialog. We can look up the crash and see if we can identify what's going on for you.
