Hi,

 

Sorry that you are experiencing a crash. You can try to trash your preferences to see if it fixes the issue, but please note that After Effects 2020 was not designed for Sonoma, and changes in the OS might break it.

Hope this helps,

Seb

I am having the same issue with AE 2023 and 2024. The application hangs on launch - even in safe mode and presents me with the crash report form. I'm running Sonoma on an M2 Max

Same issue on launch - or lack of, with Premiere. Premier ran a diagnostic and no issues were found.

Is there any solution? I updated my Mac to Sonoma and encountering the same problem with After Effects. I cannot open any project anymore and it shows always the Crash-Report.
