I'm using AE 2024 on Windows, and this bug has affected two of my files. I've tried changing the video rendering and effects, clearing the cache, and using hardware acceleration. I have also redownloaded everything and tested whether it was my plugins, yet it still happens. I am unable to go to another file because it crashes. I also am not able to close it regularly since it gives me a white screen.

Is it happening specifically with 2 projects? Does it work fine with others or a new project? What are your system specifications (CPU, GPU, RAM, OS version)? If you've Intel integrated GPU with a dedicated GPU, try the following steps.

• Close After Effects
• Go to the Device Manager (Run >> devmgmt.msc)
• Select Display Adapter, Right click on the "Intel UHD graphic card".
• Select "Update Driver"
• Select "Browse my Computer"
• Select "Let me Pick from a list of available drivers on my Computer".
• Select "Microsoft Display Adapter".
•  Launch After Effects.

Let us know how it goes.


Thanks,

Have you tried updating or rolling back your graphic card drivers?
