2019 After Effects CC Keeps Crashing

As the title says after effects keep crashing. I could be doing something as menial as moving a text layer with no effects on it, to trying to save my project. It just crashes. I have to save after each adjustment or change I make in order not to lose my progress, but that also crashes the program pretty frequently. Today alone it's crashed 4 times in the last hour.

I'd love any help or advice on this issue.

Hi,

I have the same issue.

I was working successfully last week with After Effects CC 2019 (16.1.1).

However, I was tired of Bridge opening my PSD files with After Effects, so I reset Bridge (cmd + alt + shift when opening Bridge).

Since then, After Effects CC 2019 isn't working anymore; playback with the spacebar doesn't work, nothing appears in the Composition panel, and After Effects freezes when I try to close a project.

I restarted my MacBook Pro numerous times, I reset After Effects (cmd + alt + shift when opening), I uninstalled and reinstalled it, and it still doesn't work.

I even created a new user, installed AE 2019, and I got the same problems...

However, AE CC 2018 works fine.

But that's too bad for my CC 2019 work, though, as AE CC 2019 just doesn't work.

It was working fine last week!

>> UPDATE << 

A month ago, AE CC 2019 started to work again out of thin air.

Yay.

But today, it started freezing every time a composition uses some effects like Fast Box Blur, Noise, Displacement Map, etc.

However, some effects don't freeze 2019, like Tint, Bend it, etc.

No problem in 2018.

Please help!

Try that.

Open the NVIDIA Control Panel/ Manage 3D settings/ Program Settings/ Select after effects/ Make CUDA-GPUs- None

Have you tried updating your GPU driver? Also consider trashing your preferences: http://www.kevinmonahan.net/?p=134

    If you're ever in Anchorage, Alaska. I'll buy you a beer. Thank you. Not sure which of your suggestions did the trick (I suspect it was trashing the prefs,) but I'm back on track now. No crashes today so far.

    My after effects kept doing the same thing too! Whenever I added a spin or just a regular transition to my video clips, My AE crashes and closes out. Its been crashing more than 20 times these past 3 days. My video clips also glitch really bad. I wish I still had the 2018 version but I hope it's just a bug or something...
