If you can open the project but you cannot see the composition window then go to your workspaces and pick reset workspace. You should see workspaces at the top right corner of AE.

If you still cannot see your composition then find the composition in the Project Panel and double click it.

If you cannot find your AE project on your hard drive then searh for recent files or files with the extension .aep

If you did not save your project then all is lost.

Help me please. I accidentally hit close on the composition panel. After that I accidentally hit save. I've spend over 83 hours working on this project. This project is very important to me. This happened on Adobe After Effects. HELP! Please.

What?  Huh?

You closed the comp.  You saved the project.  So open the project, and double-click on the comp in the project pane!

If you don't know how to do that, you really, Really, REALLY need to spend a lot of quality time here:

Dude, imagine acting like we are stupid because we don't know how to do something in after effects when it could be something really simple. Legit, we have to learn it first to know how to do it. It's not like you just automatically know how to do anything, you have to learn it first. Jeezz
