AE crashing while it launches

Question

Trying to Launch AE after install to Tahoe. All of my other applications work. Upon launch I get a message about possible corrupted plug-ins and if I want to start in Safe Mode. I cannot even select safe mode as it just spins so I force stop the application. I uninstalled and re-installed, same problem.

Sorry to hear about the crash, Kesha.

Try this: go to HD/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Common/Plugins/7.0/MediaCore and remove (or move to a different location to keep a backup) all the files and folders except dummy.txt and try to launch After Effects. Everything (except dummy.txt) in this folder is part of a third-party plug-in. If removing the files and folders helps, then it's one or more of your third-party plug-ins that are causing the issue.

Note: macOS has two different libraries. System Library and User Library. You need to go to the System Library to access this location.

Let me know how it goes.

Thanks,
Nishu
