Question

AE crashing while it launches

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

Installed Version 25.4.0 (Build 86) and it came up in safemode so there is something wrong with Version 25.5 and with my Mac which hasnt changed besides Tahoe 26.0.1 but an older version of AE works with it.

That's strange! I am on the same macOS version, and I can use the latest version of After Effects without any issues. Can you check if the beta version of After Effects works? Here's how you can install it: https://adobe.ly/42Mys7G
