AE stuck at Initializing Required Components - Mac

Report · May 25, 2022

Hi~

Hope you are having a nice day.

When trying to open my Adobe After Effects it gets stuck at "Initializing Required Components" and can’t be opened anymore. In the Library I tried to remove related After Effects files in Preferences, Logs, Caches, Application Support, Containers and re-installed about four times, as well as trying a previous AE version but it still has the same issue.

Adobe After Effects version 22.4

macOS Monterey version 12.3.1 – Apple M1 Pro

I really thank you in advance and wish you a nice day.

Bests,
Vidal

Hey Vidal,

Have you tried deleting your preferences and media cache manually? Also try disabling all fonts and see if that works.

Please refer to the following thread:
