Question

AE takes forever to open (loads fonts for 2 minutes every time)

Anyone else having this issue? Never happened with any previous versions of AE, but ever since updating, AE loads every font one by one. Takes a full 2-3 minutes to open the program.

Running off 1TB of 2 M.2 Solid State Drives in Raid 0...  Shouldn't AE be loading in an instant?

Any help would be appreciated

Hi friends.

I solve this problem by clicking few times on splash screen after i start AE.

Keep clicking untill splash register your clicking by freezing splash image.

After that AE should stop scaning for fonts and effects and start.

Hope this will help.

Regards.

Same for me (on win10), fonts load for ages. The last few updates gave me nothing but more worries! Stop releasing betas!

I had this happening as well, I did a reinstall and it helped, but now it's scanning all the fonts again. Did you find a solution?

Other Ae versions load fine? Try resetting your Ae preferences

Thanks for the response, no luck. I tried "Press Ctrl+Alt+Shift (Windows) " and deleted the preferences, but same issue.

Haven't had the issue in previous versions. In fact I was able to open and close an AE 2017 project while 2018 was still scanning the font drive

complete uninstall? if this does not work I would contact costumer service and get this solved by a live agent via remote desktop.
