AEP files Keep Crashing

[BenSCR]

Everytime I open an After Effects file, no matter how small, its keeps crashing.

I'm running a MacBook Pro 2019 with macOS Calalina 10.15.3 with 16GB memory.

Hi there,

Thanks for reaching out.

What is the exact version of After Effects are you using? https://community.adobe.com/t5/after-effects/faq-how-to-find-the-exact-version-of-after-effects-you-...

Are you able to create a new file from scratch, save it and open it again? Also, do you see any error message?

Let us know, we're here to help.

Thanks,

I'm able to open a new file from scratch and open it again. I don't get any error messages.

Thanks for the response.

In which version of After Effects these project files were created? Was there any third-party plug-in used in the project files? Try creating a new project then import your files by navigating to File > Import > File.

Looking forward to your response.

Thanks,

Nishu

I used only the first and orginal version of the project file. 

I then and used a third-party plug-in by 'aescipts' called "Effect Matte".

Is it happening only with the files using third-party plug-ins?
