Hi all, I have been experiencing an issue with Adobe After Effects for around 1-2 months now regarding DynamicLink. This appeared ever since updating to either 22.2 or 22.3. Upon startup of the application, I am greeted with an error that has rendered me unable to use After Effects entirely.
The Error:
This has left me stumped for quite a while. I have tried utilising the Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool as well as manually removing all the Adobe files from my system in an attempt to do a fresh install. To no success or change.
Any help or information on this error would be appreciated.

Hi Kai,
Welcome to the community and sorry for the crash.
Does it show any crash report or generate any crash log? Try removing third-party plug-ins. Go to HD/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Common/Plugins/7.0/MediaCore and remove all the files and folders temporarily (except dummy.txt).
Let us know how it goes.
Thanks,

Hi Nishu,
Thank you for the quick response. Removing my plugins solved the issue.
I had installed a plugin for Blackmagic Raw files to be supported and editable through both Premiere Pro & After Effects.
Never thought about updating the plugin, so that's very well what caused the issue to arise.
I will try installing a newer version of the plugin, and let you know if the issue comes back.
I have also attached the crash report below in case you're interested.
Many Thanks,
Kai

Hi Nishu,
I have been experiencing the same issue after updating to Monterey 12.4, with some changes because for me opening recent projects works but it doesn't work with old ones (by dynamic link or even live). I tried to re-install AE, i tried to delete plugins as explained above, but it still doesn't work... Please help me !
I even tried to search a meaning to contact assistance by phone, but i didn't succeed.
Many thanks if you can help,
Vickie
