All the other applications updated just fine. This is what I get when I try to open AE.

I've uninstalled/restarted/reinstalled and still has the same problem. Can't seem to find an answer anywhere. Please help?

Hi JohnnyZ,

Please try these steps:

Close all of the Adobe processes from the Task Manager/Activity Monitor and go to the following locations:

MAC

Location 1: When in Finder, click on Go > Go to Folder > ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe

Location 2: Go > Go to Folder > ~/Library/Preferences/Adobe

Location 3: Documents > Adobe

WIN

Location 1: C:\Users\<Username>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe

Location 2: C:\Users\<Username>\Documents\Adobe

In all the locations, rename the 'Adobe' folders to 'OldAdobe'

Launch Prem

Same problem! Replacing Adobe with 'OldAdobe' isn't working!

I have the same problem, and renaming the Adobe folders doesn't work. I tried changing the amtlib.dll file from Premiere like I read here, but it doesn't work either. I need a solution fast since I need to work. Thank you.

Hi Virgina,

Sorry for this issue. Have you tried running the Adobe Cleaner and reinstalling the software?

Thanks,

Hi Kevin, yes I tried running the Adobe Cleaner and reinstalling the

software and it's still happening the same again and again.

I tried going back to the previous version but the option on the Creative

Cloud doesn't show up for me, and I have an unfinished project that I

started on CC 2017 v14.0.1 that I can't open on the 2015 version either.

I'd appreciate a fast solution or an update fixing this issue, please.

Thank you.

If you need it in a hurry, you may need to install a previous version.

The previous versions aren't where you think they are. See this page: How to Find and Install Previous Version of Adobe Apps

It has arrived!

This bug should be fixed in the update that released today. See Tim's post about it here. The After Effects CC 2017 update to version 14.2 is rolling out worldwide. It may take a day or so to show up for you depending on where you live. You also may need to log out and back in to your CC app or other funky things to get it to show up.
