After Effects CC 2018 crashes every time on opening
I'm on an iMac i7 with 32GB of RAM and more than enough hard drive space on my SSD. I'm on Mac OS Sierra (10.12.6). And ever since I updated this morning, AE CC 2018 crashes as soon as I open any new file. I did a clean uninstall of the previous AE CC 2017, I even deleted preferences. Then I installed AE CC 2018, and now I can never get past this screen:
