Thanks for sharing the file. I was able to import it without any errors.

Could you try changing the location of the PSD file? Try importing it from desktop. If that doesn't work, try resetting the preferences of After Effects. Here's how: https://community.adobe.com/t5/after-effects-discussions/faq-how-to-reset-trash-preferences-in-after-effects/td-p/10634342

Let us know the outcome.

 

Thanks,

Without more specific info about your system and your files this is not of much use, I'm afraid. You need to provide more details.

Hi ahmadrashed,

 

As Mylenium mentioned, we'd need more information to troubleshoot the issue properly.

  • What are your system specifications (CPU, GPU, RAM, OS version)?
  • Does it happen with a particular PSD file or any of them?
  • Do you see any error messages?

Moving this post from Bugs to Discussions for troubleshooting.

We're here to help, just need more info.

 

Thanks,

Nishu

This was happening to me on Aug 19, 2024.

Had to reset my preferences and now I can import PSD files again.

Not sure what the problem was, but was very annoying

What's the version of Photoshop are you using? Are you creating CMYK files in Photoshop? Is there any font being used in the PSD file?

Let us know.

 

Thanks,

Thanks for the details. Do you mind sharing one of the files that repeats the issue?

I wasn't able to reproduce it at my end. Feel free to DM me the download link if you're don't wanna share it publically.

 

Thanks,

I tried to delete AEGP folder from Plug-ins folder and the psd file imported successfully.

There is some conflict between autodesk plugin and aftereffects.
