After effects is not working with Monterey OS

[Malanche]

After install the new OS Monterey the app is not working. 

Be careful friends. i spend all night trying delete every single scrpit that makes the crash and still not working.

[Mossy79]

I also have the same problem. AE was working fine till upgrading to Monterey and now AE keeps crashing on start up.

So I had issues with AE Crashing on start up and I tried the solutions provided with moving the plug in folder but my AE Juice folder couldnt be found. I updated to the latest version of AE Juice and it fixed the crashign issue for my AE! 

Hope this helps someone as well!

Hi Malanche & Mossy79,

Sorry for the crash. Please share the the following details:

• What's the exact version of After Effects you're using: https://community.adobe.com/t5/after-effects-discussions/faq-how-to-find-the-exact-version-of-after-... 
• Does it show any crash report?
• Does it crash at launch? If so, what's the last loading module on the splash screen?

Let us know, we're here to help.

Thanks,

Nishu

Hi Nishu,

I am currently using version 22.0

This is now the error I recieve 

Previously I recieved the scripts error. But that has been replaced after I deleted the preference settings,

It does generate a crash report.

The last module loading is "Initializing Media Core"

Thanks.

Hi Nishu,

I was able to solve this problem. It seems to have been caused by a plugin.

Thank you.

Hi Nishu, can you give a short feedback.
is adobe looking for the solution? we have deadlines

[nishu_kush · Accepted solution]

Did you try Mossy79's solution?

If you're wondering how you can delete the plug-ins, some of the plug-ins (not all) are stored in HD/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Common/Plugins/7.0/MediaCore

Move all the files and folders to the desktop (except dummy.txt) and see if that helps.

Let us know.

Thanks,

Nishu

Hi Nishu,

thank you! that was very helpful!
Moved plugin "AEJuice" and AE works again.
Have a nice day!

[Bad Mosquito Films]

Removing AEJuice worked for me too. Thanks

[Aullido182]

[Sihab Himu]

[musabinho]

worked for me too, thanks bro 🙏

[Stéphane Belloir]

Hi Nishu, Thank you for your answer! Very appreciated and very helpful!

I don't know how to find the plug-in. I've tried googling how to find the path to the plug-in and I've tried finding HD/Library/Application Support/Adobe/ and everything you mentioned but I have no idea how to find any of that. I'm not as tech savvy as everyone else here and I would appreciate it if you could dumb it down for me?

I'm a video editor and I don't know what to do with After Effects not working. It crashes upon start up just like everyone else. I can't use another version because I use specific plug-ins that are not compatible with any other versions. I've tried youtubing and googling how to do it and I've come up with nothing short of downgrading. Can anyone help me?

Hi.

As you can see, I don't have the Plugins folder under Common. I have already installed AE 2020, 2021, 2022 and the problem remains. Unfortunately I didn't save it on the time machine either so I could go back to Big Sur. I'm desperate because it's my job and I don't know what else to do.

Thanks a lot, Nishu, you saved our deadline!! Deleting plugins was the solution. In our case the error obviously was caused by insta360 degree camera plugins.

[BukhariTorro]

This works for me. Having this problem after installing Cinema Grade. Thanks!

[hazelsabbun]
