After Effects project not opening

[kmitsurii]

I've been having a problem with my After Effects 2020, It'll not open my edit after trying multiple times. Everytime I opened it, a blank pop up saying "Open project" and close out my After Effects. Any help on solving this?

Hi kmitsurii,

Sorry for your issue.

Did you use any third-party plug-ins? Are you able to open After Effects and create a new project? If so, what happens if you import your existing project into a new project?

Let us know, we're here to help.

Thanks,

Nishu

Yes I do use third-party plugins for my edit. I am able to open After Effects just fine and make a new project, but when I import it, It doesnt respond and closes out my After Effects program.

As suggested by Mylenium, try updating the driver and installing the windows updates. Outdated drivers are one of the most common reasons for After Effects not launch properly. https://community.adobe.com/t5/after-effects-discussions/after-effects-project-not-opening/td-p/1282...

This didn't work either, but thank you for helping.

I happened to fix this, one of my plugins weren't working so I had to uninstall it, and thankfully my project opened up!
