AfterFX.exe - system error

[chloeb57293069]

Since having re-downloaded After Effects I have been having extreme difficulty opening the application. Whenever I open it the same message appears “AfterFX.exe – System Error” which then goes on to read “The program can’t start because opencv_world341.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix the problem”. Since then I have tried; reinstalling After Effects, installing opencv_world341.dll (which appears to be non-existent), downloading “Hetman Partition Recovery” in an attempt to locate the deleted file and even completed a system restore on my laptop etc. (none of which proved successful).

Ok, and what should I do, now that I've downloaded it?

Hi chloeb,

Sorry for the issue. I understand After Effects crashes whenever you try to launch it. I appreciate that you tried to fix the issue yourself before looking for help.

• Have you tried the suggestion shared by ToolfarmJP ?
• Here is another suggestion, please create a new user account with administrator privileges and try to launch the application there. Refer: https://support.microsoft.com/en-in/help/4026923/windows-10-create-a-local-user-or-administrator-acc...

Let me know if it works. It will make us understand the issue better.

Thanks,

Shivangi
