Hi there,

 

Thanks for reaching out. Could you try resetting the preference manually? Follow the steps below:

  • Press Window+R to open the Run command box and type "appdata".
  • Go to Roaming > Adobe > After Effects and rename the 17.0 to old17.0.
  • Go to Documents > Adobe and rename After Effects 2020 to oldAfter Effects 2020.

It will reset the settings to default.

Let us know if it helps.

 

Thanks,

Nishu

This sounds suspiciously like you have opened the Render Only app instead of the normal after effects program file. Make sure you are running the right app.

Nothing works 😞

I have reinstalled AE 2020, AE 2019 and AE 2018 and the same thing always happens.


Every time I run Adobe After Effects, it opens as if I were running Adobe After Effects Render Engine.

 

I tried to run the file AfterFX.exe directly from C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe After Effects 2020\Support Files , but it didn't work either


Any ideas or solutions?

This worked for me. I deleted the file and everything went back to normal.
