Crashing while importing Photoshop files as Comps

Community Beginner ,
Feb 03, 2022 Feb 03, 2022

I am having a problem where everytime I try to importat a Photoshop file as a Comp, it crashes.  I am import the same files as footage and they import fine.  It happens every time with all verisons of AE 22, up to 22.1.1.  The project it creates as a result of the crash as the comp created form the PS file, but nothing in it.   I have attached the crash warning.  anyone else seen this or found a solution?  My workaround it to importat each layer individually as footage.

 

 

Thanks,

Scott

The fix is simple. Change the 3D Renderer from Cinema 4d to Classic Dd in composition settings

All the layer settings are desabled in cinema4d renderer. Thats why its crashing.

Good lord! The answer was so simple. I checked my comp 3d settings and they were in classic 3d. I changed it to cinema and change it back, problem solved. 

 

Thanks so much!

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.

It could be the faulty file. Do you mind sharing it so that I can test on my end? Feel free to DM me the file if you prefer not to share it publicly.


Thanks,
Nishu
