My AE project opens empty untitled project in the 2020 version but normal in 2019

[Mohamed Erfan]

Very weird bug,

I have a project opens normally on AE 2019 but whenever I try to open it in the 2020 version, it opens blank project with no footage or any import, just empty.. with no errors or anything shown

Do anyone have the same issue?

What I tried so far:
1. re-install all plug ins and scripts/extensions
2. Clean uninstall of all the creative cloud apps using the Creative cloud cleaner tool
3. I tried to open the same project in another machine have AE 2020 and it opened normally with no issues

So I guess the problem is in my AE 2020 version on my machine

Without any info about the contents of the project and the specifics of your computer nobody can tell you much.

Hi @mohamede5006717,

Thanks for reaching out. I understand that the project file is not opening correctly in After Effects 2020 version.

As Mylenium suggested, we would need more information about the content in your project and your system specifications. Have you used any plugins in the project? Also, what happens if you remove the plugins and then try to open the project?

Let us know. We're here to help.

Thanks,

Nishu
