Whenever i add a text layer to my after effects comp its fine but if i try and animate the text ( add s_blurmocurves ect...) this then causes after effects to crash/ fail to render my project at the point where the text is. If anyone knows how i might be able to fix this problem any help would be much appreicated 🙂

Which version of AE are you using?

This may be related to a (A) font issue or one of AE's many (B) Preferences Files. For (A) try substituting with another font. If A does not work, on more than 2 fonts substitutions, then try trashing AE's Prefs Files.

Thanks for your prompt reply. In my earlier reply, I mentioned trashing AE's Preferences files. If you have not done this, please try this - in the Character Panel (hamburger), click on the Menu and select Reset Character. Restart AE if this alone does not sort out your issue. 

If restarting AE does not solve your issue, then as a last resort, Trash AE's Preferences, upon restarting AE. Let us have an update on your exploits.
