AE 2020 crashes while saving the project

[#1]

After the 2020 update, a (reasonably simple) project now has an issue where every time I adjust ANY keyframes or timing of clips and then attempt to save, AE will get stuck on "Saving 0%" before not responding and forcing me to force quit. I have tried purging all memory and disk cache, as well as copying all attributes into a brand new project but the issue remains. Anyone else had similar problems with a fix? Because right not AE is basically useless as I can't save any work.

There have clearly been a lot of issues with the recent update. We here would all love to help and fix any bugs you find, but you have to provide us with more information, such as your OS, version of AE, hardware specs, screenshots, and anything else. It's very hard for us to solve a problem without any information!

Hi there,

We're sorry to hear that. Ideally, saving the project should not make any application crash. In addition to the information asked by @Nathan_Lovell_52 above, I'd like to know more details:

• Does the application crash while saving to any particular location?
• Have you tested multiple projects?
• What happens when you choose File > Save As instead of File > Save? (just for troubleshooting)

Looking forward to a response.

Thanks,

Shivangi

It is happening the same thing with me if I save a project for the first time, or try to import a file,

AE crashes on me and I can't work anymore, for weeks !! tried everything, but submitting a ticket, already.

Did you ever get this fixed? I'm having the same issue.

I'm having the exact same issue. Hit save and it freezes on "Saving project... 0% complete" 

Running Windows 10 Version 10.0.18362 

Abode AE 2020

Note: Sometimes the save goes through, but a lot of times it crashes the program

Same! I'm going nuts - for a week and a half I cant work on and save any files without this box appearing, forcing me to quit. I have reinstalled and cleared cache, saving in different locations - bothing is working - help!

[#10]

Same problem here! Ae start to save automatically (not auto save activated) and stuck on 0%

it creates a file double as shown in the screenshot

Please help!
