Hi,
I'm in real trouble here... I'm working on a project on After Effects for several months now.
Everything was find until today : After Effects won't open the .aep file. No message. It just don't !
I send the .aep (without medias) to a friend and he can open it ! We have the same 16.1.3 After Effects version.
Help please !!! I really need to finish this job !!!
I mean to try version 15 too.
Also, try removing all third-party extensions, scripts, and plugins.

Doable check the file size of AEP project - maybe it got corrupted on disk? If so, there's nothing anyone can do about it, unless you have a backup version of your project.
Also, can you open any other project? Or AE is only unhappy with this one in question?
EDIT - can you try importing your project into a fresh new project? Or maybe your friend can save the project as a new version and send it to you back? Maybe that would help.

Thank's for your answer Tomas...
This project is the backup project... This is the only one with this problem.
I aske my friend to save the project and send it back. After Effects won't open it as well...

Can you import the problematic file into a new file?
Can your friend save the file with a new name and you open that?
Have you rebooted your computer?
Also, just as a workflow note, you should definitely not be working out of the same file for months. Use the save incremental feature! I usually save incrementally after making big changes and at least once a day.

Sorry, these new forums are being weird.
If your friend can open it, but you can't...something is weird on your system. Have you tried rebooting? Have you tried reinstalling?

Hi Szalam! I tried reboot and reinstalling After Effects...no success !
i have lots of versions of this prokect but I can only open older versions of the project (about 15 days ago) but no one since.
I tried resetting preferences with Alt on launchinf AE... No success...

So, your friend can open the project and everything looks fine, but when he sends it to you, you can't open it at all? Have you triend opening it in an older version of AE?
