I've applied @Mike Wills Makes 's fix, by deleting all “com.Adobe.After Effects.23x-24.plist(s)” files, and After Effects seemed to load the preview again. I'll update when anything changes ... View more

I'm sad to report that, after working for a full week, the error re-appeared.   Launching in with command + option + shift get's me into After effects, but no preview will load and it crashes on exit. (Purging didn't help either) ... View more

I've no 3rd party plugins installed, but I do use Battleaxe's Anubis often?   I've contacted Adobe Support and they uninstalled Ae using the Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool and reinstalling.   This made the freshly installed Ae appear to have no "Write to disk"-permissions (which the previous version had) in the system preferences. After enabling writing permissions it seems to be running again. I hope this will fix it for the foreseeable future.   Strange that it appeared to have the disk permissions ánd read/write permissions before? ... View more

Thanks for all the effort jenkmeister!   I've done all the aformentioned fixes. Although it appears to help at first, the error reoccurs after a couple of uses.    It seems to appear more often then not, when opening Ae after I've rendered the previous time? ... View more

Thanks for the link! Although it seemed to work (deleting the folders and reinstalling Ae), after 2 days the error re-occured. ... View more

Same issue, tried every workaround; still appears. I'll let you know if I manage to find a solution. ... View more

Second this. It makes the code look unorganized, especially when using multiple lines of code. ... View more

I'm still working the kinks out, so bare with me.   The idea is to duplicate the original text, and hide it (link the sourceText of both layers). Then apply a scale animator, with the range selector's "Units" on "Index" and "Based On" on "Words". Try and find the selected word with range selector (there's an expression method for this, I've to still figure this out). Calculate the sourcerectAtTime of this hidden layer and you should end up with the size of the word in range. ... View more
