After Effects CC crashes on startup. 12.2

Everytime I open up After Effects CC it repeatedly crashes and I have uninstalled and installed this program twice already. I repeatedly get this error message...
After Effects warning: Could not rename the file '/Users/Haydo/Library/Preferences/Adobe/After Effects/12.2/Workspaces.1733.1407352684838561.xml' to 'Workspaces.xml'
after this it says it cannot open the program due to an unknown error. How can I resolve this?

  • Adobe After Effects CS4 Crashes During Startup

    Hey I have a major problem i think.. after I installed AAE CS4 I picked the trial to see how it was b4 i bought it. Once everything was installed and complete I restarted my computer but when I went to open the program it pulled the grey aae startup box. It had 4% complete and said Initializing Media Core then it just stops and minutes later crashes with not progress. It continually does it with no improvement. Anybody that can help me?

    I did all of the above:
    - 9.03 update
    -   1. Go go Control Panel -> System-> Advance System settings
         2. Click Advanced tab, Performance -> Setting
         3. Click Data Execution Prevention  -> Turn on DEP for all programs except those I select - > Here you click Browse and choose where your AE CS4 location is, and click Apply -> OK .
    - Run as administrator
    Nothing worked. I still get the crash at start-up with the message
    <960> <AppDirs> <5> Required Dir=   
    C:\ProgramFiles\Adobe\Adobe After Effects CS4\Support Files\Required.
    and after that sorry, AE can'r continue..
    Help me please, I have the 30 days trial and I desperately need to learn how this program works for a project. After that I want to buy it.
    My system is 32bit Vista Windows, I installed AE CS4 (that's the last one to run on 32bit right?) and did an update to 9.03.

  • After Effects CC crashes on startup- No error message

    Recently installed After Effects CC, It will show the splash screen as it loads and then displays the interface for about 2 seconds before crashing. Leaves no error message. I have uninstalled and used the CC Cleaner tool, then re-installed numerous times and still the issue.  Also tried logging out and then back into Adobe CC, changing Adobe ID password, and deleting the After Effects Preferences and issue persists.
    Using:
    Windows 7 Professional 64 Bit
    Intel Core i7-4930 3.4GHz
    32 GB RAM
    NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680 (Drivers Up to Date)
    Any help would be very appreciated, thank you very much.

    Hi Szalam & Mylenium,
    I had found both of those links and tried all of their suggestions prior to my original posting and none of those had helped. Thank you for the replies though. I DO however have it working now.
    I uninstalled all my Adobe Software, then deleted all the Adobe folders in various parts of the C: drive that remained even though all the Adobe Software was uninstalled. This took some time but once I cleared the computer of any trace I could find of anything Adobe I then re-downloaded and installed Creative Cloud and now everything appears to be working properly. So I could never identify the root of the problem but an extensive clean out and retry seemed to do the trick.

  • After Effects CS6 Crash On Startup

    I open a project or open the app by itself, the splash comes up, then it crashes with no error message. "After Effects closed unexpectedly."
    I uninstalled and reinstalled, but to no avail.
    MacBook Pro
    Mountain Lion
    Anyone know anything or experiencing similar problems?

    Yes, here you go:
    After Effects CS6 with the 11.0 update
    I am up-to-date.
    Mac OS X 10.8
    No error message from AE, just the default "After Effects quit unexpectedly."
    Happens every time I try to open the program, whether by opening a project or clicking the icon.
    Only Chrome was running when I tried, so I quit Chrome and the same thing happened. Also I restarted my computer.
    I've used AE a lot on 10.6, not yet on 10.8
    No third-party stuff.

  • After Effects CC Crash: On Startup

    Hi,
    I just started using After Effects CC and Premiere Pro CC Trial today to see if I would like to purchase it in the long run. Both of the applications crash after the splash screen, and right when the program workspace is seen.
    I don't run any beastly specs or anything:
    Windows 8.1
    Intel Core I3
    4 GB Ram
    Intel HD 4000
    And maybe its because of the measly specifications, but I'm not sure. Anything that could help would be excellent.
    By the way, I also caught this error message before After Effects shuts itself down.

    Hi,
    Sorry, that didn't work, but thanks.
    Still starting up and shutting down right away...

  • After Effects CS5 Crashes At Startup

    I have been looking all over for the solution to this problem, but nothing I have found has worked so far.
    I have taken out all of the plugins and tried.
    Uninstalled AE CS5 and downloaded a fresh copy
    Taken out all fonts
    Yet I still get an error message which states
    "Crash in progress. Last Logged message was: <6552> <AppDirs> <5> Required Dir = C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe After Effects CS5\Support Files\Required
    Does anyone know what the solution might be?
    Thanks

    I have now tried several different things, including going through the OpenGL troubleshooter on the adobe website.
    I uninstalled all the plugins, fonts, deleted AE files etc. I then opened a new user on my PC and it worked! But when I tried opening it for the second time it came up with the same error message.
    This happened straight after I installed all the Cycore FX plugin, so I repeated everything as before and opened a new user account. I didn't install anything and like before it opened up the first time, but the second time it crashed with the same message without me having changed or installed anything!
    So to summarise:
    A new user account in windows allows me to open AE once, the second time it crashes.
    Should I just leave AE open all the time? That seems to be the only thing that works!
    Regards,
    Peter

  • After Effects error:crash occurred while invoking effect plug-in"scripting"

       I made up a bat file with 8 commands like"  afterfx -m -r ...." .
       It will startup 8 AEs and render my work. But when I double the commands with starting 16 AEs,7-8 of them are carshed,says "crash occurred while invoking   effect plug-in"scripting" .
       And "After Effects error: Crash in progress. Last logged message was:<2312><ASL.ResourceUtils.GetLanguageIDFromRegistry><0>Unable to obtain the User 'Language' registry key at: Software\Adobe\After Effects\10.0\Defaulting to 'en_US'."
       I am confused for a few days. Need help here.
    Warm regards 

    Good question, but I would suspect that the previous instances simply never correctly unload and/or parts of the auxiliary services like dynamiclinkmanager or qt32server remain active/ loaded, ultimately causing a conflicht or simpyl chewing up all your memory...

  • After Effects error: crash occurred while invoking effect plug-in "Looks" URGENT!

    My name is Tyler and i'm a Mult-Media Editor in training. Just recently meaning just this project i've been getting this error "After Effects error: crash occurred while invoking effect plug-in “Looks”." every time i try to render. If i try to remove the clip where it messes up and replace it with another it will just mess up in another spot.
    Screen Shot Here:http://gyazo.com/794429fd1091973c8a296a27d2af6fab.png

    I've read other forums and watched tutorials. I've already done the following. (Not in order used)
    1. Downgrade Magic Bullet Looks from 1.4.3 to 1.4.2 (Didn't Work)
    2. Upgrade Magic Bullet Looks to MBL 2.0 from Magic Bullet Suite 11 (Didn't Work)
    3. Uninstall my gfx card and re-install it with the newer version (Didn't Work)
    4. Reset AE preferences by pressing alt+shift+ctrl on the shortcut (Didn't Work)
    5. Change render settings from H.264 -> .AVI (Didn't Work)
    6. I've deleted "AE_OpenGL" from my After Effects folder (Didn't Work)

    I've never had this problem before and hope that someone has a solution to this problem... if so please post an answer. I don't know if its because i put the plug in on all of my clips and then made an adjustment layer with another Magic Bullet Looks or if it's my clips fault but i just dont know what to do.
    -Tyler

    It sounds like Looks is only crashing on this project. If that is so then it's most likely a problem with one of your video clips. Either there's a corrupted frame or some other codec glitch that's throwing the errors. I'd suggest replacing footage items with temporary footage. You could even use solids. Replace one at a time, then undo, until you find the footage that's causing the crash. Then either re-compress that footage to another codec or replace it.
    If Looks is crashing on every type of footage then you need to pursue other options that are more system related.

  • After effects has crashed see error repor 1.   :41

    hi okay on one of my computers i go to open after effects and it says after effects has crashed please see error report error 1 then later :41 then i go to uninstal it and it loads and stops it wont uninstal. please help.

    how you doing guys, i hope you have solved your problem,if not this is how i solve it most of the time...
    we all like fonts... alot.. sometimes we like it so much that we install every font we find kool, but after effects has a little bit of problem
    caching most of those kool fonts ( i have 3,037 ).
    what i did was booting my pc using HIREN'S BOOT CD in mini windows xp, download or if you have a backup of the basic xp fonts ( like me )
    go to your windows folder in c: and cut and move the font folder to other drive and replace it with the basic one, reboot and voila! it worked
    hope it helps. ;-)
