After Effects crashes when opening project

Hey guys.
I was working on a project just fine until when I went to open it this morning. When I open it, AE crashes with either this message:
OR this message:
and finally ends with a message like this:
There are no special plugins being utilized in the project I am working in, only several Illustrator files. I'm not sure how dynamic link has anything to do with this because i'm not using it with Premiere Pro. All I know is that the project worked fine when I closed it last night, and now this is happening. It's a paid job as well, so it's very important that I can open it again.
I tried uninstalling and reinstalling CS6 and my video card drivers. Just to be clear, AE opens just fine, it's only opening this specific project that gives the crash.
Specs:
Windows 7 Ultimate (updated)
Core i7 3770k
GeForce GTX 570 1.2 gb
16 gb ram
256gb SSD
1TB media drive
Thanks guys. I hope you can help me out.

Not the Adobe team, but the errors are all listed here:
http://www.myleniumerrors.com
Doesn't do you much good, though. The errors themselves are too vague and generic. Other than that try the usual - flush the media and disk cache, open the proejct with capslock enabled, import it into an empty project. also offline your footage source by renaming/ moving the folder, then manually use File --> Replace. If it's a specific file, that way you can find out which one... And finally, in the future learn the fine art of making back-ups and using versioning:

After Effects crashes when opening

When I try to open After Effects I get a window with this message
error: Crash in progress. Last logged message was <368> <GPU Manager> <2> Sniffer Result Code:1
And then After Effects crashes without opening. It did open once yesterday but today it won't.

What EXACT version number (down to the last decimal) of AE are you using? What OS are you using? What are your system specs?
Also, if you have an AMD card, did you install CUDA drivers? If so, that's the problem. Read this: Avoid installing NVIDIA CUDA drivers on computers with AMD GPUs

Frequent crashing when opening projects

10.5.8, LP 9.0.2, Mac Pro 8-core 6GB RAM
Logic frequently stalls/crashes when opening projects. This happens most often with projects that have lots of sampler instruments (primarily VSL), but some of the time with no samplers at all. The loading window generally hangs on Vienna Instruments with projects that have them, and on Space Designer with projects that don't.
The project this happens most frequently with is an orchestral template I'm creating. It has about 25 instances of Vienna Instruments (totalling 1.34GB worth of samples), a few channel EQs and one instance of Space Designer. Other projects that have caused the crash include about 10 native software instrument plugins, 1 Akoustic Piano and 10-15 native effect plugins. I consulted VSL tech support who said the problem was most likely with Logic. I'm inclined to agree, since the problem happens with and without any Vienna Instruments, and Vienna Ensemble Standalone has no problem loading templates with a lot of samples.
Does anyone have any suggestions to troubleshoot? Has anyone had similar experiences? Thanks.

Well, this has happened to me too. To the point where I've lost all the work, because Logic can't open the original project or the "crashed" copy it creates. Happened again with a new project I'm working on, albeit on a much more modest laptop system.
Annoying. Makes me think about switching DAWs...what else can you do if Logic can't be trusted.

After Effects crashes when rendering to H264

Hi,
On one of my computers, After Effects Crashes when rendering to H264. It always chrashes when doing the last frame of a clip. I think its when muxxing the m4a and the m4v together...
Does anyone have a solution? maybe there is some odd codec trash going on?
Thanks in advance!

Report
In every version of AE that has been capable of exporting h.264 the quality has been significantly lower than exporting with an app that gives you the option of multi-pass rendering. This has always been true for MPEG codecs that use inter frame (temporal) compression. You just can't get the same quality without multi pass compression. This goes back to the first use of MPEG streams.
AE CS6 may have H.264 encoding broken internally, but any pro has never used AE to render highly compressed delivery codecs because AE was never designed to be the right tool for the job.

Ae crashing when opening project

Since of yesterday AE started crashing when opening a project which i worked on a few weeks ago.
We opened it on a PC, saved, with a new name. and it would open just fine. When reconnecting the files (AI-drawing) it crashed again. Renamed the drawing and replaced the originals with the new ones, layer by layer. Everything worked ok.
Just now, same thing, can't open any of the versions of the project. And it gives a warning saying that it crashed when opening windows. Do you want to open those windows again? Some versions of the project, i can open when clicking no. other crash anyway. What the heck is going on?
Others open fine, but this not. It involves some puppet tools scripts that i bought from aescripts...
I'm running a new Mac Pro, with the latest version of Mavericks, and latest version of AE.
tried to open with preview off, tried trashing the prefs etc. nothing seems to help.

Thanks, been trying hard to think what change could cause this, but can't.
Switched to another hardrive at some point, though. But no software updates.
Hid the ai-files, and opened up the project. Worked fine.
Replaced the ai-layers with an jpeg. Seems to work.
But, did the same thing a few days ago already. Opened up the project without the original ai-file.
Renamed the ai-file and replaced all the layers with the layers from the new one.
Worked well for a day or two, then started crashing again.

After Effects Crashes when using dynamically linked files

When I try to edit a dynamically linked after effects, After Effects crashes, which then crashes Premiere Pro. I have CS5.5 master. Is this a problem with the after effects file (only 8kb in size) or something wrong with After Effects. The files come up as being linked in Premiere Pro but when I open the After Effects file to do further editing, it just crashes.

You told us zero about your system and your project settings on bothe ends, so this is not going anywhere. Such crashes can have any number of reasons from running out of memory to graphics card issues but we truly cannot know.

After Effects Crashes when trying to replace footage

I recently got a new PC and the new computer has drive letters assigned to removeable drives that used to point to where my files were stored. When I try to replace the footage, After Effects crashes and does not give me any option to send a crash report. I updated to 10.0.1.19 and updated my video card driver (which fixed a problem with OpenGL not registering), but it did not solve my issue. I can include the crash details here:

ATI Radeon HD 5770 1024MB (latest driver installed)
1 TB Hard Drive
8GB DDR3 Memory
Any suggestions would be welcome.

Thanks for the insight. "Performance of the external drives" was pretty close, I think.
I believe it was due to the fact that when I created the project, the files were located on an external drive "F". My new system designated drive "F" as one of the built-in card reader slots. AE did not want to replace the source from the card reader unless 1) there was a card in the slot and 2) the original file (or one with the same name at least) was on the card. I wasn't about to go through all that heartache and discontent (I was missing about 30 files, and the 1GB card was nowhere close to big enough to hold the 9GB of data), so I used the Disk Management utility to reassign the drive letters. Luckily I have a couple of external drives - one to assign to the source "F" drive and another to be the new target "M". There was some creative shuffling that had to happen to get the connections right, but it made AE happy.

After Effects crash when calling ProjSuite5()- AEGP_OpenProjectFromPath

I'm running 12.2
I have code that opens a project.
The only time this code doesn't make after effects crash is in the ImportFile command method; however, I'm trying to run a server ontop of my plugin so I can control after effects remotely.

FCP 6.02 Crashing when opening Project

Hi,
Going bananas trying to work out why a project I have been working on for 6months now causes FCP to crash when opening. I can open other projects fine, but when I try and open a project with all media offline I get the same issue.
All drives are external and I have space on both local and external disks.
I have tried opening the project from the autosave vault - which should work - to no avail.
I have now reinstalled Final Cut Studio 2 with no change to the above.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
p

Thanks Shane,
I was running all the latest apps - Qt 7.3, FCP6.02 OSX 10.411, did all the updates etc.
By erasing FCP and compressor I was able to get the project to open, but exporting through compressor kept crashing - which was an original fault that started happening before the project crash issue.
Not wanting to waste any more time I did a complete erase and re-install of my computer, and after spending close to half a day doing it I think it's been worth it - though I'm going through the testing phase - although as it stands the project has been loading and compressor has been working properly (will test more though).
I was using a couple of plugins that I downloaded from Apple's website: FX plugins manager of sorts, and I was using a filmic filter from that set which I think may have been corrupting the whole project.
I will keep testing though...

Premiere pro crashes when opening project

Premiere pro project crashes when opening. I have an imac running OS 10.7.3 (8GB Ram, AMD Radeon HD 6970 2048mb) and have Premiere Pro 5.5.2. I have had 2 projects that I have worked on for hours and saved numerous times and then when I closed pp and tried to reopen the file the screen goes white and then crashes. Please help.

Ann, THANKS for replying!
If I open a brand new project, which I could do before, and then IMPORT a previous project, it works and I can edit and export the project. However, it did crash upon trying to save it and I still can not just open a previously created project. When I do I get an error message that Says: "Premiere has encountered an error and needs to close down. We will attempt to save your project."
Do you or anyone else have any ideas?

LabVIEW Crashes when Opening Project

Hey Guys,
I'm running into an interesting issue where LabVIEW crashes when opening a project. This is the second time I've run into this issue, on the same project. To get around it the first time I simply deleted and re-made my project, but since it's happened again, I need to figure out how to debug it. The symptom is that LabVIEW will crash when opening the project (sometimes I can see the "vi loading" screen) without any indication that crash has occured. It doesn't even launch the error reporter, the process just dies. Anyone know how I can go about debugging this?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

xkenneth86,
What version of LabVIEW? Have you ever had previous versions of LabVIEW on your computer? Can you attach a screenshot of the crash?

After Effects Crash when editing a Project on high end PC.

Good day i am trying to edit a project on after effects and it all opens just fine, but when i go to edit and move around in the timeline i get crash reports and the program either closes or just doesnt respond. I have a Alienware PC, with 32 GB ram and a 4GB video card. Shouldnt have any PC restraints.

Utilizing all the cores and all the memory is not what you are after. You have to leave resources for other processes and you have to make sure that your system has enough resources to do things like decode footage in the background and process the effects you are setting up in AE. Some video codecs do not respond well to MP rendering so you may have to turn that off or transcode your footage to something that works.
As Myenium said your question lacked the details necessary to even guess what is going wrong. The best option to troubleshoot your problem is to reset your preferences to the default settings then see if the project works. If it doesn't start exploring things like source footage formats for problems. Then start adjusting your memory and MP settings using the guidelines that Adobe has published for optimizing performance.

PE 8 crashes when opening project after loading Windows Live/Movie Maker

Have a new HP computer with Windows 7 and plenty of RAM/ROM. Loaded all the updates for Windows, PE 8.01, ATI, etc. but still crashed when I open a project. It worked fine for the first 2 weeks, then I loaded Windows Live/Movie Maker and now PE 8 is unhappy. Seems like lots of crashing issues but can't find this particular one. Reload PE 8? Remove Windows Live/Movie Maker? Thanks if you have some help.

The only thing I can think of is that Windows LIVE/Movie Maker is runnin
g like messenger and Office LIVE and that would be disturbing for
PE8... You can enter the pro
ccesses with ctrl-alt-del and kill the Movie Maker proccess manually (in the handler) in that case and you would not need to uninstall it but repeat killing the proccess every time for PE8.
Otherwise uninstalling LIVE Movie Maker should be fixing it if I take a guess, and I wonder doesn't you have Windows Movie Maker in the computer from start, why would you need/want Windows LIVE Movie Maker (at least my Vista has Movie Maker preinstalled)?

After Effects Alert when opening (Error: Mount Point list is empty)

I am so confused right now. I have searched everywhere for a solution to no avail. I have a brand new Mac Pro 2.7 Ghz 12-core intel Xeon e5 with 32 gigs of ram. I installed Reelsmart's Motion blur and when I tried to re-open After Effects I got an After Efects Alert that reads.
Last log message was: <140735179719440> <EAMountPoints> <0> Error: mount point list is empty
Generating crash log, which may take a few minutes.
Can anyone help please! I'm on a tight deadline and I'm grounded.
Thank you, thank you!!

What exact version of AE (down to the last decimal point)?
