AE 2018 crashes on project open (Zanzibar Hunter)

[Felix Mack]

I've been getting this error a lot lately. I will open up a project and it will crash AE entirely. This has happened with several projects lately. When I open a new project and then import the crashed project, it seems fine and everything works. It's a work around, but it ends up with several layers of nested imported projects.

Any idea what could be causing this?

Here is the error:

Last log message was: <140736185545536> <ZANZIBAR Hunter> <5> ProcessFrom MAIN requested_sync: 292, proj=1

.

Generating crash log, which may take a few minutes.

Specs:

AE 12.0.1 Build 73

OSX 10.13.3

Imac 2017 4.2GHz i7, 40GB Ram

thanks

Hello,

My suggestion would be to clear the local cache.

Preferences > Media & Disk Cache > Empty Disk Cache

I think the "Zanzibar error" is related to mocha shape masks. As far as I know it has been fixed in the latest CC2018 Update (After Effects 15.0.1). Have you checked that you have the latest version installed?

I have thé same error on cc2019

I don't have any mocha stuff in these projects at all. I tried emptying the disc cache, but the projects still crash and give the error. Again, importing these projects into a new project seems to be ok. Just kind of a hassle to constantly nest projects in new ones....

Me too

I figured it out. It's the Suitcase Fusion plug-in. I uninstalled that and projects that previously crashed now work again. . .

Strangely it doesn't do it to every project. I will let the font software people know. Guess it is not AE issue,
