Not sure if it totally works, as I can't simulate an AE Hang-up...

but if you open task manager.. make sure you have the column for PID and Command Line available (view>select columns)

Then in your processes tab, look for the one that has the Command Line column entry of C:\Program Files\xxx\xxx\xxx\AfterFX.exe...   It'll be the only one that looks like that.. all of the other AfterFX.exe processes say "-m -headlessonly -selflink xxx"

remember the PID from that one..

Then go to the start menu, type CMD and press enter.. that'll open the command prompt.

Then type this

taskkill /PID xxxxxx

xxxxxx= your PID number.



Doing this without having a hangup will cause AE to think you are quitting and ask you to save your project if it isn't saved... Not sure how it will respond if AE is in a frozen / hung-up state. but it's worth a try if it happens..

I wonder if there is a PC equivalent?
