It seems like the issue is when it has any media missing at all. So, just a few missing assets can bog down the file open. In a fast paced network environment it's a giant problem. We can't get files open fast enough to address the asks. I do wish there was a way to have it skip looking which is what I'm assuming it's trying to do. Our projects routinely reference media that has been archived or the servers or folders have changed so you can imagine the difficulty this is causing. Glad to hear I'm not the only one who has seen it.Â
Just a thought: Â You could try to move all your linked footage, or rename the containing folder/directory, and have the project open with missing media, and then relink it after the project is open.
Then, I’d suggest immediately Saving As..., in case the project is corrupted.
You could also try importing the slow Project into a new Project.
I brought a bunch of projects to a live show and had the same problem. Any project that needed to have footage relinked would take 15 - 30 minutes to open. It would have been better if you could force AE to load a project without linking anything and then relink manually. It's a serious problem. We are having persistent issues opening projects that have missing footage. It seems to have popped up for us with CC2019 on Windows. If I try to open a project, especially one from an earlier AE version, and it has any missing footage, it takes an eternity to open. Sometimes over an hour. These are not projects that should take more than a few seconds to open. It behaves better when we try it on our one iMac here. Has anyone found this issue as well or found a way to fix it? It's a severe hindrance to say the least.
Thanks Byron
