In seemingly random comps AE will crash and sometimes it'll give me the error telling me it crashed invoking the curves plugin. I'm usually applying multiple adjustment layers with different effects like Finesse, Curves, Unsharp Mask, etc. when this happens. Sometimes I can bypass this by rendering out the footage with only one of the adjustment layers turned on then re-importing that. Then turning on another adjustment layer, rendering out, re-importing, etc. until I have all of my adjustment layers active. The footage is AVCHD, but it also crashes with ProRes footage.
I'm on CS6 (fully updated) on a MacBook Pro: i7 2.7GHz, 16GB RAM, Nvidia GeForce GT 650m, SSD.
Thoughts?
