Re: Corrupt Invig Pro file?

Hi Jim,

Sorry to hear about that you got a corrupted file error message. I have not heard about an issue dealing with the Autosave, but I will take a look and see what is causing the issue.

There are a couple things you can try that could help you out in your situation with the corrupted projects. It is possible that it is 3D Invigorator, the 3D Invigorator preferences, or the material swatches that have gotten corrupted.

Below are the steps you can try:

1) Re-install 3D Invigorator. If you are opening the project and getting a corrupted file dialog box, this can help.

2) Deleting the 3D Invigorator Preference file. Go to your "Users > Library > Preferences" folder, and delete the "Zaxwerks Invigorator Prefs" file.

3) Resetting the Zaxwerks Swatches. Go to the "Documents > Zaxwerks" folder, and delete the "3D Invigorator" folder.

Also, note that it is not good working with After Effects crash files. Even though After Effects gives you an option to save the AFter Effects project during the crash, the crash saved file will be much more prone to future crashes. So, it's not recommended that you work from the crash file unless you did not save the project at all.

Hope this helps.

Best,
Edward
