QUIT AFTER EFFECTS & SAVE IN TERMINAL (MAC ONLY)

7/11/2017

Not so much a resource as it is a helpful tip. If you're on a mac and you inevitably lock up your After Effects, you can use this helpful terminal tip to quit After Effects AND save your work. 

WARNING: I've used this before and it hasn't always worked. Use this as a last resort. Sorry PC users. This is only for Mac. :/
Open two apps: Terminal and Activity Monitor.
In your activity monitor, look for the PID column for After Effects. It can be any number. Remember it.
In terminal, type “kill -SEGV (PID#)” where PID# is the number in the activity monitor, no parentheses.
​Alternatively, you could also use AE Scripts app, AE Suicide, which effectively does the same thing. Support your fellow After Effects Creators!
​

I have to give credit where credit is due. I found this info at DigitalSandwich.net. Thanks guys!
