After Effects Error: Can’t Copy and Paste Text (August 2021)

Can’t copy and paste text in After Effects?

Here’s the solution:

  • Change the way you open up your After Effects file. Do not open by double-clicking the project file OR right-clicking the project file and clicking Open.
  • INSTEAD – Open up the After Effects program first, and then open up your project file from there.
  • Adobe is currently working on this problem, and this will hopefully be fixed in the next update.
