Troubleshooting Problems Opening ARS Files


Common Problems Opening ARS Files

Adobe After Effects Not Present

You attempt to load your ARS file and get an error such as "%%os%% Can't Open The ARS File Extension". If so, it typically means that you don't have Adobe After Effects installed for %%os%%. This will prevent you from double-clicking to open the ARS file because the OS doesn’t know how to handle it.


Tip: When another ARS application is installed, you can choose to open it by selecting "Show Apps" and using that program.


Adobe After Effects Requires Update

Occasionally, you might have an outdated version of Adobe After Effects installed that's incompatible with your After Effects Render Settings File type. If you've got the wrong version of Adobe After Effects installed, you'll need to install the correct version. Most of the time your After Effects Render Settings File file was created by a newer Adobe After Effects than what you have installed.


Tip: Right-clicking on your ARS, then clicking "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac), can provide clues about your file version.


Primarily, problems experienced when opening ARS files are due to having the incorrect version of Adobe After Effects installed on your computer.


Additional ARS Opening Issues

Even with the correct version of Adobe After Effects installed, you can still experience difficulties opening ARSs. If you're still experiencing problems opening ARS files, there could be other computer problems. Additional factors include:

  • ARS file type Registry entries are wrong

  • ARS file corruption
