Howdy. I'm running a MacBook Pro 15, M4 with 48gb Ram, running Sequoia 15.7.1. Using the latest version of AE.

 

I've had a project file stop loading randomly and will not load past 94% and AE stops respondng. I get no indication as to an error message or if a file is not working. I sent this file to another user and file can be opened on their machine but not on the original machine. I have just rebuilt the project again yesterday only for it to happen again this morning after I finished it. When I opened the Premiere project to render the beds the screens were blank so I opened AE to check and low and behold the same issue occured again. The first time it happened I re-installed AE, disabled all plugins and in safe mode, I have cleared the cache, I have doubled it's allocated ram from 12mb to 24mb and I've tried to open it in another new project to no avail. It's only this project though. I can open other projects so far no problem. I am running the 'Parallax' Plugin Script in this project which could be the issue and I'm also using dynamic links accross Premiere and AE. My only safety net is to continue this project on 'my clients' machine which isn't ideal along with having to release and install plugins on their machine. The other issue might be that I'm using my Google Drive to edit/animate to although this has never been an issue in the past. I have supplied the original AE file and th Rebuilt File for reference.

 

This is getting a bit desperate, any help would be greatly appreciated.

It's the Dynamic Links that kill the project. I've had to render all my sequences in AE for Premiere and all Premiere Cutdowns I've had to render out for AE to make it work.

Ok, it looks like it maybe a Google Drive issue or possibly the footage as I've installed the desktop Google app and now it's doing the exact same thing on the clients machine. I'm gong to get a high end external drive and see if transferring the files to that will help. If anyone has any ideas that'd be great. Thanks in advance.
