Error code: -1609629695

Hi, I've been using AME and AE since 2016 but never have I had this repeating problem until I got a new macbook. I've been trying to render my project for a while but the same error keeps showing up. I've tried the following: changing the location of the render, changing the cache files to a different folder, restarted my mac + the programs, changed the renderer engines (on both applications), removed effects that could be considered to overload the render, changed the possible effects from the composition to an adjusment layer (vice versa). I still cannot get it to render and it's very annoying, I also need the certain part of the project that it keeps failing at, If someone can help me I'd appreciate it a lot, thank you!!!
