After Effects 2021 not saving on Mac!

After Effects 2021 is not allowing me to save. I haven't been able to save, save a copy or any other work around. I'm afraid I'll lose a day of work.

 

I am on After Effects 18.2.0 Build 37 on a Mac Pro running Big Sur 11.4. 

 

At the top it still says "Untitled Project *"

 

Any idea with what's going on?

Anyone? I've had to keep the project open all night and I'm afraid to close it.

Hi Anthony,

 

Sorry for your issue.

What happens when you try to save? Do you see any error message? Feel free to share a screenshot. You can try saving the project to a different location.

Let us know.

 

Thanks.

If I click "Save", nothing happens. If I go to "Save As" nothing happens.

 

Instead of a screenshot, I took a desktop video:
