After Effects error: internal verification, sorry! {no current context}

Hello, for the last couple of months, every time I open After Effects I get this:  After Effects error: internal verification, sorry! {no current context}

 

It's an especially annoying dialog since it give you zero info to do anything about it. 

 

I have reset my preferences, rebooted my machine and opened all my files outside of AE to confirm they aren't damaged.  Not sure what else I can do at this point. 

 

Mac Pro 2019 256GB OS 15.4.1. AE 25.2.2

Hi,

I read your message. There might be some clues to fix your issue in this thread. Check it out:https://adobe.ly/4d6k6Ty. You might also try transcoding the footage, launch the app without plug-ins, reset preferences, and purge all cache. I hope the advice helps.

 

Let me know.

 

Thanks,
Kevin

Thanks Kevin, I did see that link but it was related to Premier and Teams, neither of which I use.  I have no outside plugins, I have reset the preferences and purged the cache many times. The footage is animation stills from Maya which AE puts together as footage. Not sure how to transcode that.

Ah. It's an image sequence then. What is the format? Thanks for trying troubleshooting. You can transcode an image sequence directly from After Effects or from Adobe Media Encoder. It might be worth a try. Sorry for the hassle.

 

Thanks,
Kevin
