I have been working with this AE project for weeks, including last night with no issues.  I didn't shut down my computer last night, but today I keep getting this error and can't get it to go away.  So, it seems to have come from no where, since nothing has changed.  Also, I have NO footage in this project.  It's all shapes, text, and fx.  Everything in the community seems to reference a framerate issue with source footage when you see this errror, but if there is not footage what is causing the error!!?  Help, I'm at a standstill with my project!

After a day on the phone with Adobe techs, we discovered that AE had done an auto updated the night before.  I think it's unwise that Creative Cloud by default automatically updates software.  I think it should be the other way around.  Also, it's a pretty big deal to release a new version that is incompatible with a very common graphics card.  Lesson learned....

 

DON'T UPDATE TO AE v.22.2.0 IF YOU HAVE MY GRAPHICS CARD!
