Old AE Clip Blows Up AME Render Time

Question

After the latest Adobe updates for PP and AME, I had the next sequence I worked on blow up in AME render time from what should have been 15 minutes to 22 hours instead.

I've found that dropping a different .mp4 source file (let's call it Clip B), not the AE clip, directly in AME works fine. 15 minutes for rendering/encoding

Exporting Clip B (not in a sequence) from PP to AME. 15 minutes

Put Clip B into a sequence by itself, exported it, and AME works fine. 15 minutes

Add my 8 sec AE clip (animated logo for customer), that was created 2-3 years ago, to the sequence, and now the 15 minute rendering takes 22 hours in AME.

That looks like a problem with the AE clip that I've used for the last 2-3 years with no problems.

Is there a way to update an old AE clip, and if so, how?

Any other ideas on why an old AE clip that as worked fine now blows up the render time in AME?

And the answer is...Opened the newest version of AE, found the old AE project, opened it, it asked if I wanted to update the project, I say yes, Re-render the output and new 8 sec file put in current PP and AME works as flawlessly as it used to. Problem solved!And... why would an old .mp4 file create a problem in the newest AME?
