Photoshop Library operation failed when saving a frame as Photoshop Layers

Hi There,

 

In AE, I'm trying to save a frame as a photoshp layer and the process starts and it fails a few seconds later.  I get an error "The Photoshop Library Operation Failed" message.  (screenshot attached).

 

The project is a template that I downloaded from envato elements and it works fine and I can export the actual footage with no errors.  Any ideas on how to resolve the issue?

 

Steps to reproduce:

- Select the frame in the timeline

- Go to Composition -> Save Frame as -> Photoshop Layers

- The functionality works for other projects, but this one in particular fails.  

 

Versions info:

AE version: 17.5.1 (build 47)

Photoshop: 22.1.0

There were no logs found in the folder  OS:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\After Effects\17.5\logs

Without any specific info we can't tell you anything. Most likely it's simply an unsupported feature that can't be translated to an editable PSD layer. You may want to read the online help on the matter. Beyond that you have to provide actual info on the composition and its contents, where you try to save the file and so on.
