Character Animator cannot export no matter what I do!

Spent hours creating my first charactor in Charactor Animator for a client. Was excited to export and do some final things in After Effects, but cannot export for the life of me. When I try to export through AME directly, it shows up, but runs into an error immediately. "Could not read from source, please check it has not been moved or deleted." Well, I have done no moving, so thanks though. I try to import the project into AME, nope, can't connect to Dynamic link. Thats stupid. All programs are up to date. V14.0.4 AME, V3.2 CA. Tried installing and reinstalling both. Nope. Really at the point of screen capturing so I don't totally let my client down, but this is absurd and need to be fixed yesterday.
