Content Aware Fill crashes AE when MGJSON asset is used.

[Ryan Laney]

I've been dealing with seemingly random hanging for months. Narrowed it down to a combination of using Content Aware Fill ("CAF") any time there is a MGJSON file used anywhere upstream from where content aware fill is used. 

• After Effects hangs on the next save after the CAF completes.
• I can save if CAF has started but not yet generated frames.   
• Autosave after the CAF completes also causes the hang.
• MGJSON can be imported in the project, the hang only happens when it is used in a comp.

Hello @Ryan Laney 

Thank you for taking the time to post as well as narrow down the reproduction steps. Sorry you have been encountering this issue for some time.

I have opened a ticket internally to get this into our bug backlog. 

Further details might be requested as this gets prioritized.

All the best,
Jessica

Any chance we can get the project with its assets or at least the JSON file?
