AE errors out with "Unknown Exception" "86::1 when importing media

When I import a file into AE I receive "Unknown Exception" "86::1 error. The files are ProRes HQ and 4444. I have opened the video files in Quicktine as well as Blackmagic Fusion and they open without issue.
The files and projects are from my production workstation which is a PC. Unfortunately both of my PC's are in the middle of a Houdini Render so I thought I try to get some work done on my Apple M1 MAX. I'm not sure if there are AE compatibility issues with Apple Silicon? We are a year and a half into the Apple silicon transition and Adobe has yet to publicly release an Apple Silicon version of AE.
I have confirmed that there are no permissions issues and I even tried converting some of the files to ProRes again using Adobe Media encoder on the same Mac just to ensure there was not some type of file issue.
I'm about 30 mins away from just redoing the comp in Fusion instead. I'd prefer not to have to rebuild the whole file since there was quite a bit of tracking and roto-work. I feel like there is always some issue with After Effects these days.
Any help would be appreciated.
