AE has issues with exported assets from XD (png, jpg)

As the title describes, I have an issue of missing files when exporting adobe XD to After Effects using the handy "Export > After Effects" . Every time when there's something missing it has to do with a png file (I assume jpg and svg as well).

 

Example:

Capture.PNG

 

So I would get an After Effects project with parts missing.

 

More info about my setup:

  • Laptop setup: most of the time everything is constantly upgraded.
  • I have access to multiple programs thx to school.
  • Always updated XD and AE to the latest version.
  • Not installed on my main drive (on D:\).

What I have tried as a fix:

  • Reinstalling everything (main drive C:\ and same drive D:\ so twice I reinstalled).
  • Using older versions.
  • Simple restart pc.

What I have not done so far:

  • Clean installation of laptop (wish to avoid this option since I do not know if this will even work)

 

What I have noticed.

On a different computer doing the export, I had no poblems, so nothing with the XD file.

What I've noticed when comparing (XD > export > After Effects) on both computers was the computer that has issues, did NOT make a temp folder with png in User/AppData/Local/Temp/project_name while the computer where everything works did. No clue why this is and do not know if this is the cause.

 

So once again on this computer Export with images = not a good time.

 

Can you please help me with this problem.

 

Ps: I have the plugin for XD to AE

Standard answer: Start by actually checking your layer, state and object names in XD and rename them sensibly if necessary.

Apologies I should have mentioned the name.

These are the original names  (img below) of the objects that then get renamed (in example first post).

You mentioned that the computer with the issue does not create the User/AppData/Local/Temp/project_name folder. Maybe you have an access issue with the user in this computer and XD does not save the files accordingly? Have you tried to run XD as admin instead (just right click XD app icon and select Run as Admin when opening it)?

Interestingly enough there is no "Run as administrator" for XD but for all other apps there is.

Is this because XD as a Windows app? Adobe XD is not installed in the same folder as the other apps, not 100% certain but XD is installed in C:\Program Files\WindowsApps .

 

 Ps: my user account is administrator if this gives some help.
