Start by not storing your stuff on your desktop. Typical Mac nonsense.

I'm having this exact same problem. Can't import anything into AE, and receive the same 23:0 message display.

Did you find a solution?

Turns out the error only occurred when trying to import files that existed in the same folder as the project.

Seem to have found a fix though.

Simply renamed the folder the project (and the files) lived in to something else.

I don't know what caused AE to hate that particular folder and it's name.

There was nothing unusual about the characters in it's name. Was working perfectly for weeks until the error suddenly began appearing.

This worked for me. By far the quickest solution. I hit "enter" 5 times and it disappeared and my changes immediately propagated.

Hi. Does anyone have a solve for this? I am getting a similiar error. When I place the .mov into a different folder it will then add the file to after effects without colorbars (offline). Very frusterating.

 

After Effects 24.4.1

Mac OS 14.3 (23D56)

3.2 GHz 16-Core Intel Xeon W

AMD Radeon PRO W6800X 32 GB

192 GB 2933 MHz DDR4

 

Any help would be great. Thanks!
