After effects error: illegal XML character "" in string ",XA" (23 :: 0)

I keep getting a warning when importing and AE project into another;

After effects error: illegal XML character "" in string ",XA" (23 :: 0)

 

I've had this issue before and then it went away but since updating to AE2019 (on windows 10, 64 bit) it has come back. It never seems like the import goes wrong / anything is missing but the pop up window takes like 30+ clicks to close down which is such a pain.

 

Any ideas???

Without any more info on the project structure and contents I'm afraid that's hopeless. Sure, it could just be generic malformed XML, but actually knowing these details and observing at which point this occurs might offer some clues. You should see the project window populate and soem status messages appear on the info panel, so this may help to diagnose the issue along with the requested info. It would e.g. be relevant which layers may be text layers, which ones use expresssions, which ones may be tied to master properties and a MOGRT template etc..

Thanks for replying! So I looked into what you said but nothing appears in the info panel when it imports. Interestingly I tried importing into new projects and the issue isn't there so it must have something to do with the project Im working on rather than the imported project. It's a super simple project though, a bit of graded footage, and some simple shape layers with text animated over the top with animation composer. Oh and a bit of audio from Boombox. I'm not super techy so all these background issues Im lost with, but as it's not affecting the project as such (only workflow) I'll not worry about it but I appreciate you taking the time to answer my original post.
