After Effects error: internal verification failure, sorry! Item must be a comp // 5027::91

Hi there,

I have a problem with my After Effects project. Whenever I move forward or back in the timeline, this error message comes up. I can not work properly on the file anymore, but I urgently need to export some plexus effects as SVGs and work in it.

Can someone help me how to fix the mistake?

Regards Stephan

Just delete the effect which u have used in your last auto save and save the file with a new name it will help.

for me it was a plugin called "UnPrecompose", updated the plugin to the latest version and everything back to normal

i don't have autocrop nor unprecompose, but have this problem. which else plugin or script may cause it?

Hi, for me this exact issue was arising because of the plugin called AutoCrop.
Removed the plugin file from the Support files, and this issue got fixed.
