Hey!

I'm working on a 2020 M1 Mac Book Pro with After Effects 22.5 installed.

 

Whenever I try to collect a project, the files within the footage folder are all 0KB.

When I open up the project I get an assortment of error and warning messages such as this 

 

 

Really not sure why this is happening – I've never had this issue before

I feel as though the root is the files are 0kb but I don't know why this is happening??

Hello!
I am experiencing the same symptoms.

I'm reporting this just in case there was a hint in another person's post.

Currently, you mentioned that it might be a bug.
It seems that in some cases, if you specify a different drive to save the files to, it works fine.
