I'm also getting this error. I've tried multiple pre-existing projects, saved both on and off the local drive, and now I get this:

"After Effects error: file '000001' cannot be imported - files of type 'fGNP' cannot be used as sequences."

When I click "OK", I get the Initialization Failed error afterwards. Doesn't matter what type of footage I'm using.

I have the same error. Tried getting rid of all cyrillic symbols and weird characters like "&" etc. and moved the footage and project to the internal laptop SSD, nothing helped. I get the same error as goji1986, but in my case it says: "After Effects error: file '000000' cannot be imported - files of type "" cannot be used as sequences." After I click OK, it says: "After Effects warning: Content-Aware Fill Error: Initialization Failed"
Anybody have the same problem?

So I actually got it working, but I have no idea how. I clicked on the hamburger (3-lines in top corner of the Content-Aware Fill properties window and chose "Content-Awarte Fill Settings". In there I tinkered around with different settings (clicked everything on and back off and back on again) and all of a sudden it worked. These are the settings in the end (but remember: some of them were like that before and it still didn't work at first):

Same here in AE 24 & AE 24 Beta on Mac. Nothing works. @jenkmeister1961936 any new development in the past 5 years?

Have you tried any of the above suggestions? Do you have a project you can zip up and send to us for reproducing?

Yes, works from the local drive. But seriously, dear Adobe folks, large projects cannot be stored on internal hard drives only. The issue with external hard drives exists in various areas in AE and Pr. It can't be the purpose of ultra-expensive subscriptions that I can only work on my local hard drive.

Create a new project on another hard disk... mean in an another path with another name

I had exactly this problem too. When I ran my project and media from an external SSD, I got the error every time. As soon as I moved the media and my .aep project to my local drive, Content Aware Fill worked fine.

Have you solved this problem?

Would you be able to upload the AEP project file somewhere that we can download it? Unfortunately the error message (which we need to make better) doesn't let you or us know what is causing the initialization failure.

Thanks
