Hello!

When i try to Content Aware Fill something it shows me this:

After Effects warning: Content Aware Fill Error: Initialization Failed

How I can fix this please?

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

Have you solved this problem?

solved this by excluding cyrillic symbols from project path/name. try to rename folder/project to usual latin first

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.

Same here in AE 24 & AE 24 Beta on Mac. Nothing works. @jenkmeister 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.
