I have the same problem and i solved it manualy by luck!
Add PSD file as a footage and drag it to make a compisition 
then Drag PSD file again but this time as a comp.
it will work and then delete the psd footage one 

I'm having the same problem, on a Mac with Big Sur

Hi rickb62730593,

Thanks for writing in.

Is it happening only with the Photoshop files that were created in the previous? Do you have text in the Photoshop files? You could try resetting the app preferences. Here's how: https://community.adobe.com/t5/after-effects-discussions/faq-how-to-reset-trash-preferences-in-after-effects/td-p/10634342

Let us know if it helps.

Thanks,

I'm having no issues importing PSD files. Granted, I'm on Windows, but everything behaves as normal.

Try creating a brand new, RGB, Photoshop file in 1920x1080. Put, like, two text layers in there. And then try importing that. See if it behaves. If so, yay, we have a start of troubleshooting! If not, roll back to an earlier version of AE (or the public beta) and keep working until you get a moment to file a bug report on UserVoice.

Anything from insufficient cross-app testing during the rushed Betas these days to a genuine bug. The blame is more likely on the PS side of things as they seem to have updated their code massively again and that may break compatibility in other programs that use the import routines. If at all I would imagine you might need to re-save the files from PS 2022, possibly foregoing stuff like smart objects and extended layer styles. Then again this could not do anything. Realyl impossible to say, but if going back does it for you, then I would advise to just sit it out until the next two or three patches have been issued. Adobe's QA process is so bad these day it makes some botched game releases look good...
