Unknown Exception Error when doing arbitrary actions

Hello, i'm on MacOS Sonoma 14.1.1, and i'm experiencing random "Unknown Exception" error when doing seemingly random things:

-I can't create solid layers

-I can't import .mov files ( works if i do a multiple file import and spam the import button in the Finder )

-I can't double clic on a keyframe in the Graph Editor if the attribute has 2 values (position or scale - no error if i separate dimensions or if i work in a 3D layer)

I tried multiple versions of After Effects, i tried emptying the cache folder, i even did a macOS update ( i had one pending ) but i'm still getting errors.

Anyone has a clue as to what can be wrong? thanks in advance. i uploaded a screen capture also
