Help!
I made a multi-layer file in Photoshop and imported it into After Effects to do some mask animations and such on each layer. (import>composition-retain layer sizes)
Now when I go to render I get a warning and the render fails:
"Warning: undo mismatch will attempt to fix"
Specs:
PC (new)
AE CC 2015
PS CC 2015
The PS file is in RGB mode.
is it because I have copied the layers out of the original PS Comp?
I just cleared my cache and restarted the computer; any and all help would be aprechiated!
Many Thanks,
K

I just re-imported the photoshop image and the layer colors are purple and not blue (sorry, true novice here). Now it exports just fine, but I want to know what might've happened if anyone has any idea!

Are you exporting using the Render Queue or using Adobe Media Encoder?
What are the Image settings of your Photoshop document? For example, is it RGB color mode at 8 bits/channel or is it CMKY color mode at 8 bits/channel? Or is it RGB or CMYK at 16 bits/channel?
Going with RGB at 8 bpc or 16 bpc is more likely to yield expected results in AE than going with CMYK.
Is there a Color Profile assigned to the document? For example, is it set to "Don't manage" or "sRGB" or "Rec.709"?
What is the Working Space Color Settings set to in the After Effects project? For example, is it set to "None" or "SRGB" or "Rec.709"?
Ideally, these should match.

Oh... just saw that you indicated that your files are RGB color mode. So, RBG/CMYK isn't a possible issue.

Though I am not sure why importing the files as Footage would have given me this error.
Kind thanks for taking a look at this query!

It sounds like you had inadvertently imported the Photoshop file as a Photoshop Sequence.
This happens if you drag and drop a folder with still images into the Project tab or check the "Sequence" checkbox in the import options after selecting a still image format.
