FYI, I may have jumped the gun giving the all clear on this issue.

I just exported a countdown leader from Pr CC in ProRes, and tried to =
import it into Ae CC, and I got the same error message.  I proceeded =
directly to delete the AJA folder in the Ae CC Plug-ins folder, and I =
was able to import the movie after a relaunch.

So, next=85 I quit Ae, and unzipped the AJA folder that contained the =
AJA Adobe driver that I had zipped right after a clean install.

I was then able to reopen the project and use the external monitoring =
feature.

This leads me to conclude that the AJA Adobe plug in gets corrupted =
fairly easily.  What I'm not certain about, though, is whether the AJA =
driver is defective, or whether it's Ae that's corrupting it.  So, I'm =
not sure where to file the bug report.

On a related note:

Pr prefs get corrupted so easily (several times per day, some times) =
that I have a similar refresh strategy that puts me back in business =
after a quit, refresh prefs and relaunch routine. =20

In case anybody is interested, my method is to launch Pr with a clean =
set of prefs, adjust them how I want them, and then before starting any =
work on projects, zip the prefs, and create an alias to the enclosing =
folder on my desktop.  That way, I can quit Pr, open the prefs folder, =
trash the prefs, unzip the "clean modified" prefs, and relaunch Pr.  I =
do lose the Recent Items, but that's a small price to pay.

With Digital Rebellion's Preference Manager, I was able to refresh prefs =
about as easily with CS6 and previous, but it's not yet been updated for =
CC.
