It's looking like special characters may be the culprit. Will confirm tomorrow though. I appreciate everyones thoughts. Thanks.

I find path length and/or file name issues to often be the culprit to collect and import failures.

If possible try to make sure source can collection destinations are as close to root as possible and/or look for potential file naming issues. For some reason I've seen AE, especially older versions, import a file just fine but then fail to collect it out due to file name truncation or character issues.

Yuck, I feel your pain. Similar issue here, I believe image sequences are involved, but I'll double check. I was trying to help narrow down a culprit, and that's nearly impossible with so many files in a project.

Unfortunately I often have problems with big projects and image sequences. I'm working on a big one now, AE project file is approaching 100 meg, overall duration is 5 minutes and there's 200 gig of pre-rendered image sequences. Collect files seems to hang. Can't work out if AE has actually crashed or if there's so much data that it will take a week for it to work.  I think it's the image sequences that do it, but my project has several thousand imported items so maybe it just can't cope...
I ended up doing it manually.

He's tried having the footage local instead of on our server. Keeps failing. Has anyone else come across this. Rolling out AE CC to the machines is not an option unfortunately, if that happens to be THE solution.
