Saber does not work in after effects 25.2.2. I needed Saber for the project. I downloaded it from the official source and installed it. For the test, I created a simple object for the test. I drag the saber onto the object, select Layer Masks and nothing. Everything worked before. Half a year ago I made a project using saber, but on a different version of AF. Maybe someone has encountered this?

I have been using it the last two weeks with no problem. Today i was working in a single comp with only 2 shape layers and a Repeater, no Saber effect involved neither in the comp nor in any other in this proyect. Suddenly After Effects crashed, with the error message "After Effects Warniong: Unknown BIB error. Unknown Bravo Error, BRV,0". 

I googled it and the answer i found was about some corrupted font. Cleared cache, fonts caché in muy windows, cleared AE prefs, and nothing fixed the problem. At last, i uninstalled Saber, the only plugin i had installed in this CC 2025.5 version of AE and Boom! it worked again with no problem. So yes, i think theres a problem with the plugin in CC2025, but i dont understand why it didnt show before, as the plugin was installed more than two weeks a go.

Any chance you were applying it to a Vector shape layer? I'm not saying you can't cuz I'm not sure, but I was finding I'd get weird offsetting when doing that. Putting it on a solid or adjustment layer worked fine though.

Try downloading and installing the plugin again: https://www.videocopilot.net/tutorials/saber_plug-in/

 

It's working just fine for me.
