Question

3D Camera Tracker "timed out obtaining dynamiclink server connection."

Since I've switched to After Effects CC 2018 I've not been able to use the 3D camera tracker. I've looked around and couldn't find an answer and was wondering how to fix this or if anyone else has had the same issue.

Here's a screen grab:

I've tried uninstalling and using the CC Cleaner Tool but it still doesn't work. Any help on how to fix this would be most appreciated!

It has no errors at all, it's just that you respond with a message that when running the program for too long,
it will show "timed out of acquiring dynamiclink server connection".
Check the windows that pop up from the software and turn it off, it will work right away.

    This is how I solved the problem. Close AE, then enter the Task Manager, there shut down all programs and background processes related to any Adobe program. Then re-enter AE and it should work.

      Have tried all these steps, changed permissions, turned Firewall off, set Little Snitch to allow everything and I'm still getting the error.
