After Effects error: effect cannot be applied it cannot be initialized.

Hello all,

Istalled Production Crate LaForge Suite of plugins a few weeks ago. Great stuff. Was all working fine until it didn't. Now I get the following error:

 

After Effects error: This effect cannot be applied because it cannot be initialized. Try reinstalling or contacting the plug-in developer. (25 :: 3)

 

Specs:

2019 Mac Pro – Mac OS sequoia, 15.4.1 (24E263)

Ae24 Version 24.6.6 (Build 1) - tried Ae25, same result.

Tried completely uninstalling all Production Crate plug-ins using Production Crate app. Then checked all After Effects and media core folders to make sure there was not anything left over. Did a fresh restart, used Disk Utility is to repair permissions did reinstall of Production Crate LaForge Suite version 1.3.8.

 

Nothing working. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you.

Production Crate was able to fix LaForge Suite. All plugins now working in Ae24 and Ae25.

Thank you, Kevin. I did reach out to Production Crate. Support is in touch with dev team to see what's up. Per their request I am also going to post the details on their Discord. I will post any findings here as a help for others.
