Automation Blocks Not Opening After Effects 25.1

Question

I installed the trial of automation blocks, no matter how many times I click on extensions -> automation blocks, the option never gets a check next to it, the program never opens. Anyone know a fix? Was hoping to give it a try to see how it worked for a workflow i was doing.

How do you install it? We at Plainly Videos recently developed a plug-in and hit simillar problems depending on the installation type.

For example, did you use any of the methods described here https://github.com/plainly-videos/after-effects-plugin#installation? If this is the case, I guess the extension should work out of the box.

However, if you simply copied the unsigned extension to CEP/extensions folder, then you need to you can bypass the check for extension signatures . More about that here: https://github.com/Adobe-CEP/CEP-Resources/blob/master/CEP_11.x/Documentation/CEP%2011.1%20HTML%20Extension%20Cookbook.md#debugging-unsigned-extensions

The debugging stuff is also mentioned on the aescripts knowledge base, and that step can also be performed using ZXP Installer. See details here: https://aescripts.com/knowledgebase/index/view/faq/zxp-cep-extension-won-t-open

Hope it helps..
