Question

importing issue, "the project could not be opened" plz help

I tried to open some animation files from Character animator in AE. 

So I clicked AE File-> Import -> File -> and choose the CH file I wanted to open

My Ch files which I have used before have no problem to be opened in AE but the Ch files I recently created are not able to be opened. I don't know why.

It simply said "connecting to Dynamic Link" and "the project could not be opened"

 

I tried to reboot and update the new version of apps but it hasn't been solved yet.

Please help me. I can't work forward with this problem

Hi Hhho,

 

Sorry for your issue. It looks like related to the Dynamic link.

You can try disabling your firewall and antivirus and see if it helps.

Looking forward to your response.

 

Thanks,

Nishu

Hi Nishu!

 

I am facing the same issues as Hhho. I cannot link my Character Animator project to After Effects.

 

I am using the beta version of Character Animator but it was working well with After Effects lately.

 

I join some printscreens with useful information for you to help me. Please tell me if you need anything else.

 

Thanks a mil for your help!

I can't say if this is a bug, hopefully if it is it will be resolved soon.  A workaround in the meantime is to render out your animation using the AME with Alpha channel setting and import that.  I find CH renders really quite quickly and at least, you'll be able to continue working on your project.
