Question

Modal Dialog is Waiting for a Response

Hello!

Roughly once or twice per AE session, my plugins will stop functioning, and I'll receive this error when I try to run something:

If I receive this error, it lasts until I close the plugin and then reopen it. It doesn't seem to be related to a specific action, as I get this error sometimes right after I open a composition as well as several hours into a session, and it happens with all of my plugins.

Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hi tysonjames2,

Sorry for your issue and thanks for providing the screenshot.

As Gutterfish and Dave mentioned, it could be due to the incompatibility of the plugins with the After Effects version. I'd suggest that you reinstall the plugins and see if that helps.

Best,

Rameez

Hi,

It would really help if you were specific.

When you try to run "something"?  What does that mean?

It happens with "All" of your plugins? That seems very unlikely but... How many plugins do you have and what are they?

What plugin are closing and reopening?

We're not mind readers/.

Also what operating system and version of AE are you using.

FAQ: What information should I provide when asking a question on this forum?

Hi Gutterfish,

1. When I try to run "Something," I'm referring to using/running one of my plug-ins.

2. Yes it's happening with "All" of my plugins, but these are the most common ones I use :

     Labels3

     gifGun

     Motion Tools 2.0

     Motion 2

     Ray Dynamic Color

     ESL

     Overlord    

     Rollit!

     Ouroborus

3. Whenever that Modal Dialogue prompt occurs, I have to close the plugin window and reopen it. Sometimes that works, other times it doesn't and I have to restart the program. I notice it the most with GifGun, Overlord, Labels3 and Motion 2 as I use these the most. From the little I've gathered, it seems like there should be some kind of window waiting on a prompt from me . This seems to be the most likely cause of my problem, as I use two monitors...but I can't find this misplaced or hidden window if that's the case.

5. Mac OS High Sierra 10.13.6 and AE 2019 is up to date.

Have you updated your plugins since you updated AE?
