Fix for Textevo2 “Unable to execute script – null is not an object (line 34026)”

If your Textevo2 script is crashing with:

Unable to execute script at line 34026. null is not an object

and you’ve tried:

• multiple AE versions

• reinstalling AE

• disabling OneDrive/Dropbox

• resetting prefs

• different machines

• reinstalling the script

👉 It’s not After Effects — it’s a broken settings initialization bug in the script.

❌ Root Cause

The script tries to access:

But teSettings.data is null because the settings file (textevo2_settings.json) is:

• corrupted

• empty

• unreadable

• missing

• broken path

• invalid JSON

• or in Recycle Bin

So the script crashes when it tries to read it.

 FIX (Permanent)

🔹 Step 1 — Delete old settings file

Search Windows for:

Delete it everywhere (including Recycle Bin).

🔹 Step 2 — Patch the script

Replace this block:

🟢 With this safe version:

🔹 Step 3 — Restart AE

Run Textevo2 → settings file will regenerate → no crash.

✅ Result

• No more “null is not an object”

• Script loads correctly

• Settings auto-regenerate

• Works in AE 2022–2025

• No cloud sync issues

• No engine conflicts

• Permanent fix

🧩 Why this works

The script didn’t have null protection for corrupted/missing JSON data.
This patch prevents crashes and auto-heals broken settings.

TextEvo 2 - support 

I have unsync/turned off my oneDrive, then I restarted my PC and reinstalled Text Evo 2, when I tried the plugin it still errors like above

You should try both: unsync OneDrive or turn off OneDrive.

So I’ve read the articles you provided, but I’m still a bit confused. Should I unsync my OneDrive?

uhh yeah, i've installed oneDrive on my PC

Do you have an application like OneDrive or Dropbox that could be causing a conflict?

AEUX plugin not showing the UI 

i have turn it on, but still error like the image I provided before
