After effects Beta won't load any jsxbin from Aescripts

Hi all, 

I'm having this weird issue on my Macbook pro M1 Max, since this week my after effects is not loading any script from aescript. It worked perfectly a week ago, but now everytime I tried to load one AE keeps thinking forever. 

I tried to solve, removing preferences, reinstalling after effects, the scripts, but without no luck

 

any idea how to solve this issue?

thanks in advance,

I am having the similar issue. Scripts worked fine before Monterey 12.1 but since my machine was updated to 12.1, AE cannot open several (most) scripts. I have tried to use the option+shift trick and it doesn't work.


When I open KBar2 - I get the attached error.

 

When I open Explode Shape Layers, Ray Dynamic Color, Ease Copy, Flex + others, I get "Unable to execute script at line 1. null is not an object"

 

My Specs:
MacBook Pro (16-inch, 2021)
M1 Max
After effects 22.1.1 (also tried older versions)
Monterey 12.1 (wiped my machine and reinstalled OS to try to roll back to previous version, but am not able to go back to earlier version of Monterey)


Thoughts?

Hi @alant64956177 and @jk13980418,

 

Thank you both for reporting this issue. We had a similar report a few weeks ago and have been attempting to reproduce it since then without success. Does what you are seeing sound similar to report linked below?

 

It appears that OS security and/or application permissions might be related to the hang when scripts attempt to access the network for licensing. Please post the version of macOS you are running, as that may help us to reproduce and isolate this problem.

 

Thanks again for any further information,

- John, After Effects Engineering Team

Hi, thanks for the reply!

 

I'm running MacOS Monterey 12.0.1 on a Macbookpro M1 MAX. The version of After Effects Beta is Version 22.2.0 (Build 25). AE is running on Apple Silicon Mode.

 

Here's a video that shows what it happens when I try to load a script (that as you said needed access to network, that why I desactived in the video, to check that needed the access)

    Same issue! It hangs and has to be Force quit. Older AE installs don't work either. Something Adobe didn't test, apparently. It's a huge issue. Odd it worked before, I wonder what changed?

    I'm glad to hear that is a common issue. It happens since last update. Hope we can get a solution!
