3d Camera Tracker Error 'unable to obtain dynamiclink server connection'. I have re-installed and updated to the latest release. Please note I do not use dynamic link ever! 2017 Imac Monterey Vers 12.6 64GB Ram, Radeon Pro 580 8 GB. Any assistance here would be greatly appreciated. My productivity vs cost of Adobe subscription has been seriously compromised this year. Rich.

Title edited by Mod. to include After Effects version

Hi, had the same problem with the last versions of AE (and AE Beta) with warp stabilizer, I updated mac OS and when started up again in AE, the problem was gone.

if there is anyone facing the same issues in 2024. Here is my simple ( beacuse I'm a newbie when it comes to usingg AE), I've been using 23.xx and 25.xx on my M1 macbook air. after getting the famous "unable to obtain dynamiclink server connection" massage I found this subject and when I saw the "mediacore" and "dll file" cues from the OP's latest update, I suspected for a a few plugins I've installed to 23 and 25 versions. But I couldn't lacate any of them in my mediacore file. So I went for the obvious choice and installed a 24 update and voila for the time being everything seems to be working fine.

Which version did you install? I have both 2024 and 2025 version, neither seems to work, even after I deleted all the plugins 😞

Yeah, I tried everything, and it only worked twice in total, now it stopped working again. I think I'm not touching that feature ever again and learn blndr instead

Same here. Tried this entire thread. I'm using Macbook Pro M2 Pro, 16GB Ram.

My error is "unable to to obtain dynamiclink server connection". When I updated my MacOS to latest Sequoia, it resolved the issue for a few days but now its back. I started AE in safe mode and found out i didnt have any 3rd party plugins installed. I gave AE Full Disk Access. It hasnt worked.

I've reinstalled several times and tried older versions of AE including Beta. It didnt work.

Please help. I am out of options.

I'm having the same issue and I don't have Geotracker plugin installed on my machine. Pretty much a fresh install of Monterey. Latest version of AE and still getting the unable to obtain dynamiclink server connection error when trying to run the 3D camera tracker. Any help would be apprecaited as this is preventing me from getting work done.

In the past starting up AE in safe mode fixed the dynamiclink server issue. I'd start up safe, do the track, save, then restart the program normally so you have access to all your third-pary plugins and whatnot.

Thanks for the suggestion. Tried After Effects in safe mode and it didn't work. This is really frustrating. Just updated to the latest version of Monterey OS X 12.7.6 and running After Effects 24.6.2 but still get same issue. I've uninstalled AE and re-installed, tried an older version 23 but nothing seems to work.

In my case it is the plugin of "Connect Fonts" (former Extensis Suitcase) ExtensisFontManagementAE2024.plugin it gives allways errors that the plugin has been deactivated, when i click OK the tracker starts to analyse. AE and the plugins with latest updates AE 24.03 (Build 2) and ExtensisFontManagementAE2024.plugin @ 25.0.1.11288. The Error message allways appears behind the AE App window so i didnt see it in the beginning.

Mac OS Ventura 13.6.2 (22G320)

Yes, the above worked for me as well! Looks like the connect fonts plugin was also messing with the dynamic link. Turned off the plugin and now the warp stabilizer works fine.

If this is in fact the solution as you and others have confirmed that's great (haven't tested personally). It would be good for anyone using geotracker actively to make this issue known with the keentools team as well. Uninstalling is a great short term fix but seems like this should be something that keentools should be able to resolve as well since it's negatively impacting so many people trying to use their product

YES YES YES!!! Consider this thread closed, at least for me.

What an elegant and painless solution and what a brilliant idea this is.

So after all, the solution came from Adobe via prodbyjoe_

@nishukush17152937 It is solved! Kick out Keen tools and be keen! God bless everyone!

I can CONFIRM that it works, this is the solution.
I also had Geotracker installed. By simply uninstalling the Plugin, Camera Tracker works again. Instantly.

At last!!
