after effects can't continue s_shake plugin generated an unexpected exception

[defaultrcn1afejhkkg]

Hi!! I REALLY need someone's help. I recently got after effects on my new laptop as well as the sapphire plugin and oftentimes when using s_shake or s_flicker I get this pop up reading, "after effects can't continue s_shake plugin generated an unexpected exception." How can I fix this? I uninstalled sapphire and installed it again but the same issue occurs. It does not happen right when I add these effects but in a more random and unpredictable manner rather. And at the same time my after effects does not respond 😞

You check the folder below to make sure nothing is left just in case after you uninstall Sapphire.

C:\Program Files\Adobe\Common\Plug-ins\7.0\MediaCore\Sapphire Plug-ins

Hi. I also am encountering this issue and it specifically happens in After Effects CC 2021. It doesnt crash straight away, but after about 20 minutes of editing, if you make even the slightest change to the project, you will have a circling cursor and the software will crash saying "s_(any sapphire plugin) created an unexpected exception". I have tried completely uninstalling (even deleting the registry) and re-installing both After Effects and all the plugins including sapphire, it works for about 2-3 hours but then out of nowhere it freezes again, and each time it happens the frequency of getting the error seems to be shrinking. And yes, i have tried installing different versions After Effects CC 2021, but this error seems to be happening on every version. I would like to know if there is any solution

Imma try and downl downgrade to another version of sapphire if there's a way , because i didn't pay just for it to not work

[fabian.madco]

I'm facing the same error from the Sapphire Plugins, completely random sometimes. Did you get it to work with the downgraded version?

[Larkingabout]

I have the same issue, I wish someone was able to provide a fix, it was working fine just a couple of weeks ago

I usually only get this problem when my pc has ran out of memory and or the plugin doesn't function correctly at a certain moment, Try just reopening After Effects.

And what do I have to do after that?

im not sure if you all have the same problem now lmao its almost 2025, but my friend had the same problem, he disabled multi rendering in "preferences->memory" and it worked

 This tip worked to solve my problem too, thank you.

The same thing happened to me,with the twixtor plugin

Actually I solved that problem with turning multi-frame rendering off. But it becomes really annoying because without CPU, RAM can do anything. I stopped to use that s_shake and flicker. I was using them for create bass shake but it is possible to creat it with twitch and s_blurmocurves.

i downloaded every version of borix sapphire plugin, that latest version of 2024 gave  me red screen whereever and whenever i used the s_effects of the plugin, and the every version of 2023 2022 2021, they kept crashing my after effects whenever opened any if my project file which had s_shake s_blur or effect from the plugin, it just sucks, i have no idea what to do , first i was not sure why it was happening to me , so i deleted the after effects and downloaded other versions and the same happenend still, so after that i thought i might be because of red gaint plugin , or magic bullet look or magin suite , i deleted them all and still the same thing happened to me, so at last , i deleted the sapphire plugin and everything worked fine for me, i was able to open those project files,  but when i thought i mightr have to use other versions of the plugin , download and tried every version and it  crashed every single time
