After Effects "Character Palette" Error

New Here ,

We are having an increasingly annoying issue opening projects from legacy versions of Ae, which right now encompasses every project before the 2018 release. We re-use a ton of assets here & are constantly re-opening older projects to retrieve them so a solution for this is absolutely crucial to us. The only work around we have found so far is saving down to a CC 2014 version on a Windows PC, which we do not have in-house. We appreciate what ever feedback / solutions / input we can get from anyone who has had this issue. We have attached specs for our machines, thank you in advance.

Hi there,

 

Sorry to hear about the issue. Could you share details on your system specifications and the exact version of After Effects that you are using: https://community.adobe.com/t5/after-effects/faq-how-to-find-the-exact-version-of-after-effects-you-...

Also, does it work fine if you create a new project and reopen it?

Let us know.

 

Thanks,

Nishu

After Effects crash occurred while invoking plug-in Character Palette.

I can't open After Effects. This message shows on the start-up.

I fixed this by temporarily deleting the character plug-in from the "Required" folder. I didn't find any other solutions to fix this. Please help me to fix this issue.

Thank You

Hi sudeshprathap,

 

Welcome to the Community and sorry for your issue.

Would you mind elaborating more on what's happening? Do you get this error message when you open the project or when you covert the text layer? Is it happening with new projects as well? Also, do you see any crash reports?

We're here to help, just need more info.

 

Thanks,

Nishu

Hi @nishu_kush,

 

I am having the same issue. I get the error message when I open any project and either:

1. Try to convert a PSD to a text layer 

2. When I try to copy text from photoshop to AE.

 

I've reinstalled AE, restarted my computer, deleted any 3rd party apps, and deleted preferences.

Hi all,

 

This should be fixed in After Effects 17.1.4.

Have you updated to this version? If not, please give it a shot and let me know.

 

Thanks,

Yes, I have updated to this version : /

The font that I try tu use is a variable font, it's called "Agrandir Variable".

If you know how I can resolve the issue, it could be fine.

 

Thanks!

Hi! It seems that after effects doesn't allow variable fonts. I don't know if in the last version it's solved. The fast solution is changing the font of your project for another similar that don't be variable.

Good luck!!

It has been almost a year and no solution to this??? I now can't even open projects that contain variable fonts because of this error. PLEASE fix this adobe. This is going to be a massive problem very soon as many fonts are changing over to this. I don't get to dictate which fonts i use at work, the clients already have them for their print campaigns. This should be a major priority since many people work on Mac.
