Animation Presets Error

I've recenly upgraded from After Effects 2022 to 2023 and when I apply an animation preset to text using Bridge an error appears:

 

After Effects error: Can't import file "Typewriter.ffx": unsported filetype or extention (0::1)

 

The preset does however work if applied through After Effects via: Animation - Apply Animation preset - Text effect

 

Does anyone know how to fix this error when appling an effect through Bridge?

    Hi @J24811039644x @jvarro  @Bevin28193928m410 @Rolph K @EPickart 

    I just saw this query and want to  share the possible solution for this issue. If anyone is still facing the issue please refer and let us know the status:

    Error : After Effects error: Can't import file "Typewriter.ffx": unsported filetype or extention (0::1)

    Reason : After Effects not added in the start Script Preferences of Bridge

    Solution :
    Bridge menu > Settings > Start up Script > Enable After Effects from the list (MAC)
    Edit > Preferences > Start up Script > Enable After Effects from the list (WIN)


    Additional steps : Uninstalling After Effects, Bridge if you still can't see the option enabled

    Same here.

    Even with AE 23.2.0 and Bridgte 13.0.2.636 always the same error.
    I know i can use these presets directly inside After Effects, but i like the preview.

    It saves time.

    It's apparently botched again like it was with the 2020 versions back then. You're not the first to report it. until there's a fix in an update it may simply be unusable, but of course check the relevant things like user permissions on folders, temp files and so on.
