Hey!

 

Im using the standard color picker with preview in my effect in that way: while I choosing the color, algorithm is akso working and calculating the sequence data.

 

After clicking Ok after effects doing some work and sometimes it can take a few seconds! During that process AE`s UI is not accesseble.

 

So what that could be and how can I prevent or optimze my work with color picker to avoid that pause?

By the way, color picker without 'preview' check box never produce that king of problem.

System Specs would be helpful here.

Resetting Preferences might help:

Press Alt (Windows) or Option (Mac OS) while launching After Effects. You can release the Alt or Option key when the splash screen appears. To reset preferences and plug-in cache at the same time, hold down Control-Shift-Alt (Windows) or Command-Shift-Option (Mac OS) while the application is starting.

Also going into preferences and deleting/cleaning disk cache might be helpful.

Its not working for me.

 

To be honest, I think there should some more suitable way to use it in my plugin.

I think the problem is in my plugin, actually.

how does AE behave with other plug-in when selecting a color on you machine?

is it only your plug-in that causes such a freeze?
