On startup - internal verification failure, sorry! resource fork usage has been deprecated

I get this pop up everytime After Effects starts up. 

I'm on a 2019 iMac running macOS 11.2.3 with the latest version of AE 18.0.0

It seems plugin or script related, because it showed up when I copied all my Plug-ins/Presets/Scripts folders over from my After Effects 2020 folder to the new 2021 folder.

I would recommend you use the regular installer of each product, not just copy the folders.

Actually, I have installed the latest version AE 2021, but the VC vibrance plugin is just a file that can be downloaded from video copilot and copy to the plugins folder. So when I do the same for this, we are getting the above error. Please help on this.

I didn't have that same issue with any of the Videocopilot plugins. And re-installing each product seems insane considering that anyone who does AE will have dozens and dozens of plugins. Re-installing individually everytime AE decides to update seems unrealistic. 

[nagarajtg5]

Only VC Vibrance, for this plugin there is no installer, it has to be copied to the plugin folder. Otherwise no issues with any other plugins.

By default, there are two files in the Color Vibrance plug-in directory. A Vibrance64.plugin file as well as another Vibrance.aex file. After talking with VideoCopilot support, just delete the .aex file from the folder (this file is only intended for windows). On my Mac, everything works again normally. I hope I was able to help you.

Yep this worked for me! Thanks Sylvian!

Worked perfectly - thank you 🙂

[alonesingleton]

This worked for me! I ended up having to go through some other plugins (like Newton and FX Console) and delete the .aex files from there as well.

I had the same thing happen. It doesn't seem to be affecting it in any way, but yes it must be script / plugin related. Considering the amount of plugins I have, it's too big of a job to go individually install each plugin everytime adobe wants to update their software. Clicking "OK" seems to just make this go away. No idea what's causing it or if it has any effect on the performance. 

[nagarajtg5]

Yes, when you get an error, you can just click ok and AE opens, but when you apply that specific plugin, it doesn't apply.

[blindluckpictures]

I guess the trick is finding out which plugin is causing the problem as it is such a blanket message. I've tried with several plugins but still can't locate the issue. 

[nagarajtg5]

Maybe remember which plugin you might copy from the previous version or from your drive. I have got that only one plugin that has been downloaded and copied to the plugin folder (VC Vibrance), when I deleted the issue wasn't popped up. This is happening only in AE 2021.

Well, I uninstalled AE and reinstalled a clean copy, then transferred just the contents of my Plugins, Presets, and Scripts folders over one folder at a time, launching AE inbetween each transfer, and it seems to have worked.

Hi Matt,

Sorry for the trouble. I appreciate all the suggestions given by the experts above.

We have released a new update yesterday. Would you mind giving it a try for this issue?

Let us know. Looking forward to your response.

Thanks,

Shivangi

Hi - thanks for the update. 

I actually got it sorted out by doing a clean install of AE and then moving over the folders one by one, checking in between each copy. Something must have gotten a little wonky when I did it the first time just copy and pasting everything at once. 

[yakuba42]

I'm having a similar issue, same error but it happens everytime at the moment AE is scanning the plugin folder with CameraRaw (v13.2).

Any thoughts appreciated!

 @Sylvain Guizard  It works on Mac too.

I have deleted the .aex file that was within AE CC 2021 / Plug-ins / VCColorVibrance_ 

and now it works perfectly THANK YOU SO MUCH

[defaultlkeh5g0rva80]

Does anyone have any different ideas or solutions? Even though the Vibrance plugin does pop up in After Effects, I can't seem to find it in files...no VCColorVibrance or anything containing Vibrance. I don't know why, but the only file containing .aex is Glitchify.aex.
