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.

If you ever get the "Internal verification failure, sorry! (Resource fork usage has been deprecated) error message.
on a Mac within the Finder windwo navigate to Applications (your Aftereffects folder) Plug-ins/Presets/Scripts folders. 

If you have any [.aex] files and you are running a Mac [.aex] is for windows and need to be removed (I recommend moving/ relocating them to a folder away from the Plug-ins/Presets/Scripts folders instead of delting them altogether)

    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.

     @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

      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.

      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.

      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.

      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.

      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.

      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.
