Hey there,
i have a problem importing shapes from illustrator to AE via overlord... I only got a path made and no rectangle parameters as roundness, etc...
Is there a way to fix this around? Does an update from after effects 2022 buggy-messy? or... Am i doing something wrong ? Thank you... this has a lot to do with my workflow.
Thank you!
Correct answer David Arbor

Yes I did also, and the convert shapes by Martinez send me a Unable to execute script at line 28. & doesn't have a value.

that's it.


My guess is that you tried to download Kyle Martinez's script by right-clicking and saving the link, but you instead saved an HTML file. Create a new file in a plain text editor and copy the code from this page, saving the file with a .jsx extension: https://github.com/kyletmartinez/Convert-Shapes/blob/main/Convert%20Shapes.jsx

 

Alternatively, you should be able to right-click the "Raw" button at the top and choose "Save Link As." If you open the downloaded script file in a plain text editor and the code mentions HTML and doesn't match the code on GitHub, then the script was downloaded incorrectly.

Do you have the "Detect Parametric" button selected? Check out the attached screenshot to see where that is in the panel.

Morning! I just updated to the latest version of Ae and Ai (not beta) on MacOS and now Overlord doesn't seem to work. I press the buttons and nothing happens. Is anyone else finding this to be an issue?


When scripts, extensions, or plug-ins break after installing an AE update, it's always practice to see if you have the latest version of your tool. Overlord is on v1.24 and I'm running the latest version of AE and AI in both beta and public and it works fine.

What version are you running? To see if it's the latest, go into the Settings via the flyout menu (in either panel of Overlord, it doesn't matter) and click the big "Check for Updates" button.
