Plugin loading issue

[r2d3_]

Hello,

I have a PremierePro plugin (macOS arm64/x86_64) that loads/works OK in Premiere. I am now trying to use/debug it for use in AfterEffects.

In "Plugin Loading.log", it seems to load OK (see log excerpt below) but then it is not shown in the UI, nor in "Effect | Manage Effects..." nor in "Effect" menu.

If I load it from an other program, dependencies seems to be there, signature is OK. Perhaps, there is an issue with the PiPL resources (they are close to the Checkout sample ones) or a missing entry point (I have EffectMain, PluginDataEntryFunction2 and xGPUFilterEntry).

If I reset the preferences and launch AE under a Debugger, I hit PluginDataEntryFunction2 so it is loading.

Thanks in advance.

David

So the problem was an incorrect entry in the Info.plist

I was missing

  <key>CFBundlePackageType</key>
  <string>eFKT</string>
  <key>CFBundleSignature</key>
  <string>FXTC</string>
