Request for Help with Microphone Integration in After Effects Panel‏‏

Report · Apr 21, 2025

I hope you are all doing well.

I'm reaching out to share that I’ve completed the development of the Voice Animator Pro tool. Everything is working smoothly, except for one remaining issue that I haven’t been able to resolve.

The microphone functionality and speech recognition within the After Effects CEP panel aren’t working as expected. From what I’ve gathered, enabling mic access inside the AE environment is not as straightforward as it seems, and I’m unsure how to properly support it within the current panel setup.

I’d really appreciate it if you could take a look and help me solve this problem.

Looking forward to your guidance.

Are you developing for macOS, Windows, or both?

On macOS you likely have to explicitly let the OS know that it can access the user's microphone. System Settings > Privacy & Security > Screen & System Audio Recording and then add After Effects and turn it on. On Windows, I'm not sure if that is needed.

I might be totally off on this, but just offering a place to start investigating.
