I do want to point out that the Save CDL script works without any issues! ... View more

All you would see are the simplest of steps that you outlined, and then I get that error. I am running macOS 15.3.1 - so maybe that has something to do with it? I have not seen this issue with any other scripts. ... View more

Even when doing those steps, it gives me that error. Although I have to apply it to an adjustment layer for my current project.  I'm running the latest After Effects version (2025) on a Mac. ... View more

I had to change the extension to xml, as this site won't let me load any zip files or anything with a cdl extension... If you rename the extension to cdl - that's what I was working with!   Thank you! ... View more

Hi! I love the idea of this, but I keep getting the error "TypeError: null is not an object" after selecting a CDL file.   I have the CDL plug-in selected when I do that, so not sure what else to do!   Thank you!   Hey guys, I've got a free CDL plug-in available at fnord.com. This one exposes the CDL values as sliders so you can set them yourself or using scripting. It includes AE scripts for reading values from a CDL file or writing out a new one from your settings.

That's perfect! Exactly what I was looking for.   Thank you, so much, Mathias. I truly appreciate you sending me all these. ... View more

I'm so sorry, I'm really struggling with making that adjustment. I don't need to do anything as complex as creating or duplicating a whole new comp. I'm just wanting to take the one selected footage, in the current comp, trim the start and end, and make the comp the duration of that, plus one at the head for the slate. ... View more

(corrected unclear grammar)   Hi!   I'm sorry, I loaded this up and realized I wasn't clear in what I was requesting, and I wasn't able to take that and figure it out.   I currently have a comp I use as a template, so I do not want a brand new comp created, but would like the comp I have pre-made to have it's duration shorter without handles, leaving one frame at the beginning for a slate.   What I have now is a "pre-made" comp, which has a very long duration, because I don't know how long the duration needs to be. I drop footage into my "pre-made" comp, so it is automatically the top layer (the default for After Effects, as I'm sure you know) What I would like to do is take the footage, which is already selected, by default, and remove 40 frame handles from either side, shift that footage inside the comp "to the right", by one, leaving the first frame for a slate, and then make that current comp the new duration of the comp, plus one for the slate. Then take that footage, with handles removed and put that into a pre-comp. Hopefully, that makes sense. Thank you, so much, for your time and help.  ... View more

Obviously, very happy that they have since implemented the OCIO wokflow, but so disappointed that they have still not updated the grain plug-in. I THINK Adobe knows After Effects is being used in a professional, high-end environment, so I'm still not sure what it happening, here.   Does ANYONE know how to contact Adobe about this? I don't know why this seems to not be even a low-priority, and being completely ignored after all these years of updates. ... View more

Is there a certain number of upvotes that need to happen before Adobe looks into these kinds of things? I was really hoping with the number of releases since I first posted this, plus they seem to be pushing for industry standard color spaces, etc, this would be something they would want to address. In my opinion, this is the best add grain plugin as far as functionality goes, but it is still 16-bit, and not mult-render compatible or GPU accelerated. Even just 32-bit would help as a stop-gap. ... View more

Unfortunately, paying $31/month for BorisFX Sapphire solely for accurate grain doesn't make sense for me, and no one shold have to do that, either. I have no use for anything else in that package. I'm really hoping someday they just correct what is built-in to After Effects. It's already there, it just needs to be updated. ... View more

Great! Thank you! ... View more

Sorry, I'm having a difficult time recreating what you are showing here. Even the first block, I don't know how you made it say "with: my layer".   Is there a way I could download what you've built there?   Thank you for your time. ... View more

That worked! And that will also be helpful in the future when I run into similar automations.   Thank you, again! ... View more

I've never been a fan of the 50% gray solid method, but I appreciate the suggestion. I was hoping to have a solution other than to have to use three adjustment layers (or the 50% gray solids), and use just one plug-in that recreates the accuracy of what I could get from the built-in Add Grain plug-in - which has more parameters than any other grain plug-in I've encountered. From what I can tell, the Renoiser work-around seems like it will accomplish what I'm looking for, for the time being. ... View more

Being that clicking the refresh button is not useful to me because the comp names will always be different, how would I disable or enable specific effects in a layer, when I won't know ahead of time what the comp name is? I realized the method I used alters ALL the effects on a layer, but there is one effect I would like to start off as disabled. ... View more

Thank you for the extra tips! ... View more

Fantastic! That worked! Thank you! ... View more

Actually, I did come up with a workaround with Renoiser - I have to set the grain amount to a much lower number, with the highlight set to zero, and then max out the shadow amount... Not great, but hopefully this will be addressed in a Renoiser update. Setting something to zero should make it so that there is zero grain applied, I would think. ... View more

Unfortunately, neither one of those grain plugins have the right amount (or any in the case of Boris Continuum) of control over the tonal range of the image. Continuum doesn't allow for any control, whatsoever, of applying the grain according to highlights, midtones or shadows. Renoiser from Maxon doesn't allow for the range that I need in those three areas. Even when I set all three of those ranges to zero, there is still grain in the image, when there should be none. When I set the application setting of highlights, midtones and shadows to zero in the built-in AE plug-in, there is no grain, which is how it SHOULD work.   That's why I was hoping that Adobe would just address the 32-bit issue, at least, with their built-in plugin.   Rick, maybe I'm missing something, but if there is some workaround that you can think of to fix Maxon's Red Giant's Renoiser plug-in, that would be great! ...
