Script failure in Adobe After Effects since version 22.0.1 #16

Closed FrederikChristiani closed 2 years ago

FrederikChristiani commented 2 years ago

I'm getting "Unable to execute script at line 15489. Bad argument".

I have tested with AE version 22.0.1, 22.1.1, 22.2 and 22.4 on windows and also AE version 22.2.1 on macOS.

Commenting out the lines 15489-15490 helps.

Hi, Thanks for the report. We'll need more details: What version of DuIO is it? What were you trying to do/export/import when the error occured? What file type was it? If you could even post the file being exported/imported that'd help tackle the issue more quickly.

Thanks.

I used DuIO version 2.1.0. I wasn't even trying to import anything, just running the script gives me the error. Either via "File/Scripts/Run script file..." or installed in "..../Support Files/Scripts/ScriptUI", in which case the error shows up when I start After Effects.

Thanks, I'll have a look into that ASAP

I've found the issue: you have to allow scripts to write files. Go to the preferences of After Effects, and in the "scripts and expressions" section, check the box "Allow scripts to write files and access network" Then restarting DuIO should work.

This should be explained in the doc or DuIO should display some info about it; that will be the case in the next version.

Thanks, that does indeed fix it.
