After Effects error: Unable to call “setValue”

[Madbtr]

Hello! Thanks for creating this great utility, it really helps with my work. Describe the bug Unfortunately, whenever I try to transfer some of my frames from Figma I get this error: Error: After Effects error: Unable to call “setValue” because of parameter 1. Value is undefined. Error on line: 979

I have tried restarting my computer, restarting AE, reinstalling the plugin, detaching instances, and even renaming layers. But it still throws this error.

Expected behavior Transfer frames and create hierarchy of compositions based on grouping while preserving relationships between different elements.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: Mac OS, Ventura 13.1
• AE 2021 18.4.1 (Build 4)
• Figma 116.5.18

I've been having the exact same issue as well, in my case I found that having layers/rectangles/frames with individual strokes applied breaks the export, I assume no AE support for individual strokes.

Try removing layers with individual strokes and/or using a line instead.

@polyrenn Thanks a lot for pointing that out! Really helps to understand this.

So to repeat this bug you must have a shape or a frame, with a custom stroke. For example 0px at the left and bottom and 1px at the top and right sides. Exporting such a frame will cause this error. Hope it will be helpful to others.

Hi, I'm trying to use AEUX but I keep getting the error  "After Effects error: Unable to call "setValue" because of parameter 1. Value is undefined. Error on line: 979 " Sadly, in my case, I have no stroke at all in the Frame I want to send to AE. Do you know what can cause this error?  Could it be due to absolute positioning inside the autolayout? Or maybe a large nesting of autolayout in autolayout? I tried to send all the components of this frame separately - they send fine to AE, but not together (on one frame of the first level, it gives an error).

For prototyping, usually always try the simplest possible configuration. It's possible newer Figma features may break the export. Send your nested frames individually, you may be able to figure out what's causing it to break
