After Effects JSON File Import Not Working

Post by maydaywray »

Hello!

I'm having issues working between TVPaint and After Effects. The JSON file exports from TVPaint without issues, when I run the script in After Effects I receive an error. After selecting "OK", a blank window opens.

I'm opening the script while in "Default" workspace. The issue began recently, I've been using the script for some time without previous issues.

I'm on Mac Big Sur 11.2.2, After Effect 2021 V 18.0.0.

Any help is much appreciated!

I wonder if it is After Effect 2021 V 18.0.0 that broke the script? Did you just recently update to V 18.0.0? The reason I ask is because I'm running After Effect 2021 V 17.6.0 on Mac OS 10.14 Mojave and the JSON import script still works. Is going back to v.17.6.0 still an option for you on Big Sur (compatibility?) or do you require features in v.18.0.0 that aren't available in 17.6.0?

Thanks for your fast reply

I've been using the latest AE on my Mac for 22 days with no issues loading the script. I rolled back to see if that would fix the problem but I'm still receiving the error in 17.7 (I'm not seeing an option to rollback further to 17.6 through the Creative Cloud app or site, something I'm missing?).

I have a Windows computer as well and tested the script again there, it's working fine on the latest AE, I did notice Windows' latest AE is V 18.0.1 (VS build V 18.0.0 on Mac).

My PC is a Mobile Studio Pro 16 running Windows 10 Pro V 10.0.19042 if that's helpful info.

I've found the solution... I somehow started running an older version of the script on my Mac :lol:

When running the latest script (this one is called "AfterEffects Import TVPaint JSON", the old one is "TVP Import" all works fine in the latest Ae. I've removed the old one from my scriptUI folder entirely so there's no more mixup.

Thanks for your help :)
