  AE 6.5 and Invig. Classic

  Posted by Amber :) on July 26, 2005 at 3:38 pm

  I am still having problems with Invigorator Classic. I have downloaded the latest version and I’m still ending up with the following problems:

  1. AE crashes while “invoking effect plug-in ‘3D Invigorator'”
  2. After selecting the file to ‘invigorate’, nothing shows up in either the scene pvw or the viewer window. I have to try to import the file multiple times before it works correctly.
  3. If by chance Invigorator does work like it should, I am still having problems with saving the file and then re-opening it, only to find that “missing file data” error message. My project is there, the animations are there, I can’t open options on the effects window, I can’t reload the file…pretty much all the work I did is lost.

  I don’t have any of these problems when I’m just working in After Effects. It only happens when using the Invig. I’m getting frustrated. I want to be able to take advantage of the product that we purchased. It has a lot of power, but the bugs are stressing me out right now.

  Any solutions for this? I’m at a loss….

  Thanks,
  Amber

  Hi Amber.

  You’re using v3.1.1, correct? Are you on the Mac or the PC?

  Can you tell me what you mean by “invoking effect plug-in 3D Invigorator?”
  Do you mean that you get a crash when you apply the Invig effect to a layer?

  Also, can you send me the file you’re trying to Invigorate? I’d like to take a look.

  Thanks a lot.

  Hi Matt,

  You’re using v3.1.1, correct? Yes.

  Are you on the Mac or the PC? Mac dual 2.5 OS 10.3.9

  Can you tell me what you mean by “invoking effect plug-in 3D Invigorator?” Do you mean that you get a crash when you apply the Invig effect to a layer? Sorry, that was the smartmouth coming out in me. That’s correct, though. I randomly get a crash when I apply the Invig. effect to a solid layer. Also, sometimes the file imports correctly with the effect, some times it doesn’t.

  Also, can you send me the file you’re trying to Invigorate? I’d like to take a
  look. I certainly can. Just tell me where to email it.

  Thanks for your help, Matt. I appreciate it!

  I should add that this was the error message that popped up when the AfterEffects crashed while trying to apply the effect to a layer.

  “After Effects has crashed while invoking effect plug-in 3D Invigorator?”
