  • Adobe update MESSED up Boris

    Posted by Itamar Kool on November 17, 2007 at 8:18 pm

    Downloaded the update today from Adobe for my Adobe porgrams and now all the Boris applications (Boris Calligraphy and BCC4) for Final Cut Pro and After Effects have been messed up!! They won’t appear in FCP anymore. And in After Effects CS (where I use BCC 5), I get a cross over the screen. When I reenter the unlock code it says that it is invalid!!
    Disastrous upgrade from Adobe!!!

    did you install an update (like ae8.0 to 8.0.1) or an upgrade (like from ae7 to ae cs3)?

    if it was an upgrade to cs3, check the boris site for compatibility with cs3 and intel-macs… an update may be required….

    if it was an update, the only thing i can think of would be to reinstall the effects.

    but that’s the crazy thing: the plug ins are there all right and functioning ok. Only the cross over them. And when I fill in the unlock code that has worke before, it now says, that the code is invalid. Downloading the plug ins again, would mean another serial number, which would mean also another unlock code. reinstalling in Final Cut pro hasn’t worked either by the way!!

    have you tried to contact boris?

    it seems strange that an adobe update or upgrade would effect fcp at all, maybe it is something else. was fcp upgraded too, or anything else…?

    Yes I have and also my reseller over here in Holland with a a very extensive mail about what happened. I have had no replies yet. I am completley dumbfounded. You may be right that it wasn’t the Adobe update. I just don’t know. What’s also strange is that I reinstalled BCC 4 in FCP and also the patch that makes it work with Mac Intel, but then the plug appear as ‘unix executable files’, meaning that the Mac doens’t know what they mean. Also Title 3D which is from Boris and which comes natively with FCP is not recognized anymore. It is a complete mystery. Apart from that my computer works OK.
