  • AE Scripts denied despite troubleshooting

    Posted by Bedhead77 on October 19, 2022 at 12:28 pm

    THE ISSUE:

    When trying to run AE Scripts I get the following series of error messages – resulting in the script not being able to open/run:

    1. After Effects warning: ERROR: Access is denied
    2. extComms error, TypeError: undefined is not an object
    3. After Effects warning: ERROR: Access is denied
    4. Unable to execute script at line 1012. undefined is not an object

    COMPUTER DETAILS:

    Processor: AMD Ryzen 7 3700X 8-Core Processor, 3600 Mhz, 8 Core(s), 16 Logical Processor(s)

    OS: MS Windows 11 Home

    Ram: 64GB

    AE VERSIONS:

    I’ve tried version AE 22.0 to 23.0

    WHAT I HAVE ALREADY TRIED:

    1. After Effects Versions: I have tried all versions from 22.0 to the current release of 23.0 – same result

    2. I’ve enabled “Allow Scripts to write files and access network” — enabled JavaScript Debugger, enabled “Expression Pick Whip Writes Compact English” and “Show Warning Banner When Project Contains Expression Errors”

    3. Disabled the home screen

    4. I wiped my computer clean and did a fresh install — from the OS to the applications.

    5. I’ve disabled the anti-virus and firewall protection

    I’ve run out of solutions and don’t know why this is happening. Can someone help? Thanks!

    For anyone else who might have this issue, the workaround i discovered was using older scripts. For whatever reason, new scripts (newer versions of scripts) would not load in AE.
