BCC5 for AE CS4 file errors
I get an error when I load After Effects CS4 as it tries to initialize BCC5 saying “After Effects error: making file specification – file not found (43)” It does this to every plug-in in the BCC5 package. I’ve moved all the plug in files to the mediacore folder.
I have the most current OSX 10.5.5
Also, is there a correct way to uninstall BCC5?
Thanks!

Hi,
Did you use the latest version of the BCC 5 installer? We recently uploaded a newer version that includes an install target specifically for CS4. I would like to suggest that you download the latest version and re-install the product. BCC 5 is compatible with CS4 so you should not be getting those errors.
Regarding the uninstallation of the product … you are on a Mac so this must be done manually, ie, by performing a search for BCC 5 and then deleting the plugs that are listed in the search result.
Cheers,
Peter.

Thank you for your response. I downloaded it only 2 days ago. It did have the ability to target CS4, so I guess it’s the latest download – and that’s not the problem. Thanks again.

Okay – it was the first thing that came to mind but apparently that wasn’t it. If you can, please contact our support department at support@borisfx.com and a tech will work with you to get your system up and running.
Cheers,

Hello,
I am having the same issue on my when trying to install BCC 5.0.1 on my MacPro running AE CS4.
I have tried transfering the plug-ins to the MediaCore folder as advised by the tech support @boris. I am still waiting to hear from them again.
Was there a fix found and if so, what was it ?
Thank you !

No resolution yet! They did suggest installing to the desktop and transfering the files manually, to the plug-in folders. Haven’t tried that yet. Littlle faith in this prospect though.

I just tried reinstalling BCC from scratch but this time, I selected CS4 and Custom Install at the same time.
The CS4 installer always put the BCC plugins in the Application/AE CS4/plugins folder for me, not the MediaCore.
So I selected the Mediacore folder as destination for the Custom Install and the only message I got when opening AE CS4 was that I had duplicates plugins … but the BCCs loaded just fine !
I then quit AE, deleted the plugins in the App/AE/plugins folder (keeping the ones in MediaCore) and restarted AE and they seem to be working fine. (did 2 test exports)
