Fx Factory and After effect crash

[Walter Soyka]

[Maik Diederen] “After i install FXfactory 2.1.3 i can uses the plugins in FCP. There a no problems.When i open after effects after 3 seconds it crashes with a lot of threads.
When i uninstall FX Factory, after effects runs perfect. I don’t need FX factory in After effects only in FCP.”

FxFactory 2.1.3 is outdated. The current release is 2.5. Upgrading might solve your problem.

I did and that didn’t solve my problem. 🙁

Something else is clearly wrong with your system if AE is crashing every time it tries to start FxFactory. Have you tried restoring AE’s default preferences?

In a pinch, you could manually remove the FxFactory plugins, though this may not solve the underlying issue that’s causing your crash. Look in Macintosh HD > Library > Application Support > Adobe > Common > Plug-ins > (pick your version of AE) > MediaCore, and you should find two files for FxFactory: FxFactory.plugin and ImporterFxFactory.bundle.

Thank you Thank you Thank You,

I removed manual the plugins in after effects like you said. After effects runs again only when i activate AE
load16 plugins with the message: THE PLUGIN COULD NOT BE LOADED. Is there a way to erase these plugisns from AE ?

Thanks!!!!!

Regads, Maik

As I suggested earlier — it may not be FxFactory that’s causing the problem. Have you rebuilt the AE preferences?

I’m sorry for this late reply, i was on a holiday.
I did what you said en i rebuild the preferences in AE. The same problem is still there and AE loads 16 plugins from FX fac and tells me that they could not be loaded.
