  • Live trace batch problem when trying to complete afx cartoon tut.

    Im using Windows XP pro and I have After effects 7.0 and Illustrator CS2. However, when I got to the part where I have to batch process the cartoon color images using Adobe Bridge, it failed to do so. When I selected all the images and went to Tools > Illustrator > Live Trace (and selected the necessary folder where I have to save the files),and then hit the OK button, nothing happened. The Live trace dialog box disappeared and it brought me back to the Adobe Bridge with all the cartoon color images still selected. I checked back the LiveTrace_AI.jsx part in the video tutorial to see if I followed it correctly and it seemed ok.

    First try restoring the backup copy of the LiveTrace_AI.jsx file you made. You did make a backup, right? Make sure it works with that, though you can only process 10 files at a time until you edit the script.

    If that works, follow the directions to edit the script again. My guess is that you left a typo in it.
