  • Making Presets – After Effects error: internal verification failure, sorry! {unexpected match name in group} (29 :: 0)

    Posted by Bijan Sam on February 7, 2015 at 1:00 am

    I am attempting at making a preset for myself, because I want to speed up the time it takes to make and add effects to layers.
    I began by using an online generator to generate my preset shell (the outline of the preset). I then took the code it gave me, and
    pasted it into my PresetEffects.xml (C:\Program Files\Adobe\After Effects CC 2014\Support Files\PresetEffects.xml) and when I went
    into After effects CC, I opened up the script editor (File>Scripts>Open Script Editor), then I pasted my import java code:

    app.project.activeItem.layer(1).effect.addProperty("Audio_Waveform_Wheel");

    When I press the “Run” button, something happens, then on my after effects a pop up message comes up saying:
    After Effects error: internal verification failure, sorry! {unexpected match name in group} (29 :: 0)

    When I press OK, it just opens up again. My software also looks a little messed up. What is going on?

    How do I fix this issue?

    Install the most recent update. You are using an out-of-date version of After Effects.

    Hey! I was wondering if I am able to do it with any version of after effects? Or do I need the latest to make presets?

    For example, can I use Adobe After Effects CS5.5 to make presets? Or will it crash as well?

    You should be able to make presets in other versions. Todd was just saying that the version you were using needed to be updated to fix bugs.
