Sure Target 2 not working in After Effects CC 2014
Hi,
I have a video here that shows what I’m talking about: https://youtu.be/URZmlNqqftw
I’m unable to get Sure Target 2 to work on my mac. I am using After Effects CC. I can get Sure Target’s dolly’s to work, but the targeting itself doesn’t work. I also feel like it’s hard to find Sure Target to download online. Do you all no longer make Sure Target? Is it discontinued?
Currently I have my Sure Target plugin located in Applications/Adobe After Effects CC 2014/Plug-ins. When I try to use it, I get the following error message:
“After Effects warning: effect named ‘Sure Target’ is missing or does not exist. It may have been renamed, moved, deleted, or the name may have been mistyped. A property expressing referencing it was disabled.
‘Position’ (line 1) of layer 1 (‘Null 15’) in comp ‘Ice Cream, Balloon, Color Wheel'”
I can get this error message to go away if I move the Sure Target plugin file into Applications/Adobe After Effects CC 2014/Plug-ins/Effects, however, it simply doesn’t work. The dolly function works, but the targeting doesn’t work at all.

Those questions are better put to the Video Copilot folks than to us here on Creative COW.

Are you applying suretarget to a 3D null named “SureTarget”?
It works for me, see:

Yes, I am. Thanks for sending that project file. Your project worked fine for me. I can also create a new project on my computer and suretarget works fine there as well. It’s just in this one particular project of mine. I have been racking my brain over this for 24 hours. Driving me nuts!!! I feel like I have troubleshooted almost everything!

Noted.

As mentioned in another thread, I often have to create two target layers to make SureTarget work correctly…but sometimes not. I have never found the rhyme or reason for the difference, but give that a shot.
