Hello,
Really tried searching for this, but can’t seem to find the answer. I have the latest ExtendScript by Adobe with a clean install of MS VisualCode. I have the latest After Effects installed, and I’m running on OS X Big Sur.
Problem: I can’t select After Effects as the target. The option is not available. Any advice?

I have never used MS VisualCode for this type of purpose. Perhaps you need to go into after effects and select project settings. There is an expressions tab in the window that opens. Change it from Javascript to Extendscript, or vise versa. You could also open preferences under the edit menu. Go to the Scripting/Expressions Tab and select the tab that says Allow Scripts to Write Files and Access Network. Worth a try on both, but not sure if either is the right solution.

I did some digging around in the Adobe After Effects Scripting Documentation and found supporting documentation for one of my offered suggestions. I have attached a screen shot for your reference. Hope this was the right solution to your issue. Let me know either way please.
