  • What has changed from Invigorator AE 3.0.7 to 4.0.6?

    Posted by Bruce on May 16, 2006 at 1:46 pm

    A few years ago I made a project in After Effects 6.0 with version 3.0.7 of the Invigorator plug-in. Recently I tried to open those files with After Effects 7.0 and the 4.0.6 version of the Invigorator plug-in. The projects always crash the program and I get an error message regarding the Invigorator plug-in. After much frustration I took our old plug-in and loaded it to AE 7.0 and took out the newer plug-in. The project loaded up perfectly without crashing the machine. Why will the new plug-in not work with the older layouts? This will become frustrating to me if I have to put the older plug-in back into AE everytime I load an old layout. Any answers would be helpful!

    Hi Bruce.

    Would you mind sending me your project file? I’d like to take a look.
    It looks like we’re trouble loading in the v3 project.

    To answer your question, a lot changed between v3 and v4. In particular,
    we now keep all of our swatches (Materials, Object Styles, etc.) in separate
    file folders so that each plug-in can share the same set of swatches.
    When loading a v3 file, we extract the swatches and put them on your disk.

    If you can send me your project, send it to: matt@zaxwerks.com
    I don’t need media files — just the .aep file.
    I’d like to see if I can duplicate your problem.

    Thanks.
