  • Windows:

    • Adobe\<Adobe After Effects 2020>\Support Files\Scripts\ScriptUI Panels.

  • macOS:

    • Applications/Adobe After Effects CC 2019/Scripts/ScriptUI Panels


*Note: If you can't find the folder, you can create a folder with the name "ScriptUI Panels".


2. Copy "Cartoon Animator - AE Script.jsx" into the folder.


3. Restart After Effects, and navigate to Windows> "Cartoon Animator - AE Script.jsx" . Click on it, then a panel will appear. You can dock the panel in your workspace in AE.


NOTE:
  1. To avoid compatibility issues, please do not use the original AE script and the AE script 2.0 we provided in this beta program on the same project at the same time.
  2. If you use CTA v4.5 Beta ver. to export JSON files, you cannot use the original AE script (v.1.01) is not compatible with the exported JSON file, you need to install AE script (v.2.0) provided in this beta program
  3. In the meantime, the JSON file exported from CTA 4.4 is not compatible with AE script v.2.0, therefore, do NOT overwrite the original AE script (v.1.01) with AE script (v.2.0).

Hi Mohammed, 

If you have this problem, please refer to this article:
https://helpdeskgeek.com/windows-10/how-to-fix-a-vcruntime140-dll-is-missing-error-on-windows-10/
I believe you will need to re-install or update the Microsoft Visual C++ Installation.

Thanks!

Found a couple of problems:

External Image Editor launcher is not working. I have set the correct program in Preferences (in fact, tried two: Affinity photo and GIMP which I use successfully on my regular CA4). When I click to launche it, the load screen starts then it disappears. On GIMP it had many error messages before it froze. I also have Photopea installed but it wouldn't use that, either.

Launch PSD editor is not working, similar to above.

EDITED: Sorry, my bad. The editor has to be open and running before hitting launch in this version (not so in 4.4). Works doing this.

I cannot reproduce your issue.
Could you give me more information such as recording a video?

您能給我更多信息,例如錄製視頻嗎?

Everything installed and worked flawlessly so far. Have tried the exported .mov files into Premiere and After Effects (CC2020), and have had no issues as of yet. Will do a multiple object sequence and see how the it goes.

Worked with PowerDirector 18 and Corel Video Studio 2021, only after downloading and installing QuickTime on my PC.
No more having to make my background green and exported from CTA4 ,to be chroma keyed in my video editors.

Thanks

Thank you for your testing,
You also can try to export the whole scene by isolate selection that will quick to set up your whole scene in your external post-production tool.

Hello everyone. When I run the AE script (ver. 2) in AE 2019, it gives the following error:https://forum.reallusion.com/uploads/images/624d50ab-635f-4baf-a3b3-e56c.bmp
AE 2020 and AE 2021 all work well. What could it be? Is there a problem only with AE 2019?

Hi cinema.do

Could you help me to try this version?

Unfortunately no. AE 2019 shows an error. Only the error number has changed. But in AE 2020, this script works well.
