Great tool – thank you! What would make it even cooler would be the ability to fade in and out audio levels… PLEASE, PLEASE!
I am glad you and your family are safe. I have Japanese friends that I am worried about.
I am cautious to make any conclusions. But I updated several other scripts and kd_AutoFade is working again for me.
Takumi, we are very saddened for the tragedy in Japan this week. We support you in your country’s struggles.
I just wanted to thank you.
Me and my family haven’t damaged directly.
But the damage Japan got was really huge.
We are also making preparations for other earthquakes.
I feel easy to hear that the script is working again.
But I’m going to continue checking it to satisfy myself.
Sorry for late response and having trouble.
And I was grateful using kd_AutoFade.
I’m testing include compatibility with other scripts.
But the problem doesn’t occur on my PC.
I’ll continue investigating and checking Adobe script’s specification.
So please be patient and wait to solve.
If you notice something new, please let know me.
I’ll check comments here.
David, if you read the comments you’ll see my similar plight.
I get the impression that Takumi is very busy and might not have time to support the product. I’d love for someone else to pick up the banner and run with it. I do not at all mean that as a criticism. He sure came up with a great concept and a very useful script.
I love this script. I use it every day at work on my Windows computer. I can’t get it to work on my MacPro at home office. Any suggestions? I downloaded version 1.3 and it didn’t work. I had an earlier version but it will not work, too. I am using AE CS5, MacPro, Snow Leopard 10.6.6. This is a great time saving script and really would like to have it working on both systems. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
Llyod,
It’s such a silent death…it’s hard to trace…and every time I “fix” the problem, it’s only a few work sessions before it re-occurs.
I suspected a compatibility problem with ft_toolbar for these reasons:
1. It was about the time that I installed the toolbar that kd_AutoFade started to fail.
2. Last night by pulling just that one script (ft-Toolbar) then AutoFade worked again.
I have not created any AutoFade buttons, nor integrated kd_Autofade with other scripts.
It appears I’m talking to myself in these comments, LOL. But I’ve got 80 minutes of training animations to complete and I find this script remarkably useful. It stopped working yet again.
My current suspicion is that one compatibility problem is with these two:
kd_autofade
and
ft-Toolbar
Sorry you are having trouble. Just tested kd_AutoFade with ft_Toolbar on Mac CS5 here without any problems. Can you tell us more about how you are working? Are you triggering AutoFade from a button in ft_Toolbar? If so how are you setting up your button in toolbar?
Takumi, I have disabled 3/4 of my scripts so that I can successfully resume working with kd_AutoFade.
Your script is more valuable to me right now than 15 of my favorite scripts combined….
It’s a pity that something is broken with compatibility still somewhere …but oh well…mathias, Alvarez and the others are going to have wait to get mac in my pipeline.
I’d love to give you a happy report…but it’s still dead. It shows up in my layout just like before. It returns no error message. It just does….nothing, no matter the settings selected.
Stopped working again. Arghh.
Please download the new version just posted, should fix the compatibility problem with other scripts.
I got it working again, but don’t know if this is only a temporary solution.
I took 20% of my script out and re-launched. It didn’t work.
I took another 20% of my script out and re-launched. It didn’t work.
I took another 20% of my script out and re-launched. It didn’t work.
I took another 20% of my script out and re-launched. It worked!
I returned 20% scripts back and re-launched. It still worked.

I don’t know if there is a specific script that is incompatible with your script. I don’t know what the problem was. But that’s how I fixed it for now.
Strangest thing…all my other (many) scripts are working fine…but the kd_AutoFade, which I’ve fallen in love with…just stopped working last week. I’d sure love a fix so I can return to using it habitually.
Thank you for reporting.
I’ll research it.
Could you try remove other scripts which you installed from ScriptUI folder?
Perhaps it will work again.
But it is temporarily solution.
Can anyone suggest a cause/solution…
I have been using and enjoying kd_autoFade for several months. Tonight it stopped working. I have re-started the program…but nothing seems to work.
Suggestions?
Yes, I would like to see auto fade of audio too!
Is possible to include AUDIO LEVELS FADE in the next version?
very very usefull!
thanks for sharing!
And I tried it in CS5 English edition.
It’s ok.
Yes. It works for CS5.
But I tried it only Japanese language edition in CS5.
Does this work for CS5?
Yes, the demo movie was created in CS5. Just added the compatibility icons.
