Since it seems that there is still no solution to the problem where multiple plugins of yours together result in a crash and where only one of them works (depending on which one has been installed last), here is a temporary solution:
Since it seems that the core files of the plugins are located in "Program Files\Blace Plugins", the fix is that instead the installer creates another folder for each plugin in that program files location where within these core files for each individual plugin exist. Then when the plugin is called in after effects, it looks for these core files in these specific folders, resolving the crashes.
Example folder structure:
Blace Plugins \ MaskPrompter
Blace Plugins \ DepthScanner
If Mask Prompter is called, it looks in "BlacePlugins\MaskPrompter". If DepthScanner, "BlacePlugins\Depthscanner".
This isn't the best solution as these core files are heavy in size, but it would resolve the very common crash problem (as it seems) for the time being and would satisfy your customers that have paid you.

So can we apply this fix ourselves? We should make those sub folders in the program files folder?
I have been trying for weeks to have this application work. The website www.blaceplugins.com doesn't seem to be online and everytime I try and download this application I just get nothing. What gives?

Hey,
please open a support ticket. This is probably due to some firewall settings.

No, this was just a (well thought) proposal, but won't work. We'll have a permanent solution soon.
Hey, I just purchased the plugin, but the installation proces gets stuck. Already rebooted my computer a few times, but it gets stuck exactly on the same place in the loading bar every time. Help would be appreciated.

After Effects - 23.6.2 Build 5, Crashes when choosing the Mask 1, Tried pretty much everything else with no success. Uninstalled and reinstalled the plugin. I should point out that I'm very much up to date with all things CUDA, as well as the Toolkit,... ComdyUI/Stable Diffusion User here... I only bring that up because something leads me to believe there may be some Stable Diffusion Clip Vision, or Segmentation under the hood of the plugin.

I tried this plugin before purchase and it crashes on vanilla after effects v.24.1.0 and latest Nvidia drivers. If this is reliable enough I'll deff consider buying it.

Hey, what error do you get?
I apologize for not opening a ticket as this is an urgent issue. When I try to install all blace's plugins through the manager, it fails to install because there is no installer.

I am, but unfortunately, when I do that, the aescripts manager shows it as not installed, at all. So, it's constantly showing up as a plugin that needs to be installed/updated. The Blace plugins are the only ones showing this. Is this something that is planned on being addressed? I have five of your plugins, and without this fix, I will constantly need to manually download and install updates each time any of the five plugins get updated.

Reading comments ... fascinating. Installer is obviously a piece of s...t, process doesn't work, and ... no fix .
Hey, unfortunately we have a bug on some MacOS systems, where the model file cannot be loaded. We are working on this with high priority. Please follow the products updates.
Hi - I am running 1.14.3 in AE 24.3 and anytime I try to mask either with point, masks, or prompts AE immediately crashes .. I have uninstalled and reinstalled - any thoughts?
Hello, I am new to this plugin but I am having an issue that I need to fix.
I recently filmed something where I wore aviator goggles that were reflecting the green screen I was standing in front of so I am trying to rotoscope the goggles and add a spill suppressor to fix the reflection as per a friend's advice. I bought this plugin to automatically mask out the goggles (no pun intended) since After Effects' Roto Brush tool was creating a lot of errors, but now whenever I try to use this plugin I see this weird yellow vertical line that I can't seem to get rid of (as well as a blue diagonal line that shows up whenever I load the plugin). What can I do to fix this?

Please note that your new Installer for MacOS (version 1.14.4) reports a release date of 'JAN / 1 / 1970' and can NO longer be managed from the 'aescipt+aeplugins' installation app (it was very convenient).
I have concept buddy and maskprompter installed but i can't use both in the same AE project. I've to close after and use one per project restarting when i switch. can you fix that?
hello i've bought the plugin. trying to make a matte is really fast (4090) but my 24 gb of video memory get used and seems to never be free so my video mem is saturated quickly and it became really slow to the point it show artefacts on screen. i've to restart after effects to free the video memory

Andtrea Paolini, I am having the same problem. Today (2nd July 2024) I noted in the aescripts + aeplugins Installation Manager that Goodbye Greenscreen, Depth Scanner and Mask Prompter all had updates. None of these plugins can be updated from the Manager, and when attempting to do this the result was a warning sign that the file is corrupted.
I have downloaded all three plugins from this site. However, something is very wrong with the Latest Version listing in personal accounts. For example, the latest version is dated as 1970, and Mask Prompter is titled Matte Prompter. Blace Plugins, what is going on?
Update - I have reinstalled these plugins and then appear to be working as they should in AE 2024. That said the Blace plugins cannot be updated from the Installation Manager.

Blace Plugins, recently I raised an issue with regards to none of your three plugins working in After Effects on my Mac Pro 2019. Seeking your assistance on this matter I took out a support ticket and supplied logs, as requested. Your recent reply read as somewhat glib, "Close as duplicate". This was followed by you closing this case without my confirmation that I had understood your message, and acted on it.
I realise customer support can be a trial for both customer and vendor. However it is essential. Can you be a little more expansive and indicate precisely what I need to do to remedy the current running fault with your plugins?
This plugin is an absolute life-saver!
That is all, as you were.
Please, I need help to install this plugin
It's having error - The installation failed message.
I only bring that up because something leads me to believe there may be some Stable Diffusion Clip Vision, or Segmentation under the hood of the plugin.

I think you already opened a ticket, didn't you? This issue should be solved by deleting 1) /Users/<username>/Library/blacetemp/cache
2) /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Common/Plug-ins/7.0/MediaCore/MaskPrompter.plugin and running the installer again.
Is it normal that the installation takes much time to finish? I've been waiting for almost an hour
Hey, they are legacy settings and don't influence the result at the moment. Will be removed in the next version.
