Mask Prompter
  • 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.
  • unusable in AE2024, keeps crashing...

    I am using EXR's 32 bit, in ACEScg colour space.. that got something to do with it??

    So can we apply this fix ourselves? We should make those sub folders in the program files folder?
  • We interrupt your regular stream of support requests to bring this important message:
    This plugin is an absolute life-saver! 
    That is all, as you were.
  • 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.

  • 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 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.

    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.

  • 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?

  • Good afternoon I would like to share my work for one of my clients.
    I think it turned out very cool and impressive.
    The difficulty was in the small tracking details.
    Using masks, I highlighted sections of the video with nails so that I could later make a background with the footage.
    Excellent plugin performance.
    The plugin is just great! Many thanks to the author!

    Hey, if it is the first time the plugin has to download several GB of data, so depending on your internet connection this can take time.

    Hey, this is fixed now.
  • 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?

    Thank you. Peter S
