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.

    Please, I need help to install this plugin

    It's having error - The installation failed message.

    Just purchased yesterday.

    I've already open a ticket. Please fix the error.  
  • 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.

    cheers,

  • 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. 
    HPZ820 Dual XEON, 128GB RAM nVidia RTX3090 with 24GB of RAM. 
    Any suggestion would be welcomed.

  • 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.

    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.

  • 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?
