It should instead report the missing config and continue loading the project. This is an AE bug that was introduced in CC 2018.

Couple of things... Appreciation, a request a...Hi,<br /><br />Couple of things... Appreciation, a request and a bug report.<br /><br />1. Thank you so much for this plug in. It's made it possible for me to do most of the things that big houses do on a way smaller scale without the need of going to Nuke. Four major Hollywood films in the past few years. Thank you a thousand times.<br /><br />2. It would be a great help to get an ability to read/parse/apply from .ccc files in addition to the current .cc. It's probably not a big deal, but sometimes production does not supply a .cc file and the ability to apply one of any number of embedded profiles would eliminate the need of manually, or scripting out separate .cc's.<br /><br />3. I recently opened up a scene that was created in AE 2017 in AE 2018 and it threw a "Unknown Exception". I've tracked it down to the OCIO plugin. Because the file was created on a different system the path in the plug to the .cc file was incorrect. When I opened the scene in 2017, repathed to my 'current' system, saved and opened in 2018, Everything is just fine. Yay!<br />Another odd behavior is that when trying to import a scene with broken paths allowed the scene to import, but it would corrupt the AE session in a manner that it would not show ANY footage. Peculiar.<br /><br />Thanks again.<br />Michael Jackson.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03828416862970678534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3064694491023513043.post-46262182037374292102018-05-05T04:10:20.697-07:002018-05-05T04:10:20.697-07:00Hello Brendan, thank you *very* much for the ae pl...Hello Brendan, thank you *very* much for the ae plugin it is fantastic. I saw a tutorial here ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jCVIqG-D2Vk ) where the user sets AE working spaces to 'rec709', however in the plugin manual it says specifically to set it to 'none'. Setting it to 'none' seems like it removes the option to work in linear space? Can you advise on the best way forward?<br />Thank you very much<br />CiaoJosehpnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3064694491023513043.post-14682350408186478712018-04-19T11:54:59.561-07:002018-04-19T11:54:59.561-07:00Hey Brendan,

Everything works beautifully when loading the config using custom. However, once we assigned the OCIO env variable, the plugin runs so slowly in AE. Clicking on any input/output causes about a 3 second delay every time. We're on AE 2018 (15.0.1). C4D/Arnold and Nuke works just fine with the env variable, but AE doesn't. If you have any solutions, I'd appreciate it. <br />Thanks,<br />JustinJustinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14909298491019152361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3064694491023513043.post-74215806139343681842018-03-29T10:04:33.589-07:002018-03-29T10:04:33.589-07:00Hey Brendan, I use this on my home system (Windows...Hey Brendan, I use this on my home system (Windows) all time and it works perfectly, but I just tried installing it on my work computer (mac) and the plugin appears in after effects, but it can't find the Config files.

Love using it. <br /><br />Just two little remarks:<br /><br />1) When collecting a project in AE, the LUTS are not copied, which is already quite a big problem sometimes and 2) after you open the project there is no warning, that a LUT is missing, which was being used. A new user, who opens such a project and has no experience with this plugin, doesnt know what is missing, since he gets no notification that a LUT is missing and thus wonders why his rendering looks completely different.<br /><br />Would be amazing, if you could fix this!!<br /><br />Cheers<br />DinoDinohttp://www.dinomuhic.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3064694491023513043.post-65671702649103799352018-02-09T11:33:41.179-08:002018-02-09T11:33:41.179-08:00Hi Gerald,

We are using the v1.0.9 OCIO 2017 pateched plug-in in CC 12.2 through 2018.1 on Win 7 and Win 10 without issue. Brendan patched in July 2017, after we saw a fatal crash similar to your description when we rolled up from AE v14.2.0.198 to v14.2.1.34, this issue started in v14.2.1.34 and was fixed. The fix version has worked for us in older versions and CC 12.2 to 15.0.1.73. We use this in wide deployment on lots of machines and render farm. The 2017 crash was fatal, but we've had no issues since the patch.<br /><br />I also just tested the newly posted 2/5/18 build v1.1.0 in 2018.1 v15.0.1.73 and it seems to be stable, for me anyway. I'll push v1.1.0 into wide deployment and will update if we experience any issues in production with it.<br /><br />I realize this probably doesn't help you solve it, but wanted to let you know that in our environment we're not getting the same issue.<br /><br />Best,<br /><br />AdamAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09112140237973226444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3064694491023513043.post-37641136355940499482018-02-09T07:17:28.851-08:002018-02-09T07:17:28.851-08:00Hello Brendan,

I updated the Windows 7 computer yesterday to After Effect CC 2018 then put the OCIO plugin in AE2018 plugin folder then I can't open shots. But when I remove the OCIO in the plugin folder, I can launch the shot (just getting a missing OCIO plugin warning). I tried version 1.1.0 and 1.0.9. Both didn't worked. The error that I'm getting is "After Effect Warning: Unknown Exception."
