Hi folks,Â
If you rely on Mocha AE for masking, please be aware that the new fall After Effects CC release (2018) is indeed crashing when "Mocha shape data" is on the clipboard.Â
Specifically, if you are in the bundled Mocha AE and choose "export shape data and copy to clipboard", when you go back to AE, you will crash.Â
Exporting and pasting Mocha's tracking data is currently working fine.Â
Also - the "create masks" process works fine in the Mocha Pro 5 plug-in for Adobe.Â
This issue has been reported to Adobe team, so hopefully will be addressed soon. For those that need this working asap, we have identified a workaround: if you remove the bundled "mocha shape" plug-in, you can get past the crash issue, (ignore error message) and do "paste mocha mask", it will work.
Will update when we learn more, Thanks.
