This section covers common issues you may encounter while using RunScript and how to resolve them.

Scripts Are Not Running

• Make sure the Bridge is running in the system tray

• Ensure the Monitor panel is open and monitoring is started

• Confirm After Effects is open and a project is active

• Check that the Browser Client is enabled on the current site

If any one of these components is inactive, scripts will not execute.

Bridge Is Not Detected

• Launch RunScript Bridge manually

• Check the system tray to confirm it is running

• Restart the Bridge if needed

• Restart After Effects and try again

The Bridge must be running for scripts to reach After Effects.

Monitor Panel Not Visible

• Restart Adobe After Effects

• Open the panel via Window → RunScript Monitor

• Re-run the installer if the panel does not appear

Make sure the ScriptUI panel was installed correctly.

Port 3737 in Use

• Close any other applications that may be using the port

• Restart the Bridge

• Restart your system if the issue persists

Only one instance of the Bridge can run at a time.

Scripts Run Multiple Times

• Enable Don’t Run Again in the Browser Client

• Disable Autopilot Mode temporarily

• Review scripts before sending them again

This usually occurs during rapid testing or iteration.

Nothing Happens After Clicking Run

• Check the Browser Client status

• Ensure the Bridge is active

• Verify that monitoring is not paused

Most issues are caused by one of the components not running.

If problems persist, restarting the Bridge and After Effects usually resolves connection-related issues.
