Why can't I find "New Comp from Character Animator Recording.jsx"

[jeffersonb12659700]

I have the latest version of AE (2018) and Character Animator (2018 not beta). "New Comp from Character Animator Recording.jsx" does not appear amongst the scripts I can run. Why is that? How can I run sync png and wav without manually doing it?

Unable to import Character Animator to After Effects (2018)

Check out this link. I had the same issue. Use Dynamic link, basically just drag and drop CH scene into After Effects. When, If you update your puppet in CH it will update in AE.

It worked! Thanks! Also that link is very helpful. Adobe updates have really frustrated me, I feel much better knowing others feel the same. Lol.

If I understand correctly however, it is not the same thing. I think the Dynamic Link approach rerenders each time you adjust the original file, where as dragging across the PNG files I think will only refresh if you regenerate the PNG files (so you control when it rerenders better, give a more responsive experience).  Dynamic Link might be better for your case, but I am struggling with the performance of it which is why I am digging deeper.
