Due to enhanced security measures, newer versions of macOS require you to grant After Effects permission to record your screen.

Enable Screen Recording

1. Open System Preferences by clicking Apple > System Settings... in the menu bar.
2. Click on Privacy & Security in the left list.
3. Click Screen & System Audio Recording in the right list.
4. Ensure that Adobe After Effects is toggled on.
5. Restart your computer and try Cyclops again.

<aside> ⚠️

Older versions of macOS may have this preference in a slightly different location.
