addressing some FAQs about this form

are these plugins / software safe? o.o

- yes, ive used these links COUNTLESS of times and they have worked for me and other
editors. The only complaints I've had are people not knowing how to crack it right.

but i still get a red X, i thought these were cracked? :(

- they are, maybe try reinstalling them and follow the txt file (typically named "read me",
"installation guide", "instructions", etc) its literally your best friend or you can watch the linked
tutorials (or visual guides) I have linked beside each software / plugin.

alternately, you can always use the websites linked at the very bottom of this form, they are
very popular in the editing community and have been used by myself and COUNTLESS of
other editors on many occasions however to be on the safe side (incase you don't trust
them), ensure to scan w/ an antivirus software (or VirusTotal) before installation.

Installation Rules (Read This FIRST!)

You need to follow these instructions before proceeding to install any software or plugins
linked below:

1. (Windows Users) You need 7-Zip OR WinRAR before you start downloading any
software or plugins. Because Windows lacks the functionality to open .zip or .rar
files.
2. (Mac Users) You should be able to open .zip or .rar files on Mac by downloading
"The Unarchiver" from the Apple Store or using the built-in feature on it.
3. Only use the URLs provided to download the plugins.
4. When downloading plugins, be sure that After Effects is not open; otherwise, they
will not appear in your "Effects and Presets" panel.
5. (optional) Restart your computer once you've completed downloading plugins.
6. If you have missed a step, check the tutorials or the text file (if linked or located in
your file), as a missed step can disrupt the entire installation process.
7. Open After Effects and search for the plugin, then apply it to your clip to see if the
red cross (or "X") is visible; if not, continue with editing; if it is, reinstall the plugin and
follow the text file.
8. (optional) If you have acquired all your plugins and STILL have no clue on how to
operate After Effects then click: https://forms.gle/MH6P8W7ZXH6JLxRr9 to be
taken to a form with ENDLESS materials on operating the software.

(if you encountered a problem, try downloading the same plugin from another link from here,
where applicable.)

addressing some FAQs about pirating software and / or plugins

- I'm just starting After Effects and I don't know what computer to buy... which one is the
best in your opinion?

After Effects is a computer program that is HEAVILY dependent on your computer

specifications. Especially your computer's Central Processing Unit (or CPU), Graphics
Processing Unit (or GPU), Motherboard, RAM (or Memory), Storage, System Cooling, Power
Supply Unit (PSU). I must warn you guys that a good editing computer costs about 500-900
USD (possibly higher), so I decided to find some around that price range. I suggest laptops
like these:

- I'm just starting After Effects and I don't know which version to download... which one is
the best in your opinion?

In my opinion, the "best" version of After Effects is the one that works best for your
computer. There are popular versions, like AE 19-21, but just because they're popular doesn't
ensure they'll work on your machine. It's usually advised to avoid versions that are only a few
weeks / months / a year old because they tend to have a lot of flaws, for example, if we're in
the year 2030, it's ideal if you acquire AE versions 28 and older, or if we're in the year 2026,
get AE versions 24 and older.

My Golden Rule of Thumb is:

- Terrible PC specifications: Try AE 18 and older

- Decent PC specifications: Try AE 19-21
- Amazing PC specifications: Try AE 22+

- what are plugins?

A plugin is a software add-on that is loaded on a program to improve its functionality. For
example, if you wanted to watch a video on a website, you might need to install a plugin.
Your browser will not be able to play the video if the plugin is not installed.

- what is the Adobe Media Encoder (or ME / AME)?

Adobe Media Encoder is an audio / video media processing tool that allows users to convert
files from one format to another, such as MP4 to WAV. After Effects (or AE), Premiere Pro (or
PR), Audition (or AU), Character Animator (or CH), and Prelude (or PL), etc. are all compatible
with Media Encoder.

- do i need the Adobe Media Encoder (or ME / AME) to export my AE project?

No. You can always use Handbrake, XMedia Recode, or After Codes as an alternative to it,
since they practically serve the same purpose; to export, convert or compress your files into
readable / uploadable formats for your content. Many editors use the Adobe Media Encoder
since it's easier to operate in a sense; the option is always up to you to install it. (it has to be
the same year as your AE / PR / CH / AU / CH / PL / etc.)

(Mac Only) If you ever get a warning that says "The following plugins are installed, but not
yet compatible with this version of After Effects. They will show as missing in
existing projects and cannot be applied. To run After Effects in a compatible mode,
choose "Get Info" in the application context menu and enable "Open using Rosetta"." Follow
the question down below.

- how to install Rosetta? (Mac Only)

apple-silicon-mac/

- what is Multi-Frame Rendering?

Multi-Frame Rendering (or MFR) (available exclusively in AE versions 22.x and higher)
significantly improves performance while exporting and previewing compositions by
allowing After Effects to process many frames at once. (basically; it makes pre render time
faster)

This feature only works if your plugins have been optimized (or updated / upgraded) for it;
otherwise, it will slow down and make rendering more difficult, as well as display a
"caution/warning" symbol next to the plugin's name. Simply switch it off to avoid having to
update your plugins and to maintain the previous versions of them.

- how do you turn off Multi-Frame Rendering?

Multi-Frame Rendering is enabled by default in After Effects versions 22.x and higher. To
disable/re-enable it: Select After Effects > Settings> Memory & Performance (Mac) or Edit >
Preferences > Memory & Performance (Win). Under the Performance section,
check/uncheck the Enable Multi-Frame Rendering option.
- where do I put plugins like Deep Glow, Glitchify, Modulation, Omino (all the things that
comes in the folder), Signal, Trapcode, Twitch (along w/ its key file), VC Color
Vibrance, etc?

Those are "extension" (.aex) plugins and they should be placed in:

1. Plug-ins folder location for Windows: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe After Effects

version\Support Files\Plug-ins
2. Plug-ins folder location for Mac: Applications/Adobe After Effects version/Plug-ins

- how do I license the Red Giant (Universe, Trapcode Suite, Magic Bullet Suite, Instant 4K,
etc.) plugins?

Firstly, download Maxon’s all-in-one app from their official site. You will need to sign in to do
this, just put in fake info: https://www.maxon.net/en/try

Once you’ve downloaded their app manager, locate the plugins you wish to have under the
products section and install them. They provide free trials for all of their products. However,
you don't just want a free trial; once you've downloaded a product, you can license it (so it's
no longer watermarked) using the serial numbers provided below.

To enter a serial number, go into the menu in the top right-hand corner (click on the three
lines / button icon) and hit import.

Serial Numbers

Frames - MBFK1245843484599512
Instant 4K - IHDK1245843086124132
Magic Bullet Suite - MBLK1245875960562349, COBK2245921573563861, or
COBK2245846563534111.
Offload - OFLK1245858439487526
PluralEyes - PFEK1245921362842515
Trapcode Suite - TCBK2245868172939255
Universe - RLPK2245855360592319
VFX Suite - VXXF1545921787095659

Are you having licensing issues despite entering the respective serial numbers? Try
downloading an older version of the plugin, ideally, a version released in 2021
and below (basically MBL 15 and lower) by clicking “other versions”. For unknown reasons,
the serial numbers tend to be faulty with newer versions of their products. No one knows any
solutions for this (some speculate that Adobe is working harder to patch their products) nor
will you find any other serial numbers online no matter where you look as they don’t exist.
These serial numbers have been in the community for many years and are
the primary method to licensing the Red Giant software. If you’re still having issues, you can
attempt to look online for an older version of the Maxon app or try an older version of After
Effects (or AE) if you’re running 2022 or above.

- how do I get the red X off of MBL (or Universe, Trapcode, Instant 4K, etc.)? It wasn't like
that before and I have used all the serial numbers...

Yes, the Red Giant plugins has a strange bug where they would randomly
unlicensed themselves; don't panic, a few editors I've seen have had this problem. The
simple fix is to uninstall your current version of MBL (or "Looks", Universe, Trapcode, Instant
4K, and so on) and try obtaining it from a different source or link.

- HELP! I don't have *effect name*! I thought it was apart of *insert plugin / software
here*?

Not to worry, I've seen similar issues where certain editors don't have a specific effect that's
supposed to be part of a plugin / software. Reinstalling from a different link or source is the
simple solution.

- where do I find the "S_*effect name*" plugin?

Any effect that has "s_" infront of it belongs to the Sapphire plugin, install it.

- where do I find the "BCC *effect name*" plugin?

Any effect that has "BCC" infront of it belongs to the BorisFX Continuum Complete (or
BCC) plugin, install it.

- where do I find the "uni.*effect name*" plugin?

Any effect that has "uni." infront of it belongs to the Universe plugin, install it.

- where do I find the "Shine" plugin?

That effect comes from the Trapcode Suite plugin, install it.

- where do I find the "Mojo II" plugin?

That effect comes from the Magic Bullet Looks (or MBL, or "Looks") Suite plugin, install it. If
already installed, try getting MBL version 13 and higher which is linked down below.

- where do I find the "Colorista VI" plugin?

That effect comes from the Magic Bullet Looks (or MBL, or "Looks") Suite plugin, install it. If
already installed, try getting MBL version 14 and higher which is linked down below.

- where do I find the "Looks" plugin?

Looks is an alternate name for the Magic Bullet Looks (or MBL) Suite plugin, install it.

- where do I find the "TV Pixel" plugin?

That effect comes from the Rowbyte TV Distortion Bundle plugin, install it.

- where do I find the "FL Glow" plugin?

That effect comes from the Frischluft plugin, install it.

- I'm just starting After Effects and I don't know which plugins to download... which ones
do u suggest?
My opinion is that it all depends on your style, however, plugins that are widely used in the
editing community are:

Popular Ones

BorisFX Continuum Complete (also known as BCC) — huge vfx effect bundle, lots of
glows, warps, glitches, over 200 effects, etc.
Magic Bullet Looks (also known as MBL or Looks) — for colorings or ccs, etc.
Sapphire — huge vfx effect bundle, lots of glows, warps, glitches, over 200 effects, etc.
Twixtor — smooth slow motion / velocity

Honorable Mentions

Deep Glow — generates a beautiful, physically accurate glow (for vids and text)
Element 3D — 3D shapes (though you’d likely use blender, another software for something
more complex)
Flow — makes graph “pop out”
Glitchify — pretty general glitch plugin
Omino — lots of great light and visual effects
Pixel Sorter — pixel sorter glitch (like the one in vs)
Reel Smart Motion Blur (also known as RSMB) — if you like how it looks anyway. Most
just throw it on top of their edit when done
RTFX — visual effects
Saber — glow visual effects (lightsabers, etc.)
Signal — another type of glitch but idk how to describe it, there’s examples on YouTube
though
Trapcode — can make overlays like burst particles, etc. whatever you want
Twitch — great shakes
Universe — has a few pretty effects; most popular for it’s TV / VHS look

you can even watch: https://youtu.be/93RMVIHQ-9E if you want to see some examples of
how the plugins look. A nice food for thought is that you don't actually need plugins to edit
on AE, they're wonderful to have, but practically every AE plugin has a built-in equivalent, or
you can find a similar overlay on YouTube, Discord, and so on. Instead of "S_Glow" or
"S_Ultraglow," for example, you can use AE's built-in "Glow" effect, or the "Unsharp Mask"
effect instead of the "BCC Unsharp Mask" effect (which it has a weird noisy look that I
don't like). However, the decision to download plugins or not is always yours.

Rule of Thumb: ALWAYS USE YOUTUBE AS A LAST RESORT! (and if you do, trust the
aesthetic (pretty-looking) thumbnails and/or check the comment section)

HOW TO PREVENT THE POP-UP FROM OCCURRING

Individual software, such as After Effects, Photoshop, Media Encoder, Adobe Creative Cloud,
and others, should be prevented from accessing the internet. If you prevent the app from
connecting to the internet, it will no longer be able to send you alerts in the future. This will
have no effect on your edits.

FOR WINDOWS

1. Go to “firewall and network protection” in settings

2. Click on advanced settings
3. Click on “outbound rules” in the left hand corner
4. Click “new rule” on the right hand corner
5. Select “program”
Select your desired program (After Effects)
6. Select “block the connection”
7. Name this rule to whatever you’d like and you're done! You can make multiple rules for
different apps.

FOR MAC
Unfortunately, there is no built-in setting for MAC to prevent individual applications from
accessing the internet, so you'll need to obtain a different software, as seen in the media

- what is Topaz Video Enhance AI?

Topaz Video Enhance AI is video upscaling software that employs machine learning to
increase video quality.

- where do I get AE (insert version here) Topaz for Mac / Windows?

STOP! I'm sick of hearing this frequent mistake. Topaz Video Enhance AI is video upscaling
software that employs machine learning to increase video quality, whereas Adobe After
Effects is a software application for producing motion graphics and special effects for use in
video, online content, and presentations, among other things. They are TWO DISTINCT
pieces of software.

- where do I get the Topaz plugin for Mac / Windows?

Another annoying misunderstanding. Topaz is a SOFTWARE, not a plugin. It is entirely

independent of After Effects.
