Adobe after effects CS3 plugins into CS5

[Todd Kopriva]

I just wanted to back Dave up on this important point.

from After Effects Help:
“Important: Because After Effects CS5 is a 64-bit application, only 64-bit plug-ins can run in After Effects CS5. Plug-ins created for previous, 32-bit versions of After Effects will not run in After Effects CS5. To inquire about availability of 64-bit versions of plug-ins, contact the plug-in vendor or provider.”

There’s more information toward the bottom of that page about where to find information about 64-bit plug-ins.

…there are however 2 bits of good news on this:

1. Adobe is including a free old 32 bit version with your CS5 purchase. So if you absolutely have to use a plug-in, you could use that.

2. Scripts (at least the ones I’ve tried so far) seem to work fine in 64 bit CS5 AE.
