Activity Forums Adobe After Effects AE CS4 missing standard plugins

  • AE CS4 missing standard plugins

    Posted by Gary Storm on August 10, 2009 at 8:47 am

    Hi, have looked all over the web for a solution to this (apart from a total re-install which would take our IT dept days to get around to).

    We have AE CS4 installed at work, and I just found out a few standard effects aren’t in it (was following an online tutorial). So far I seem to be missing the ‘Generate’ and the ‘Expression Controls’ effects. Very strange. I would have thought this may have been the case on a dodgy version, but not the real deal.

    Any idea’s???

    Are the plug-in files not in the Plug-ins folder, or are they just not being loaded into the application?

    Hi Todd, they are in neither. Strange eh? We have the education versions (as I work for the govt education dept. in Australi). Don’t know if that makes a difference. Maybe the IT mob messed up the install (via Radius).

    It certainly seems that something wasn’t installed correctly, then.
