Hello,
I believe you are referring to a DVD that used older versions of the BorisFX software. We used to offer an install option for After Effects, but didn’t offer that as an option in the current product installer. If you want to, you can select the 844 / X target in the product installer and then navigate to the After Effects plug-ins folder, which will install the right filters in the right place for them to show up in After Effects. Please be aware though that this is not a fully supported configuration and works in the Windows version of After Effects only.
Please feel free to contact me directly with any questions or concerns regarding this discussion at peterm@borisfx.com
Cheers,
Peter.
