  • My Plug ins are Missing after upgrading to CS4

    Posted by Joseph Wilkins on November 11, 2009 at 1:43 am

    Trapcode particular, and other third party plugins are now missing after changing from CS3 to 4.

    I also upgraded to snow leopard at the same time, so not sure which the issue is coming from

    Your help is appreciated!

    thanks

    CS4 resides in a different directory to CS3. Reinstall your plugins.

    How do I do that?

    I dont think I have the installation files – I have plug ins that are years old.

    Can I not just drag them… but from where to where?

    Thanks!

    I’m normally not a cynical person on these boards, but…

    After Effects CS3 was released in July 2007. So you’re telling me that you lost installers for valuable 3rd party plug-ins that you’re presumably paid for within 28 months? I don’t know about you, but I treat installers like these like gold. They’re always accessible on my system and backed up as well.

    That being said, look in AE CS3/plugins. If you’re on a Mac, also look in /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Common/Plug-ins/CS3/MediaCore/ Don’t know what to tell you for Windows.

    Adobe CS3, Apple FCS2

    I found the plug in installer…. then I re-ionstall it and it ends up in a folder in CS4 called “Missing”

    I have a licensed copy… not sure what to do next
