Activity Forums Adobe After Effects Plug-Ins Not showing up in After Effects

  • Plug-Ins Not showing up in After Effects

    Posted by David Bland on June 3, 2010 at 2:28 pm

    Hi Guys,

    This is my first post and the reason why is because i simply can’t find an answer to my dilemma and i thought this would be the best place to go as these forums have been a fountain of knowledge for me.

    The problem i have is that i have recently got After Effects CS5, i installed all my plug-ins (trapcode, twitch etc) in the plug-ins folder and it was all working fine, then i upgraded my OS to windows 7 and then when i next opened After Effects my plug ins aren’t visible in AE. When it loads up it shows that it is looking in the folders where the plug ins are and when in goes through effects and cycore it shows all the plug ins its found but when it goes through any of the third party folders it shows the folder its going through but then doesn’t show the plug ins, as if its found the folder but that there is nothing in that folder!

    Very peculiar, as said i am running it on Windows 7, i’ve tried re-installing the plug ins to no avail. Am i missing something?

    Any help will be much obliged!

    Thanks,

    Blandy

    Yes i did, i tried reinstalling trapcode form from scratch and still it showed no sign of it in ae! If all else fails i am just going to have to go back to CS4 for a while until i work out what the problem is!

    You can fix all this simply by “right clicking” on your Photoshop.exe file

    Goto compability mode and set it to run as “Windows XP” servicepack 3 mode or choose one of the other modes..

    You can also mark the .
    “run in administrator mode”

    Thats it 🙂
