    Hi, I’m loving the ProAnimator Plug-in In AECS3. Just have one issue. When I create an object style for text in the full version of ProAnimator, and save it, I can apply it to other text objects with no problem. When I am working in AE CS3 and create a new solid layer, then go to the ProAnimator Plug-in under Effects to create 3d Text, it seems the object styles that I created and saved in the full version aren’t there. They are there when I open up the full version again (not the plug-in).

    Anyone else experience this? Is it normal, and is there a fix? Seems like with the full version or plug in, that the same “library” of object styles would be accessable.

    Thank you, Donovan

    Hi Donovan.

    We just updated PA to v4.5, which moves the Swatches Libraries (and Presets, and Maps) to a common folder, so I’d suggest doing the following:

    1. Go to https://zaxwerks.com/download and download PA v4.5. Install v4.5.

    2. Open the ProAnimator application *first* (do this before opening the AE plug-in version of PA).

    3. Your PA app and plug-in should now share a common set of Swatches.

    The new, shared Swatches are in /Zaxwerks/ProAnimator

    Let us know if you have any questions.
