  • Unmult plugin for old AE comp (AE CS 5.5)

    Posted by Quen Hoai on September 17, 2020 at 8:43 am

    Hi all,

    I need reopen a comp, which made in AE CS 5.5 and have apply Unmult plug-in. I always get the error message Unmult even though I have installed Unmult (2019) for AE CS 5.5.

    What wrong for me and How can I fix it?

    Thank for your advice.

    Why not just replace the instances of the old effect with the one you have installed?

    Thank for your answer and I tried but maybe unmult not support for AE 2018 on window 10. Did you have any other advice?

    What exact version of Unmult have you installed (there are a number of them, maybe you can provide a link to the one you’re using)?

    What exact error message do you get?

    You could try replacing Unmult with a couple standard effects.

    This is what I started using when Unmult stopped being free briefly about a decade ago.

    Good call, Kevin. I actually wrote a script a few years back to “UnUnmult” a project, replacing the Red Giant effect with a couple of different options:

    Just roll your own. It does the same thing and work in any AE version.

    To use the Set Matte effect you need to first pre-compose your lens flare on the black solid layer and move all attributes to the new pre-comp.

    Then apply the Set Matte effect to the pre-comp in your main comp and change the “Use For Matte” property to luminance or lightness.

    Then change the pre-comp’s blend mode to “Luminescent Premul.”
