I think what he means is that he wants the logo to be animating by itself through an alpha channel where all you see is the logo, so he can add it to something else.
Are you sure there’s no solid sandwiching the layer? The background in ae is automatically transparent and stands for nothing other than a reference matte. If nothing is added, your logo should be animating with no background. When you imported it from ps or ae, did you import it as a “composition” or “footage” layer. Try to import as a composition. Do this by, ctrl clicking it then below on the option for footage change it to composition.

If you run the install (.exe) extension from the plugin software package, it might automatically detect your ae folder and install it in for you. If it doesn’t then you need to find the plugin shortcut of the plugin after it’s extracted or outputed. It should look blue with an electrical plug. Copy it and if you’re running on windows go to

my computer ->

Local Disk C ->

Program Files ->

Adobe ->

After Effects ->

Plugins (Folder)

Then just paste it in there. Next time you start up, it should ask you if you wish to serialize it. Do so and the plugin will be installed and serialized to that specific computer. If you wish to copy that plugin and try to install it into another computer, it will not allow you to do that because you serialized it for that specific computer. So always make a copy of it just in case something happens to the original.
