How Long Have You Been With 'After Effects'?
I'm on a Mac G5 and one of the presets that you actually created but isn't on this site is the FPS converter for SD and HD footage. I downloaded the plugin from creative cow and put it into my presets AE 7.0 plugins folder but it doesnt come up when AE is loaded, cant figure out what's up with that. It's a .ffx file but the icon is actually different.. looks like a magic wand and the rest look like electrical plugs. Any clues?
Thanks!
Thanks,
Andrew Kramer

Figured it out... for some reason I kept thinking it was a plugin, and not a preset.. Way to used to installing plugins which I guess really install themselves. My bad.
Thanks Again,
Mark
just a little trick: First it was really hard for me to follow your tutorials because I'm using the german version of AE. And I always thought: mode: screen hmm what's that in german! So i figured out a cool trick! Perhaps it works with the expression problem too. In the windows prompt just type: "afterfx.exe -l EN" and After FX will start in english. I works on CS3, don't know about 7.0. BTW if you need music or sound FX for some of your films, it would be an honor for me to help you out! If you would like hear some of my work. Go to google or youtube and type in Speedbreaker remix.
keep up the good work!
Fabian
Thanks for explaining how your product works on FCP 2, is all I use. I passed on your presets for AE to a freind and he said they don't show on his preset channel, His runing CS3 G5.
Keep up your excellent & superb WORK!!!
thanks!
If serious about what you do, you soon will see Apple is the way to go. Windows Vista you got to be joking.
Will these scripts work on Mac too???
How can I modify the name of a standard effect?
Basically, How can i change the name of my effect to slider? Is there anyway to do that?
Hope u can help so i can use your amazing presets!
Thanks for all your work...still improving!
For the translation script.
copy the javascript file into the folder "scripts" within the "Support Files" and then start After Effects.in german it is called DATEI_Scripting on the upper left of the screen. start the translation script. now select all effects, that have an expression and push the button. it works good in almost any case. for some translations you`ll have to manually edit the Scriptfile. I needed to edit it for the lense flare preset, because the "flare center" isnt define in the script. just look how it is written in your language and manually adjust it in the script.
hope this is going to help some of you.
I just wanna say tnk you for all,
the new website is amazing .......there are no words to describe how cool it's
i've been learnig a lot, After Effects
with your tutorials..
Hey a quick question !
If i want to get some of your stuff?
(Sound FX)
Just On line?
because i'm in new york
By the way Andrew, Riot Gear and Designer Sound FX kick ass! thanks for the quick delivery over to the UK!
and spent all that time watching them for
no reason!!!!
They don't work with 6.5!!!!!!! AHHHHHHHHH
Can you at least show us the reflections????
That's like the most usable one...
ohhh no.
I have one only lenguaje...
tanks men and sorry for my poor english have a nice men

I've been following you for some time. Don't worry. Only your tutorials. I've been trying to use your presets on my pro mac but i believe your presets are only a use for PC. Am I right? And if so is there a way to use them on a Mac anyway?
Well none of the plugins work on my german version...
I saw the FAQ and downloaded the translateexpression.jsx ...
it opens in extended script toolkit...
how should i operate???
Thanks for any kind of help!
just try to open the windows prompt and type: Afterfx.exe -l EN, that should work! For me it works with the german version!
Fabian
Your site rocks. It's helping me big time moving from print to on-air graphics. One question since I must be blind... where do I find the link to down load the presets?
go to Datei/Scripten/Scripteditor ausführen and choose "translate expressions" ==> A small window opens, then select the Expression and press translate at the new window...
Things work now.. accept for the reflection on text.... any hints?
@ Mutant: haha.. to be honest.. the first time I wanted to download the presets I couln't find it eighter...
There are 2 buttons... one sais "watch" which plays the movie... the other sais "preset" which downloads the preset!
3.30 am in Frankfurt.. I guess I go to sleep now!
I only see a Watch button. There is a link at the top of the page in the FAQ section but I thought it was to Download the Translate Expressions script.
http://www.nabscripts.com/Downloads/downloads_en_3.php?id=6
just click on presets from the Top-menu and choose one of the presets 01 - 09, 00 is just an tutorial on how to install the presets, not an installer or something like this!
@Max
did you install a whole new english version, or just switched the language like I posted in my comment? Because it makes no difference except if you need to look something up in the online Help you still have the german version! I think it's a cool trick
one more time in german for better understanding
Wenn du unter start ausführen: afterfx.exe -L EN eintippst, dann kannst du deine deutsche version in die englische umwandeln und hast trotzdem die möglichkeit nochmal was auf deutsch in der hilfe Nachzuschlagen. übringens: mode: screen -- auf deutsch negativ multiplizieren wer kommt denn auf sowas
regards
Fabian

Sorry my english is bad because i speak french ...
Well the trick worked for what I needed! Plugins work.. And I can find all the effects and simple things even, which are hard to translate...!
Everyone work hard on your videos!!!! Andrew is really doing alot to help us!!!1
Thanks!!
Could not find anywhere else to send you a message from on your site. Just wanted to say thanks, I have learned so much from your free tutorials, as soon as I start generating some cash with this business I will make a point of buying some of your product.
Thanks also for your sense of humour.

I'm from Peru, I want to say thank you for all the great tool that you give to us, all the presets are very useful, and I want to participate a little, for those who have AE in Spanish I modified the presets so they can work correctly in that language, not all of them have problems so I only modify those who have it, the archive also includes de light saber preset V2, I hope this could be useful, you will need winrar to open the file.
Para aquellos que necesiten los preset de Andrew en español, pueden descargarlos con link inferior, solo estan aquellos que han presentado problemas, tambien incluye el preset light saber V2

I just watched your ligtsaber preset on Creative Cow and downloaded the zip file you have there for that preset. When I try to install the preset I don't have the folder "preset". My question is: will these particular presets work in After Effects 6.0, or only 6.5 and 7? If they will work in 6.0 then how and where do I put the .ffx files?
Thanks for your help and the great tutorials and website.
Mark

Thought I'd try out the Reflections Preset and I was able to install it no problem and it shows up and it even applies it. The problem is it isn't doing anything I'm not getting a reflection from any Pics and I also tried some text with no result. What am I doing wrong, followed the tutorial to a "tee"? I'm using CS3. Thanks for your help in advance.
Steve

Absolutely love the site. Thankyou so much. After watching your installation tutorial carefully several times, I have installed the easy reflections preset and it is coming up fine in my preset list however when I drag onto a layer I get "This favorite contains 2 references to missing effects. Please install the following effects to restore these references ("CC RepeTile", "CC Composite") Any help would be much appreciated. Regards from Australia

I'm a completely unschooled in AE and I've been trying to start myself off using the Dead Planet tutorial but I'm having some problems! This will probably sound really easy and dumb to you guys but I don't have some of the presets installed and can't find them on your site! I'm missing 'cc sphere' (well, anything 'cc' actually!) and was wondering where I can download these presets?
I've downloaded most project files and used the 'installing presets' video but I must be going wrong somewhere.
Thanks for any help you can provide.
Thank you Andrew!

I know this comment really isn't supposed to be here, but I guess it sort of goes in this video...
Anyway. In your videos you have the Trapcode in effects, how do you install that? I've tried to ask Trapcode, but no answer. And in their forums they only have the info for CS3...
Anyway if you could help me that would be really cool.
:D....
Thanks again,
