Free AE template, missing effects? Get every plugin at once.

Each free After Effects template names another plugin. Here the app and its plugins come as one package.

  1. Free templates call for extra plugins.
  2. One package adds the app and plugins.
  3. Edit your intro, with help close by.
Open the plugin bundle

One package: the core app plus the plugins templates call for.

Read this first

Most free After Effects templates are built with third-party effects. Open one without them and After Effects warns that effects are missing, and the layers that use them play without that effect. Do not rebuild the look by hand or swap in a lookalike: install the app and its plugins first, then reopen the project.

How it works

  1. Press Open the plugin bundle
  2. Download the full package
  3. Install the app and its plugins
  4. Reopen your template and edit
  • After Effects core appin the package
  • Plugins templates call forin the package
  • Hunting plugin by pluginnot needed
  • Totalone package

Install before you open a template, so After Effects locates the effects on the first load.

Need help

  • Adobe Community, After Effects forum: best for install questions and errors inside the app.
  • r/AfterEffects on Reddit: best for editing a template and render settings.
  • The template's own download page: best for which plugins and version it was built with.
  • Creative COW, After Effects forum: best for older projects and expressions.

You have already chosen the template. The plugins were the missing part.

Get the package once, reopen the project, and the warning clears.

Then the intro is yours to edit.
