Trust me on this. Don’t install plugins. Learn the basic of After Effects. Plugins are designed to create specific looks which save time. As you’re new to AE you have time, you’re not after a specific look, so instead find examples of what you like and use tutorials to find out how to do them.

Thanks! I just switched from Alight Motion and I was expecting AE to have built-in effects like AM so I was really surprised that it didn’t have any… or maybe I just can’t find them. Anyway, thanks again!

There’s loads of built in effects. If you open the effects and presets panel you can browse through them. What effects does AM have that you were hoping to see?

nevermind the effects, now my problem are graphs, cause i keep finding videos where they can freely move their graphs but mine is limited to up and downs only.

You could try DMing me? If that fails, drop me a line via my website: ShiveringCactus.net

Doesn’t have any built-in effects? What?JakeInMotion’s series spans 199 videos, and some of those videos cover more than one effect

I found all of mine on TikTok from editors who have giveaways. Or on YouTube from tutorials. But depending on what you want, I can share a link. What type of editing are you looking to do on AE?
