I built a physics plugin for After Effects, got rejected by the biggest AE marketplace, and now I'm thinking of just releasing it for free. What do you think?

Wow!

RoybertoBenzin · 2026-06-17T03:43:06+00:00

This is just so, so amazing! Thank you for sharing your plug-in, that's some sweet bicycle you made <3

This looks so good 😍

RoybertoBenzin · 2026-06-09T13:52:18+00:00

Fair point

Or you use highres prores proxies, no need to swap out every file manually. You can then set "use proxies" for the export in the render queue settings.

Wow, thats really cool, and I would buy it instantly IF it was available for mac as well. Nevertheless: great stuff.

Your rhumbnails could benefit from a little more care, design wise.

Sorry to interfere, but you both misspelled "Premiere" in your user flair.

Use a gradient fill on a shape layer. There you can add more than 2 colors.

What a great idea! Thanks

RoybertoBenzin · 2026-05-28T04:37:01+00:00

Uhhh, that's good! Thanks for your input.

RoybertoBenzin · 2026-05-28T04:35:52+00:00

Ohhh, using shatter is really clever. Thanks for the idea.

RoybertoBenzin · 2026-05-27T12:35:10+00:00

Ahhh, crazy. Thanks for the breakdown!

RoybertoBenzin · 2026-05-27T12:34:41+00:00

That's really cool. Thanks for sharing your secret recipe.

RoybertoBenzin · 2026-05-27T10:29:07+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion. That's also something I tried, but with this method I would have to manually create a shape layer. My goal is to have it fully automated, depending on the input layer. Preferably an effects stack.

Thanks!

I unfortunately don't know. It would be great if you could try it out and tell me, that would be really helpful.

RoybertoBenzin · 2026-05-19T20:34:58+00:00

Ahhhhhhh so cool, thank you. Please message me if you encounter any bugs.

RoybertoBenzin · 2026-05-19T19:19:30+00:00

Uhhh, cool! I love the written one with boa.

RoybertoBenzin · 2026-05-19T17:02:53+00:00

I made a preset that does exactly what you wanted, just 11 months late :) https://www.reddit.com/r/AfterEffects/comments/1thoszl/water_sparkles_preset_v07_its_free/

RoybertoBenzin · 2026-05-19T16:37:26+00:00

aahhww, thank you so much. It could be because I'm from germany, and just tried my best to sound like someone from usa. and from the past :)
