FAQ
Questions.
What version of After Effects do I need?
After Effects CC 2020 (version 17.0) or newer. Tested on AE 2023 and AE 2025.
Does it work on Mac?
The CEP extension panel works on both Mac and Windows. The custom .aex plugins (KE Dither, KE RGB Split, KE Hue Rotator) are currently Windows-only — Mac builds are coming in v1.1. All transitions and overlays that don't rely on those plugins work fully on Mac now.
Does it work on vertical 9:16 compositions?
Yes. Every transition and overlay was built and tested on both 16:9 and 9:16 comps. Built for Reels, TikTok, and widescreen.
Can I use it for commercial work?
Yes. One license covers personal and commercial use — client work, paid projects, monetized content, all of it.
How does installation work?
After purchase you get a download link with the extension folder and .aex plugin files. The included install guide walks through placing them in the right folders — takes about 5 minutes.
