Hey guys,

Still somewhat new to after effects - and when I download templates off the internet I get an error message saying I'm missing the "Fill" plug-in. I've done some research and one place I looked said it is a default plug-in and I'm also finding it come up on Google as RE: Fill which is like $100.

Do I need to pay for the plug-in or is it a default and not showing up for me for some reason? If so, are there any fixes to this?

Thanks in advance for any answers and helping me past this confusion.

      Hi,

      If the missing plug-in is RE:Fill, you can download the plug-in below. It works as a demo mode. You do not pay for it as long as you use it as a trial.

      I would recommend you check the exact version of After Effects which created the template and compare the plug-in list of the version.

        Odd.

        If you navigate to:

        C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe After Effects CC 2015\Support Files\Plug-ins\Effects\

        do you find: Fill.aex

        ?

        Maybe trash your prefs :

        • Press Ctrl+Alt+Shift while the application is starting.
        • A dialog box launches asking you if you want to delete your preferences file. ...

        The Fill effect is a stock AE effect. Though it's been relegated to the deprecated effects, it should show up. The rest we can't really know. You have not provided an exact error message, no system info nor any details about the templates. Paraphrasing and spouting generics is not useful when exact info would be required.

        First time in the thread - didn't know what was needed to help..

        Gyazo - 3831b138f4bd5a392380c5ae96a196eb.png  This is the error message.

        I'm using CC 2015

        Gyazo - aab2f04ba27e40912d0de69dc1abf2c0.png This is my system info.

        Templates are for YouTube intros purchased on Videohive, I've used about 5 different ones all with the error.

        Need anymore info, please let me know, thanks.
