Can't find generated .aex in ae

I build ae sdk example with visual studio, generate .aex in C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe After Effects CC 2014\Support Files\(Media Core plug-ins) folder, but I can't find it in after effects. Did I generate it in correct folder, or what else I should do?

Correct answer

For CC 2014 and CC 2015, I use this path for my plugins instead, don't know if that makes a difference:

C:\Program Files\Adobe\Common\Plug-ins\7.0\MediaCore\

Thanks Toby. I changed the output directory path in visual studio and everything works great & C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe After Effects CC 2014\Support Files\Plug-ins\Effects is also right path.

Glad you got it working.

Yes, that path you posted works as well. :-)

There is however a slight difference:

Plugins in "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe After Effects CC 2014\Support Files\Plug-ins\Effects" will only be seen by After Effects and the AE command line renderer.

Plugins in "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Common\Plug-ins\7.0\MediaCore\" will be seen by both AE and Premiere Pro (and possibly Adobe Media Encoder).
