Transfer workspace and scripts to another computer easily?

Hi!

I actually just did that 1m ago and it works just fine.
You just need to restart AE.

Cheers!

I have a bunch of custom presets stored in a dropbox folder. I created an alias to that folder and put the alias in the directory (folder) used when you create and save an animation preset to the default location. On a Mac, that folder is the User/Documents/Adobe/After Effects 2000/User Presents folder

AE keeps track of that folder through updates and when installing new versions. I do the same thing with the folders used for Scripts and any other folders that are used to store things that I might need. My preference files are also synced. No matter where I am my machines are always all synced up. The only thing that is not automatic are the updates and new installations of 3rd party effects and scripts that require installers.

You may not be able to avoid proper re-installs. In particular some panel-based tools create custom sub-folders and scatter sub-scripts across different default AE folders due to how AE loads these panels in general. Of course on the face of it just copy & paste-ing should still work, it will likely just require to dig for more than one single folder.
