Hello everyone, 

ive just changed my after effects location and uninstalled and re installed After Effects. But now i only have th .exe file on my new drive. I want to understand why this is the case and if it even makes a difference ? All the plugins i had are still working too. Its a brand new drive and i dont really understand why i have "656" folders inside the Folder where i installed but non of them are showing up (even enabled show hidden mode). Is it at least running from my ssd now and what is going on there ? And do i have to install plugins over/on my old drive, since i dont see any folders from the application on my new one.

    Hi,

     

    if you have used the proper procedure to uninstall and reinstall the App via the CreativeCloud App you also have to reinstall some of your Plugins if they are third party and not via the CreativeCloud App installed. Sometimes Adobe finds the old pathes and look into them for the Plugins.

    Hope that helps.

    PS/EDIT: I changed the install path for adobe creative cloud programms over the client and uninstalled and reinstalled for the process.
