Hello,
Iam trying to use an extension for After Effects I have installed properly (used aescripts for it).
However, When i Launch Affter Effects and i go to Windows and go for Extensions, it is greyed out and not clickable.
I tried to restart in debug mode, empty cache, check the versions, nothing seems to work, and I didn't find an exact answer on internet.
Thanks a lot !

Hi, yeah I did eventually find the solution. In my case I installed after effects in another drive due to space issues. And I moved all my extensions and plugins to that drive also.

It turns out that the extesnsions work only from the C drive. So by placing all my extensions back to my C drive, I got em back!

I'm not sure If you've made the same mistake.

Hi vadym_4523,

Not all the extensions end up in the Extensions menu. Some create their own menu option under the Window menu. Which extension did you install that's not working?

Thanks,
Nishu

A potential reason maybe that plugin and stock are not yet supported for the ARM proccessor (amd chipset)

Is the extension compatible with your version of After Effects?
