Hello everyone,

I am trying to install this plugin ( bodymovin/bodymovin · GitHub ) which should interface with my 2015 Ae, The software is up to date but I can't find the CEP folder /Library/Application Support/Adobe/CEP/extensions, and I can't understand how to run CEP. In addition the extension manager won't recognize my Ae.

Can you help me please?

I installed bodymovin by copying it to

~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/CEP/extensions/

(note the ~ at the beginning, i.e. it is the Library folder inside my users home directory).

This folder existed on my system.

Also don't forget to set the debug mode flag. I am not sure whether for CC2015 you need to store it in CSXS.4 CSXS.5 or CSXS.6.

Hence I suggest to do it for all of them of test which one is working for you. You set the flags by executing the following commands in your terminal:

defaults write com.adobe.CSXS.4 PlayerDebugMode 1

defaults write com.adobe.CSXS.5 PlayerDebugMode 1

defaults write com.adobe.CSXS.6 PlayerDebugMode 1

Hi Mathias,

I tried to install bodymovin as you said but nothing happens, then i tried with ExManCmd and i get this 403 error which I don't know what it means.

Can you help me?

Are you on Mac or Windows? Note that on Windows the installation is very different.

I have not built, nor used any of the After Effect Extensions, so what I say here may be completely wrong.

/Library/Application Support/Adobe/CEP/extensions,

This path exists in my main Library folder, not in my Home Library folder on mac.

In addition the extension manager won't recognize my Ae.

From what I have seen on this forum, there are workarounds for dealing with After Effects Extension packaging and installing. Just search for "Extensions" and it brings up a few related posts. Here is one post.
