A search turned up a link: https://www.videocopilot.net/blog/2016/03/new-plug-in-saber-now-available-100-free/

 

You will also find a tutorial on the same page. The download should give you an installer that lets you pick where the effect is installed. It found all of my versions of AE without any problem.

Be sure to download the latest installer from videocopilot.net. You probably have installed it using an older installer. Previous installers don't install the plugin in After Effects 2020.

Rick,

I am on windows and the installer allows you to choose where you want it installed. When I inject it into the plugin or preset folder, it just creates an empty folder labeled "VideoCopilot". All the other plugins I have installed have the adobe files within them to make it work, but this one does not. I used your link for the installer and everything, pleaser help!

You don't need to select the Plugins directory, just select the AE version you are using.

I have After Effects installed on a D : drive, so I'm thinking that's why AE 2020 didn't show up in the list. In any case, I selected Custom and pointed it to the Presets directory. So in my case:

 

D:\Program Files\Adobe Creative Cloud\Adobe After Effects 2020\Support Files\Presets

 

(I would have thought Plugins, but apparently it's Presets)

I'm not sure if this would work, but you could check your plug in folder to see if they're there:

C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe After Effects *version* \Support Files\Plug-ins

 

It kind of depends on what plug in/s you're trying to get working, because say you're trying to install Element 3d, there should be an .aex file in the Plug-ins folder. Other plugins like Sapphire or BCC, they install to their own folder in your ProgramFiles/ProgramData folders and in C:\Program Files\Adobe\Common\Plug-ins\7.0\MediaCore
