Hi,
I'm interested in learning about editing/writing my own scripts for After Effects CC 2018, but the I don't seem to have the Adobe Extendscript Toolkit available to download under my Creative Cloud App. Is there a reason for this, and if so are there any alternatives I could use?
Thanks!
Hi Guyh39507624,
As you have mentioned you would like to download Adobe Extendscript Toolkit CC, you may do that using your Creative Cloud desktop app.
Please launch your CC desktop app and go to settings wheel in the top right corner > Click 'Preferences' > Click 'Creative Cloud' > now click the check box for 'Show older apps'
Now go back to apps list and you should be able to see the Adobe Extendscript Toolkit CC listed under it, click 'install'
Let us know if this helps.

They are depricating ESTK and replacing it with some trash plug-ins from VS Code... The bugs in VS Code are all over the place, debugging is terrible and a lot of basic functionality is lost. Oh, last but not least, the VS code plug-in doesn't offer a native object model viewer... you have to view it online now apparently.
I bought a PC to run Windows so that I can carry on using ESTK because the alternative is basically unworkable.
