Hello everyone

I would like to use the Motion Factory extension by pixflow in after effects: Download FREE After Effects Plugins | Motion Factory

I downloaded it but if I klick on ''Motion Factory'' in my extensions in after effects, nothing happens. I am using after effects CC 2019. Please help! Thanks so much for your time...

    Correct answer albertol98540319

    Hi everyone, I had the same problem with the 2020 version. I tried various solutions from this thread, but none seemed to work (probably because I was doing something wrong).
    Poking around the forums though, I found a solution to a similar problem for Photoshop extensions, you can find the original post here

    It worked for me! Basically it's enough to prepare a text file with just written in it:

    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\CSXS.6]
    "PlayerDebugMode"="1"
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\CSXS.7]
    "PlayerDebugMode"="1"
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\CSXS.8]
    "PlayerDebugMode"="1"
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\CSXS.9]
    "PlayerDebugMode"="1"
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\CSXS.10]
    "PlayerDebugMode"="1"

    Then you save it as .reg file (literally change the .txt in the back into .reg and save). Then double click on it to run and then restart After Effects.
    I think for older versions just omit the last lines (from the one with CSXS.10 for 2019, from CSXS.9 for 2018 and so on).

    please open your system terminal ( https://macpaw.com/how-to/use-terminal-on-mac ) and then enter following line one by one and press enter ( each line is separated command )

    defaults write com.adobe.CSXS.8 PlayerDebugMode 1

    defaults write com.adobe.CSXS.9 PlayerDebugMode 1

    after that close after effect, open it again and try motion factory ( please run the installation one more time before doing that ) and then let us know about the result.

      Hello there , It's Joseph from Pixflow team , please first make sure you've deleted the older version of Motion Factory by deleting /Library/Application Support/Adobe/CEP/extensions/motion.factory then download and install motion factory from http://media.pixflow.net/motion/Motion-Factory-Setup.pkg and then let us know about the result.

        I submitted a ticket too. No response yet but to be honest, this is really annoying that it's not up to date with 2019, because I do a lot of my graphics in AE rather than Premiere, and it makes it a real hassle to export out of PP 2019 and load into AE 2018.

        The same for me. On the official website there is written on the top "Motion Factory Is Now Fully Compatible With After Effects CC 2019! " Download FREE After Effects Plugins | Motion Factory

        Help please, thanks very much!
