''Motion Factory'' Extension not working

[Phillip1234]

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...

[josephs6927561]

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.

I have tried everything suggested but no luck. It does not even show up in the effects menu as an option. Nothing. Just as if I never installed it. The library file is there but nothing else......

Version 2.4.1 was just released and is stable on CC2019

Hi Everyone.  Had the issue just yesterday.  Followed everything listed in the thread and nothing worked.

What worked for me what this:  I reopened the installation .exe and then selected "repair."   -- after rebooting aftereffects, it was working for me.

[daved52346046]

Sounds good but MAC people are stuck.....

Why are Mac users stuck. It works on all my Macs (V 2.4.1)

Tested on High Sierra and Mojave

I'm also unable to get this working on Mac. I've tried the above suggestions, along with several reboots throughout the process.

I keep getting "After Effects needs to be restarted to install", but this doesn't work.

I just upgraded to the very latest AE and tried all over again, but no dice.

Any other suggestions? I've also just emailed pixflow. Their website also seems to lead people around in circles, and you can only request "support" if you've purchased additional plugins/packages.

Pretty frustrating

I don't understand why you are having this problem.

V2.41 is stable on CC2019 and High Sierra and Mojave

Perhaps delete the current extension install and reinstall

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).

This worked for me. Thanks!

[Peeved Traveller]

Awesome! Thanks, it worked!

[Dmitry5FB2]

Thx man)

Fow 2021 

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\CSXS.11]
"PlayerDebugMode"="1"

[meraj07]

[PukyPikenko]

[icreate4567]

Worked for AE 2021. Thanks!

[Mik5CFA]

Thanks A LOT, man!!!

Still having so much trouble doing this on a Mac M1. I've tried running After Effects in Rosetta as well as on the M1.

I tried running: 

`defaults write com.adobe.CSXS.11 PlayerDebugMode 1`

for all versions 5 - 13 just to be safe (I think my version is 11 though).

Reinstalling, restarting computer, etc. No luck.

The plugin actually runs fine but every time I try to login I get the message:

"An error occurred while connecting to the server"

HI there, 

I am trying to install motion factory on a M1 13" macbook pro 

I bought a fx bundle from pixflow and that came with a whole tutorial how to install motion factory which said to install zxp installer and none of that worked ! I then found the app in creative cloud to install and thought wow why did the tutorial not just say this ? so I install and get a prompt saying " you might need to launch your app in intel emulation mode to use this plug in " so I try this, but all adobe apps are current including AE which is version 2022 and does not give the option for intel emulation. 

I try to install file extentions for motion factory in AE and it wont ! 

would someone please share some insight to what is going on with this app and how to get it to work 

much appreciated anyones insight 

thank you

[avijitk15441482]

same here empty motion factory

[avijitk15441482]

1. Download Motion Factory from        https://pixflow.net/product/motion-factory/

2. Change the extension of the Motion Factory file which you've downloaded from our site (motion-factory-setup.zxp to motion-factory-setup.zip)

*You can do it by renaming the file.

3. Extract the file

4. Put the folders and files into the following path:

WINDOWS

C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\CEP\extensions\com.pixflow.motionfactory
