ABSTRACT
Naturally, after having such a great experience digging into native effects in After Effects and using them creatively, you might be curious as to what other effects are out there. I thought that I would take just a few words to whet your whistle about the third-party effects that are included with the current version of After Effects, as well as some other great effects companies out there. Just make sure that you’re temperate in your third-party effects purchases. Often, when After Effects is upgraded, plugins won’t work with the new version. I recently purchased a suite of plug-ins after being told by the company that they would be supported in After Effects CS4. Months later, their plug-ins still do not work, and I’ve wasted my money. I’ve learned my lessonit’s usually best to purchase third-party plug-ins when they’re needed for a particular job.
