Answers to common questions.

Is Pluxel free?

Which operating systems are supported?

Which After Effects versions are supported?

Installed After Effects versions are detected automatically. If several are installed, you choose the target at install time.

Do I need administrator privileges (UAC) on Windows?

App installation is per-user, so it's usually not needed. A UAC prompt may appear when writing plugins into After Effects' system folders.

Do my library and settings get erased when I update the app?

No. Data is stored separately from the app itself, so it's preserved across updates and reinstalls. See Installing the app for the location.

What is a .ppf file?

Short for Pluxel Package File, a zip under the hood. It bundles scripts or plugins with their information (name, author, version, type, etc.), used for sharing and backups. See Adding packages / Creating packages.

Can I uninstall what I installed?
