Adding scripts & plugins

Register scripts and plugins into your Pluxel library.

How to add

  • Drag & drop — Drop files or folders onto the Pluxel window
  • From the menu — Top menu File → Add scripts & plugins

Drop a whole folder to register its contents as a single item.

Supported file types

Type Extensions
Script .jsx / .js / .jsxbin
ScriptUI panel .jsx / .jsxbin
Effect plugin .plugin / .aex
CEP extension .zxp
Installer .pkg / .exe / .msi

The type is detected automatically on add. If it's wrong, change the install type in Editing details.

Bundling companion files

A .jsx script often ships with .ffx presets or image folders for its panel. Keep these in the same item and they are placed together at install time.

  • To add companion files later, use Add files / Add folder in the detail panel.
  • See Editing details for more.

Script vs. ScriptUI panel

Even for the same .jsx, After Effects distinguishes files that go in Scripts from those in ScriptUI Panels. Pluxel manages them by type and installs each into the correct folder.
