AfterEffects Integration

Requirements: This extension requires use of Javascript engine, which is available since CC 16.0. Please check your File>Project Settings>Expressions>Expressions Engine

Setup

The After Effects integration requires two components to work; extension and server.

Extension

To install the extension download Extension Manager Command Line tool (ExManCmd).

ExManCmd /install {path to avalon-core}\avalon\photoshop\extension.zxp

OR download Anastasiys Extension Manager

Server

The easiest way to get the server and After Effects launch is with:

python -c ^"import avalon.photoshop;avalon.aftereffects.launch(""c:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe After Effects 2020\Support Files\AfterFX.exe"")^"

avalon.aftereffects.launch launches the application and server, and also closes the server when After Effects exists.

Usage

The After Effects extension can be found under Window > Extensions > OpenPype. Once launched you should be presented with a panel like this:

Avalon Panel

Developing

Extension

When developing the extension you can load it unsigned.
