    I was installing the Motion Bro plugin in Adobe Premiere Pro. you instructed me to extract the ZIP file into the Extensions folder. However, I am not able to find the Motion Bro plugin in Adobe Premiere Pro even after restarting it. I saved the folder ‘Motion Bro’ at this location: C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\CEP\extensions

    Hi, I need help. I’m trying to create my own presets that I always use, but when I load them with the .mbr file, it gives me the error “Installation failed. Corrupted package.” However, if I tried to import your test file, it accepted it without any problems. Please help me and other users trying to create their own custom presets.
    P.S. I use AE 2025 on a MacBook Pro M3 Max.

    Olá, bom dia!

    Estou tendo um problema de compatibilidade com o After Effects e gostaria de saber se vocês podem me ajudar.

    Eu utilizo o After Effects 2020 e preciso que os plugins sejam compatíveis com essa versão. Porém, as versões recentes que encontro (por exemplo Motion Bro e outros plugins) não aparecem ou não funcionam corretamente no After Effects 2020.

    Vocês têm disponível uma versão do After Effects 2020 oficial para download, ou poderiam me indicar um link onde eu consiga baixar essa versão compatível?

    Também gostaria de saber se existem versões de plugins (como o Motion Bro) que sejam compatíveis com o After Effects 2020, e se vocês podem me enviar os links dessas versões.

    Agradeço desde já o suporte e a atenção.

    It’s not working.
    It says to check your internet connection or firewall.
    The connection is fine, I even deleted the network and reconnected, but it didn’t help.
    The firewall was always disabled.
    I reinstalled the plugin, but nothing changed.

    I’m on Premiere pro 2025 v25.0 and updated from 5.0.5 to 5.1.4 and now have the problem that whenever I open premiere normally, the Motion Bro Plugin keeps loading and loading. But when I open it as Admin, it opens immediately and I can use it. I updated Motion Bro using the zxp with the zxp/uxp Installer.

    Same Issue happens on After Effects 2025 v25.0.

    How do I fix this? Please help

        Follow these steps to install the Bodymovin (Lottie) plugin without any installer software:

        Rename the File:

        Locate your downloaded bodymovin.zxp (or LottieFiles.zxp) file.

        Right-click it and choose Rename.

        Change the file extension from .zxp to .zip. (Click “Yes” if Windows warns you about changing the extension).

        Extract the Folder:

        Right-click the new .zip file and Extract All (or unzip it).

        You will now have a normal folder containing the plugin files.

        Move to the Extensions Folder:

        Copy that extracted folder.

        Navigate to the following path on your computer:
        C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\CEP\extensions\

        Paste the folder inside the extensions folder.

        Note: If the CEP or extensions folders don’t exist, you can create them manually.

        Restart After Effects:

        Close and reopen After Effects.

        Go to Window > Extensions. You should now see “Bodymovin” or “LottieFiles” listed there.

    It seems to work on the oldest version available for After Effects (2024).
    Since I’m new with editing it’s not a problem today but there should be a solution for in the future, right?
    If I update to latest version now, will I loose the plug in?
