    Thank you for purchasing the plug-in.
    I am investigating the cause now, but there is little information. Can you tell me the OS and the version of AfterEffects?

    Hi is it possible to get this running on CC18 please? A red cross seems to appear when I use the effect on the latest version of AE. Thanks!
  • Shinya MurakamiShinya Murakami

    This plugin works with AfterEffects CC2018. A red cross disappears by activation.

    I've purchased and placed the plug-in in the correct folder - how do I activate? There doesn't seem to be any instructions with the download about activation. Thanks

    Hi, I'm having a strange problem. I've purchased the plugin and installed it correctly but it is not showing up in AE. (version 16.1.3 - Mac OSX Mojave).

    If I open one of the presets or a file a co-worker created with the same plugin it says "Missing: m's Halftone" despite the fact that it's not actually missing.

    Any ideas?

    I purchased this and cannot export anything that uses this plug-in through AME 2020 on Windows 10 After Effects v17.06

    File Import Error: Could not read from source. Please check the settings and try again.

    Please help. I have the .aex where it belongs according to the readme .txt file, and the license is registered.

    Can you only render After Effects? Also, can you export in AME without the halftone effect?

    If my project uses the halftone effect on any layer, I can only render in After Effects.
    If I do not have the effect in a project, I can render in AME just fine.

    I have confirmed that AME 2020 (v1.41) and After Effects 2020 (v17.06) cannot export cues. We are currently investigating the cause. Also, it worked in After Effects 2020 (v17.05), so if you are in a hurry, try it there

    Thanks so much for looking into it and finding a temp fix! I will revert back to v17.05 for exporting through AME. Seriously thanks! I am looking forward to having a lot of fun with this plug-in.

    It was a problem with AfterEffects, and here's a comment from Adobe
      ”From Adobe: Thanks for reporting - yes, we're aware of the issue and have a fix in testing at the moment. Our guidance to users at the moment is to either roll back to AE 17.0.5 for now or use the public beta."

    I purchased 1.44 not long ago at all. No free upgrade...or even a discounted upgrade? Not happy.
  • Shinya MurakamiShinya Murakami
    Hi Craig

    If you've purchased it in the past, you can download the latest version for free.
    Also, the trial version has the same data as the full version.
    You can also use it by entering the serial code of the license you got in the past.

    I'm having issues on export (it doesn't render). Inside AE works perfectly fine

    Hi Eduardo

    Is the version of the plugin the latest version?Also, can you tell me what version of the OS you are using?
  • Paul DavidsonPaul Davidson
    Even though I activated my license, m's Halftone still produces the "try version" X across my video on intermittent frames. The X doesn't appear in After Effects itself, but it appears in the videos that I output with Media Encoder. Is there a way to fix that, or is the plugin broken?

    I have the latest version of AE and m's Halftone. I'm using Mac OS High Sierra.
  • Stefan GustafssonStefan Gustafsson
    I run AE 2021 on Mac Big Sur. Is this plug not updated for that? I bought it and can't see it anywhere.
  • Shinya MurakamiShinya Murakami
    Hi Stefan
    It is compatible with AE2021.
    Can't you update it with the manager app?
    If you need further help, please open a support ticket here.

    Me again. This plugin does not work if I use it in a template made for Premiere Pro. Any idea why?
  • Shinya MurakamiShinya Murakami
    hi Paul This plugin is not compatible with Premiere Pro.
  • Rob SuttonRob Sutton

  • Shinya MurakamiShinya Murakami
    Hi Rob
    Are you using the same version of AfterEffects and AME?
    If the versions are different, AME may not be able to share plug-ins with AfterEffects.

    You can also ask questions via a support ticket here.

    Yes both are the latest updates on Creative Cloud

    AME 22.4
  • Shinya MurakamiShinya Murakami
    Are you using M1Mac?
    Also, was AME up-to-date from the beginning?
    If it is newly updated, we recommend reinstalling the plug-in.
