Hey, looks really cool, but want to make sure it installs and works on after effects cc 2020 on latest mac osx...been reading a lot about problems with effects.xml problems. Anyone know if this works? + does it work with text and shapes? Thanx

Hello ! The product is fully compatible with CC2020 on Mac OS ; the problems that have been reported are all due to the fact that some users try to run the "PE installer.jsx" that is ONLY for CS6 users (so yes, indeed, since adobe removed the PresetEffects.xml file since 2019, you won't be able to install this file anymore, but you DON'T NEED TO DO THAT since CC versions of AfterEffects so I can ensure you it will all be OK !)
If for any reason, the product doesn't your needs, you'll' be able to ask for a refund at any moment afterwhile so don't worry and go ahead
Yes you can use several deformers on a same layer.
But please keep in mind that the more deformers you add, the slower your setup will become because there are a lot of expressions that are pretty RAM consuming (but just applying 2 or 3 deformers should be OK anyway).
Messes up the position of objects--- For instance, a ball falling straight down from A to B will suddenly behave as if there is a keyframe moving it on the X axis.

Could you please open a support ticket instead ?
The behavior you are describing isn't normal indeed.
Could you also send me a video screencapture that shows the error/issue and how you are using the product (in a support ticket) please ?
If you use the parent PSR Constraint you'll be able to add motion blur as you would do with any layer, but if you use other tools (which are deformers based on the native Warp effect, which is a pixel based deformation, not a transform one), it won't work.
But you can still add the AE native "Pixel Motion Blur" effect on top of the warp effect applied by SpringyFX (will be pretty slow to compute) or - better - the "Real Smart Motion Blur" plugin which would work perfectly for that (pretty fast bu expensive)
Something else. Let's suppose there's a Master and a Slave1 layer. Is it possible to have a Slave2 layer linked to Slave1 ? (not to the Master).
Thanks!
Sure!
if you wan't to have a springy secondary motion on your Slave2 based on the Slave1 layer (which has already some secondary motion based on the Master layer), just do the same : select the Slave2 first, then the Slave1 secondly and hit the PSR Constraint button ; it will follow it with a nice springy delay too.
Be careful though, because if you have too much SpringyFX rigs in a same composition, it will increase expressions computation a lot and become slower to preview.
J'ai un problème de calques qui apparaissent et disparaissent sans raison (calque 2D) quand j'applique le Bend deformer. C'est embêtant je comprends pas d'où ça peut venir... Une idée? Je n'ai que 2 points clefs sur la position des calques et ce sont des pngs..Merci beaucoup

Bonjour Marine,
Peux-tu ouvrir un Support ticket à la place si tu le veux bien ? ça évitera de polluer ce thread où je risque de parler technique Merci d'avance
I haven't got the time to test all my tools with AE 2023 yet, but I'm 99% sure it will work since they haven't change anything to the javascript engine and they haven't touched the "Warp effect" (from which is derivated a lot of the SpringyFX deformers) So, if you have a bot more time, I will double check this next week (i can't do it right now), but again, I'm pretty confident that it will work so you can always purchase it right now and if it doesn't work, we'll of course refund the product
because this is expression driven it seems to defeat motion blur. Since with a spring my keyframes happen well before the actual motion, after effect5s seems no to see motion and apply the blur. How would I get a proper motion blur using your product?

If you are using one of the "deformers" (not the "PSR Parent Constraint"), it's normal because the different secondary motion effects are based on a native pixelated effect called "Warp" (so it's not due to expressions). Since it's not really based on transformations but actual pixels, you won't be able to apply a realistic motion blur to Springy FX deformers ; but you can add one either by using the native "Pixel motion blur" from AfterEffects (really slow to compute) or adding a plugin based motion blur like the one from RE:Vision effect called "Real Smart Motion Blur" (also known as RSMB) ; it's not cheap, but it beats any other solutions for motion blur on the market right now
Hi - does this only work with keyframed objects? Or can you use it to add secondary motion to objects that have been animated with expressions?
It's based on the motion of the layer, whichever technic it used to be animated since it analyzes the positions in time, so Yes, it can also work on layer that are animated with expressions, UNLESS you use the PSR constraint onto a single layer since it apply an expression (so it will replace the one you had). But PSR constraint hasn't been designed for being applied to a single layer itself, it aims at creating secondary motion based on ANOTHER layer ; so you can apply an expression (let say Wiggle for example) to drive your master other layer.
i've got the following error message when i try to start the "springyFX.jsxbin" file:
unable to execute script at line 1230. undefined is not an object
Can someone help? I have the current AE 2023 version.
Thanks.
Hello,
This is probably due to a incorrect installation or because you try to launch it through the File > Scripts > Run script... command.
Both the "springyFX.jsxbin"and the "SpringyFXassets" folder have to be copied and pasted in the After Effects application folder > Scripts > ScriptUI Panels
and after having restarted After Effects, you'll have to launch Springy FX through the Window Menu (it should then appear among you already installed scripts, at the bottom of the Window Menu).
You'll be able to paste your credentials after while (that you'll find, once logged in aescripts website, in "My Downloads and Licenses" section)
I'm having trouble using this plugin because even using 1 deformer seems to make my composition preview super slow to watch. Is there anything I can do to speed it up? I'm using an iMac Pro.

SpringyFX uses a lot of expressions, this is why AfterEffects can become slow, especially during preview. I strongly advise you do not overuyse the product more than 2 or 3 times in a same comp, and to minimize duration of the comp and/or layer on which the effect is applied to its minimum. The longer the comp/layer duration is, the more RAM it will need to analyze the transform data needed for the tool (and the heavier/slower it will become). Please also purge your AE memory regularly in order to empty the cache, it will help with AE responsiveness. Hope that helps!
