I can't install this plugin in my After Effects 2024, just in After FX 2023. What should I do to install it in After Effects 2024?
in the aescripts + aeplugins manager app (https://aescripts.com/learn/aescripts-aeplugins-manager-app/), right-click and select 'Custom Installation' and make sure you are installing into the same version of After Effects that you are using. Please restart after installing.
Hi there. I love this effect and would like to achieve the same effect with different logo, if I buy plugin where I could get the project so I could replace logo with new logo without hours of tweaking with plugin?
One of the greatest addons ever made for After Effects. The beautiful glow it creates gives my renders a global illuminated feel. Thank you, Plugineverything.

Suddenly having lots of issues with pixelation on MP4 export. Tried pre-comping, removing all other effects, exporting in super quality. Using most up to date software.
Hi David
Could you please open a support ticket and attach an example so we can get to the bottom of this?
Is there a way to adjust the default settings? I want to disable Dithering by default because it increases render times so much. I have this 4k precomp on 32 bpc with alpha, it renders the precomp in 1.65s with dithering, and 1.08 without.
It also affects render times of another layer that I use for stencil luma (700ms or 2ms), I assume it's because the glow layer is dithered even in the fully transparent areas.
In other usecases, the speed difference is about the same, pretty large.
I often do custom dithering on problematic footage anyway, so I'd like it to be disabled by default. I understand the reasons for enabling it by default! (is there a config/preference file?)
First, for anyone considering buying this plugin but is on the fence, save yourself the time and buy the thing! I got this for a particularly glow heavy project 3 years ago and now use it in nearly everything I do. All the examples shown are beautiful and big and fun, yes, but some of it's best work is in it's subtlety. Starting with Lumetri Color to grade the footage, then throw just a dash of this seasoning on it, seriously talking small amounts for exposure and range, and I've been able to recreate the looks of half a dozen old music videos for a client.
Now, to my question/request: Several times I've come across the need to do a lens flare with more than one axis, specifically an X but for reference I'd say anything like the James Webb Space Telescope's 3 axis. At a later point in the video above I had one. So I set two instances of it and set the aspect axis for each to different angles then played with the exposures to get one that looked like just one instance, which doubles the time to render the effect and doesn't quite maintain color accuracy. In this case I also ran Lumetri in the stack but had to put it after which took my per frame time to 4-5 sec vs if I could have run Lumetri first it would be 1.5-2.5 sec. Worth it for the final result for sure.
The question is: Was there an option to create an aspect that has multiple axis within one instance? If not, is this a feature you'd consider adding in the future?
I imagine there has to be a more efficient way to do it instead of running multiple instances of the effect, both on resources and in accuracy.
You guys rule. I've got almost every plugin you make now and'll probably end up with the others by the end of this next project. Thanks a ton!

Hi Tony
Thanks for your feedback. That's strange that dithering is taking up so much processing on your system, I'll look into it. The easiest way to disable it (or any other parameter) by default is to apply deep glow, uncheck dither, and then save that preset as "Deep Glow Default" or another descriptive name, then just use that preset instead of the effect.

Hi Kevin
I saw your message in our discord but I will just post the answer here in case anyone else sees it. Currently the only way is to stack multiple copies which is computationally wasteful. In DG2 we're adding features that allow you to customise the exact shape and style of the glow
Hey! big fan of your product! Is there a plan to make it compatible with 360 or latlong projects? Like VR glow, but VR DeepGlow Thanks!
Hi Pinoux
Thanks for your comment. We don't have any plans to specifically implement VR, though it should be possible in a roundabout way by unwrapping, glowing with deep glow, then rewrapping.
I've been trying to use the Deep Glow plugin in a Linear workspace, and I think I must be doing something wrong, as the results don't look desirable at all.
I've watched the tutorials below already. The Deep Glow for After Effects tutorial gave me the impression that the plugin could produce the same result regardless of whether you're working linearly or not due to the automatic gamma correction that gets applied behind the scenes.
Please see the two images here, which include my plugin and project colour settings. The sRGB_NotLinear.jpg is actually closer to my desired result, but I need to achieve it within the linear colour space. Whenever I enable linear, the glows all bleed out and have a much more noticable falloff. It doesn't look as natural to me as the sRGB_NotLinear version.
Can you please advise if I'm doing something wrong? I feel like I'm going in circles with this.
That's definitely not supposed to happen. Are you on the latest version v1.6? If so, please try updating your graphics card drivers and if the issue persists we can troubleshoot the exact cause via support ticket.

Deep Glow for After Effects Tutorial
Getting the Best Glow Tutorial
For anyone else experiencing this issue, there is a bug in certain scenarios when working linearly in Ae if deep glow's unmult is enabled. The workaround is to disable unmult and then use the add blend mode.
The bug has been left as is to better preserve backward compatibility.

Okay, I'm on the latest version of the plugin and latest graphics driver, so I opened a support ticket.
Hey I also have this strange flicker when using the plugin on the newest version of After Effects. I Updated to the newer DG Version but still got this problem. Even in the render it shows unfortunately.
When I run Deep Glow it causes my computer to shut down without warning. It happens with versions 1.5.7 and 1.6. When I disable this particular plug-in my computer runs without problems. I have a 2019 iMac running Sonoma 14.4.1. After Effects version 24.5. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
I have had some trouble when rendering my comps as of late. I have removed every effect to isolate the problem. Turn out deep is causing this. I run latest after effects and latest deep glow. My color space is OCIO color managed. Turning that of removes the black frames. However I need that for my aces workflow to work. Any thoughts on why this is?
The latest version of Deep Glow is killing my projects. I use it all the time and I just lost a day troubleshooting this. Thank God I had a version of 1.5.5 I could go back to.
aescripts Manager feature request: ability to install old versions.
aescripts website request: ability to download old versions.
Bug Description: Any time Deep Glow is active, previews and renders of a single frame take abysmally long to render, if they ever render. We're talking 100x longer. Even when those layers are then hidden, things take a while to get back to normal speed (as though there are processes still running).

Hi Jonathan
Apologies for the inconvenience this has caused you. We have all the previous versions available for download on the product page: https://aescripts.com/deep-glow/
In regards to the error, it's quite strange that it will indeed render but at 100x slower than usual. I'm wondering if it could be a driver issue. Are you up to date on those?
Would it be possible for you to send me a reduced .aep of the issue so I can try to recreate it on my PC? Please open a support ticket to do so.

Hi Daniel
I haven't been able to recreate this on my end using OCIO aces linear, could you please send me the culprit .aep with the colour settings so I can diagnose and find a solution?
Great plugin in terms of output but I'm having daily problems with the license as I work between two PCs. I have to unlicense one and register the other each time which is expected and is fine - but even when I unregister and re-register on the other PC I am still getting hit with a watermark on the PC that the license is registered to. Apart from that, good plugin

Hi Joe
Thanks for your comment. That's not good. Is this with Ae, or AME? I'm wondering if there's some old IP addresses still registered, could you follow these steps:
Go to your account at aescripts.com (log in if required) → My Account → My Downloads & Licenses
Then next to each product is an info button. Clicking on this will bring up all the devices that used that products license. Deactivate all individually.

Somehow the Plugin it keeps deactivating all the time... i need to deactivate, then reactivate Daily. Also it then produces watermarks when rendering with AME.
