‌Installation for After Effects CC. ‌

To be available, the SynthEyes effects must be installed in After Effects. The SynthEyes installer does that automatically.

Tip: If you’d installed the plugins from an earlier SynthEyes version manually to an After-Effects-version-specific folder, remove those versions to avoid having duplicates; see the first step of the directions below.

If you need to install the effects on a different machine, you can do it manually as follows. The effects are located within the plugins folder of your SynthEyes installation folder (click Script/System Script Folder then go up a level to see plugins).

Installing on Windows:

1. If you have plugins installed from a pre-Boris-FX version of SynthEyes, remove the following folder to avoid duplicate effects: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe After Effects 20yy\Support Files\Plug- ins\Effects\SynthEyes

2. Create a new "Boris FX SynthEyes" folder:

C:\Program Files\Adobe\Common\Plug-ins\7.0\MediaCore\Boris FX SynthEyes

3. Copy SyAFXAdvLens.aex, SyAFXLens.aex, and SyAFXMapper.aex into the new Boris FX SynthEyes folder.

4. Restart After Effects if it is already running.

Installing on macOS:

1. If you have plugins installed from a pre-Boris-FX version of SynthEyes, remove the following folder to avoid duplicate effects: /Applications/Adobe After Effects 20yy/Plug-ins/Effects

2. Create a new "Boris FX SynthEyes" folder:

/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Common/Plug- ins/7.0/MediaCore/Boris FX SynthEyes

3. Copy SyAFXAdvLens.plugin, SyAFXLens.plugin, and SyAFXMapper.plugin into the new Boris FX SynthEyes folder.

4. Restart After Effects if it is already running.
