In todays video I go over my absolute favourite plugins for After Effects. I use all of these in every single project without failure. The plugins range from aesthetics to more function based purposes. Some are free, some are paid but all 100% worth it.
Anyways, I hope you learned something new from this video or at least just enjoyed following along!

[@bj0ernaa]

Excellent video! Have been drooling on Deep Glow for a while, might have to pull the trigger finally.. So many recommendations!

[@mapal]

It’s sick! If you use glow a lot it’s definitely a nice upgrade over the built in one

[@itsamit8887]

@@screenods Truly is haha

[@Isatay1998]

great job

[@saumitrupadhyay]

Thanx❤

[@willblue8]

Hey man thanks for the video, where do you source assets such as your animated backgrounds for transitions? Thanks!

[@mapal]

Appreciate that! I get most of my textures from texturelab.org or texturefabrik.com. Although, I sometimes do make my own!

[@e2kw9]

Maybe AEViewer could be on the list too, cuz its imo the most time saving and organizing plugin that exists

[@mapal]

I’ve never tried it. I’ll have to look into it! Thank you for the recommendation

[@creative_land]

How do you decide?

[@DyslexicMitochondria]

Two plugins that are dead cheap and I suggest you to try mate. One is looping plug-in created by Jake Bartlett and another one is Anubis. Time saver af

[@mapal]

I use Anubis all the time but since Ae has native mp4 rendering now I figured most wouldn’t get much use out of it. The looping plugin is cool but not worth it for me. I have so many textures already pre-rendered and even still it’s 4 keyframes and that’s it to loop a texture. I appreciate the recommendations tho! Definitely two plugins a lot of people would find useful

[@syedfaiq26]

please reply you used some texture background in starting of videos can you tell where to dsownload?

[@mapal]

Watch my video on top websites for designers!

[@kyeonnie]

how to download it??

[@rationalnation161]

how do you make that blinking glow

[@mapal]

Added a posterise time and wiggle expression to the 'exposure' of Deep Glow. In this case posterisetime(6) and wiggle(200,.2)

[@rationalnation161]

@@mapal thank you so much

[@Inversiones101]

Do these Pluggins also work if I have Fake After Effects lol?

[@mapal]

I’d assume so but I can’t guarantee anything

[@LiamLodbrok]

50 bucks for a glow effect? Seriously?

[@mapal]

Trust me, it’s worth it. Especially if you make money from motion design. You’ll earn that back in no time

[@marwafikri7741]

If you show us how to make a video like this "Nathaniel Drew" , The way you make the videos is the same, thank you for your help

[@mapal]

I recommend you go watch my friend @Skymography on youtube. He is Nathans animator and does tutorials.
