Script installation

After running the installer, restart After Effects and confirm the plugin loads from the Effects menu before activating.

Step 3: Activate Your License

Activate with your key

Launch Offset Effector C4D Plugin and open the license dialog from the overlay or panel menu to start activation.

  1. 1. Apply Offset Effector C4D Plugin from the Effects menu in your composition
  2. 2. Look for an Activate, License, or Sign In button
  3. 3. Paste your license key into the field
  4. 4. Confirm and wait for the success message

Keep After Effects online until you see the confirmation banner to ensure the server validates your key.

If the activation window does not appear automatically, reopen the panel and choose the license option from the menu before entering your key.

Enable scripting permissions

After Effects needs permission to store your activation token locally. Make sure scripting access is enabled.

After Effects → Preferences → Scripting & Expressions → Enable "Allow Scripts to Write Files and Access Network"

Troubleshooting

Common issues

  • Panel missing: confirm the files are in the correct After Effects folder
  • License rejected: double-check for extra spaces when pasting the key
  • Network error: allow After Effects and CEP processes through firewalls or VPNs
  • Exceeded activations: deactivate old machines in your user cabinet

Temporary network blocks or VPNs are the most common reason the activation window stays blank; try disabling them while activating.

Quick checks

  • Restart After Effects after each installation or activation attempt
  • Run After Effects as administrator on Windows for the first launch
  • Install the latest supported version of After Effects for your tool
  • Clear cached activations by reopening the panel after a restart
