A quick guide showing how to add extras to the software.

Most plugins these days come with an installer, but if you do have a plugin and you're not sure how to manually install it, this video talks you through the very simple steps. It is likely you will need Administrator access to your computer and be able to see the drive @AdobeVideo After Effects is installed on, but provided you have that access, then you should be good to go.

Installing Presets is a little different, but almost all the steps are the same.
