How are After Effects plugins actually made?

I’ve been building tools for After Effects for nearly 15 years, and over that time the way I create plugins has changed dramatically.

In this video, I’m taking you behind the scenes of Element Supply Co. and showing you how our plugin development process has evolved — from my very first plugins to what we’re building today.

And yes, AI has become part of that story.

But probably not in the way you think.

I’ll talk about the technology, the development process, and why I think the way we’re building plugins now could make a huge difference for the future of Element Supply Co.
