Need to Know

  • Last update: Jan 2, 2024. This template is compatible with Adobe After Effects , version 17 (2020) and all later versions. Works on both PCs and Macs. No plugins required.

  • The effects are scalable by changing the layer dimensions and/or comp size.

  • This template has been "universalized", so it will work in After Effects running in any language.

The Fire & Smoke template is not a plugin, so there is nothing to install. Rather, it's an Adobe After Effects project file, commonly known as a "template" because most of the work is already done and the user needs only to make their own customizations. This template is compatible with version 2020 (v.17) as well as all later versions of After Effects.
