This template has been "universalized", so it will work in After Effects running in any language.
The Creation VHS Effects 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 17 (2020) as well as all later versions of After Effects. Older versions of the template are available on request, compatible with versions of AE as far back as CS4.
