After Effects does not differentiate between filters, generators and transitions in the Effect menu. You will find categories for all our products. The example below shows filters in the FxFactory Pro Stylize category:
Notice that FxFactory Pro Generators and FxFactory Pro Transitions categories appear under the same menu.
Plug-ins are also accessible through the Effects & Presets palette:
Applying Filters
In After Effects, effects can be applied to existing layers on the
timeline. Select an existing layer and choose one of the plug-ins from
the Effect menu to apply it:
Once a filter has been applied, it can be configured via the Effect Controls palette:
Applying Generators
Generators can only be applied to an existing layer, whose content
is usually overwritten by the generator. In After Effects, it is common
practice to create a new empty layer by selecting the Layer > New > Solid... menu command:
In most cases, you should make sure the new layer has the same dimensions as the composition, by clicking the Make Comp Size button before creating the solid layer:
Plug-ins in After Effects are configured exclusively via effect
parameters. Generators sport an extra parameter at the end of the list
called Composite on Original:
The Composite on Original parameter is helpful
when you apply a generator over an existing clip (rather than a solid
layer) to have the output of the generator rendered over the existing
media.
Applying Transitions
As a compositing and motion graphics tool, After Effects lacks
support for transition-style effects. In particular, it does not allow
effects to be applied in-between clips. FxFactory allows you to use
transitions by treating them as filters. The incoming clip is specified
via an additional Transition Layer parameter:
The transition effect normally animates over the duration of the clip. You can customize this behavior by disabling the Transition Progress: Automatic parameter, and keyframing the Transition Progress parameter below it.
