Plug-ins

A plug-in is a software component that can be added to After Effects to provide more functionality to the application. Although many plug-ins are created and supplied by 3rd party companies, not all of them cost money. A plug-in can also be referred to as an add-on or an extension and can be confused with Presets, Motion Graphic Libraries or even Scripts.
