What is it?

AfterEmoji (finally!) brings emojis to After Effects. Choose from over 3500 emojis from Twitter’s open-source Twemoji library and insert them directly into your project as fully editable, native After Effects shape layers. Oh, and we fully support all skin tones, too.

Installation

<aside> <img src="/icons/warning_gray.svg" alt="/icons/warning_gray.svg" width="40px" /> AfterEmoji requires After Effects CC 16.0 or newer to work correctly. If you’re not running this version of After Effects yet, I’m afraid you’ll have to update — go on, you know you want to!

</aside>

First, close After Effects if it’s open. Unzip the zip file that you’ve downloaded from aescripts. Copy AfterEmoji.jsxbin and the AfterEmoji Library folder to your ScriptUI Panels folder. If you’re not sure where this is, don’t worry. Here’s a handy reminder:

MacOS: /Applications/Adobe After Effects (version)/Scripts/ScriptUI Panels

Windows: Program Files\\Adobe\\Adobe After Effects (version)\\Support Files\\Scripts\\ScriptUI Panels

And that's it! Just reopen After Effects and launch AfterEmoji by clicking Window > AfterEmoji.jsxbin

AfterEmoji is designed to be docked into the After Effects interface so it won’t run from the File > Scripts menu.

Pro Tip: AfterEmoji fits really nicely above or below the Character Panel.

Licensing & Trial

We know you’ll love AfterEmoji, but if you need time to make sure, go ahead and download the trial. The trial limitations are:

Limited to one placeholder. All placeholders will be converted to [0]
Quick Buttons are disabled.

To license your copy of AfterEmoji, just copy your license code from aescripts and paste it into the box that appears on launch.

Uninstallation

Well, I guess all good things must come to an end. To uninstall AfterEmoji, simply locate the AfterEmoji.jsxbin file and the AfterEmoji Library folder in the ScriptUI Panels folder and delete them. Come back soon!
