- Paid presets are bought securely through Paddle and then download into My Presets. Buying presets requires an Individual Pro plan or higher. See plans.
You can also browse the full catalogue on the website at captyne.com/marketplace.
"Missing plugin" warning
Some presets use third-party effects such as Deep Glow or Optical Flares. If one isn't installed, Captyne warns you when you select the preset. You can:
- Install the plugin it names, then restart After Effects, or
- Choose a preset that uses only After Effects' built-in effects. Presets marked Native AE Only in the Marketplace need no extra plugins.

To keep all your presets when moving computers, copy the whole presets folder:
- Windows:
%AppData%\Adobe\CEP\extensions\Captyne\presets\ - Mac:
