Can not install the extension using ZXPInstaller

Before installation, make sure you are using After Effects CC.2014.2 or higher.

If you receive a message “Installation failed because of a file operation error” when installing with ZXPInstaller, you may have installed the extension by dragging the ZXP-file directly from the ZIP-archive. In this case, please first unpack the ZXP-file and then drag it to the installer window.

If the problem persists,  try an alternative method – manual installation:

1. Rename file extension “Motion Bro.zxp” from ‘ZXP’ to ‘ZIP’

2. Unpack resulting ZIP archive

3. Copy resulting “Motion Bro” folder and paste it into the directory for the extensions corresponding to your operating system:

  • If you are a user of Windows, paste folder into Directory: Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\CEP\extensions
  • If you are a user of MacOS, paste folder into Directory: Library/Application Support/Adobe/CEP/extensions

Note! If you previously installed a folder with the extension – delete it.
If there are no folders “CEP” and “Extensions” in the mentioned directories – you can create it manually.
