System Requirements
Workflower is compatible with:
- After Effects 2022
- After Effects 2021
- After Effects 2020
- After Effects CC 2019
- After Effects CC 2018
Unfortunately, Workflower's matting tools are mostly incompatible with After Effects' new Selectable Track Mattes feature which has been introduced in After Effects 2023.
I'm working on an update for Workflower's matting tools to conform to the new system but for the time being, you will have to stick with After Effects 2022 or below.
Workflower works on Windows and Mac.
Be aware that the Mac version has a few limitations compared to the Windows version:
- You can only set a maximum of 20 shortcuts. Also, if you choose to use the maximum number of shortcuts, you can't use shortcuts on any other script. Reduce the number of Workflower shortcuts to be able to set shortcuts on other scripts. On Windows, on the other hand, you can set as many shortcuts as you want and it won't compromise on the number of shortcuts you're able to set for other scripts.
- You cannot use certain character combinations in your layer names anymore. Read up here for more information.
For most Japanese users on Windows, there are two limitations:
- Single Script shortcut mode (which allows for an unlimited amount of shortcuts) doesn't work when the OS language is Japanese. You will either have to switch the OS language to US or similar, or use Individual Scripts mode instead. So, as on Mac, you can only use a maximum of 20 shortcuts. Also, if you choose to use the maximum number of shortcuts, you can't use shortcuts on any other script. Reduce the number of Workflower shortcuts to be able to set shortcuts on other scripts.
- Setting custom shortcuts on Workflower's shortcuts panel doesn't work when the OS language is Japanese. Temporarily switch the OS language to US or similar to set custom shortcuts. Read up here for information on how to do it.
Unfortunately, these issues are caused by an AE bug. It has been reported to Adobe but as long as Adobe hasn't fixed this, you will have to rely on the solutions mentioned above.
If you encounter any other issues relating to your OS language, please contact customer support! We try to fix every issue or at least figure out a workaround for the time being.
You can easily exchange After Effects projects that were created with Workflower between Windows and Mac. For more information, read up here.
As of version 1.0.4, Workflower supports the use of KBar buttons. Click here for instructions on how to set it up.
