The Character Generation System/ Assistant plugin looks great. It looks like it will allow a character to be created quickly without much work at all. I can’t wait to purchase and give it a try.
Hi! Thank you, we hope you will appreciate all the power of our plugin and the possibilities of the character builder. And, great news, new version 2.0 is now available!
Yes, I’ve been checking EVERYDAY!!! As promised, I just purchased. I’m about to download and install it.
I’m going through the instructions right now and I just wanted to stop and say THANK YOU. Your team has created some very detailed instructions with pics. So many devs fall short when it comes to good documentation and tutorials. They assume their customers will know what to do so they skip steps and don’t explain everything. Anyone should be able to follow along providing they read and watch your gif examples. Ok, back to reading/viewing.
Thank you very much for your feedback about the documentation. We are very pleased to hear it, because we paid close attention to it, like the video tutorials and content preview.
I have a question. The instructions say you can install on a work machine and a home machine. I understand that but the next line was confusing.
“At the same time on one unique computer you can activate the plugin simultaneously on any versions of After Effects”.
What does that mean? Do I have to remember to exit out of the AinTrailers_Tools plugin in After Effects on one machine before trying to use the plugin on the other? Or can both computers have the plugin running at the same time.
1) “At the same time on one unique computer you can activate the plugin simultaneously on any versions of After Effects”. – This means that on one computer (e.g. home machine) you can use the plugin on all versions of the After Effects (e.g. CS6, CC, CC 2015, CC 2017, CC 2018) at the same time. For us, it’s all counted as one computer.
2) Of course, you can running the plugin on both computers at the same time if you have such a need. For honest customers this has no consequences. This will have consequences for buyers who want to use one license for several people. In this case, the license will be automatically disabled for all users who tried to activate the plugin.
Understood. No need to use it on 2 machines at the same time. I can only be in 1 place at a time.
However, I was just making sure if I forgot it running on my work and then wouldn’t be able to use it on my laptop at home. Thanks for the explanation.
You are welcome! Do not hesitate to contact us if you have other questions. Also we will be happy to hear your feedback and review about our product when you get acquainted and try it in action.
Hi to All! There is one small step left to get new AinTrailers v2 package, wait for the full release confirmation from Envato Review Team. Two days ago, one of the beta testers, Adam, found one nuance when combining animations. We have fixed this nuance and literally within 2 hours we re-submit the updated v2 package to the review. You will receive a notification to the e-mail as soon as the update is confirmed.
In the meantime, while waiting you can watch our new promo video about v2.0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yICJD5RnU8IWe will be glad to hear your feedback on the new promo.
We have updated the description of AinTrailers v2 explainer toolkit. Now you can also explore the description and new features of v2.
Hello Team, I have bought this tool 2 days ago. I need a little guidance how to use and make most of it.
What about V2? I have 1.3 right now..
Hi Acacia2! V2 will be available within 1-3 days, depending on how quickly the Envato review will take place. Once the new version is confirmed, you will be able to download the new version in your profile.
Concerning the guides, we recommend that you look at the guide “How to create a professional explainer video” by the link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=okmtzAZAPG4 Also we recommend to see all the video tutorials https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLUCv82uMnUm4z3lNwBQ3WkQr5MejiR0jd
If you have any more specific questions, please contact us by email hello@ainforce.com
Hi guys. I’m really looking forward to V2 coming out, will definitely be buying it then. Question in the meantime… I plan on making an explainer video on a mobile app that I’m creating. The app itself will be free for parents, but the school will be paying an annual subscription fee. Which license do I need?
Thanks, Sam
Hi Sam! Regular license will be good for your case.
Pre-sales question. Is it possible to manually change the skin tone on the existing characters to make some black characters?
Hi! Yes, it is possible in the current version and we can prepare a guide for you, but soon there will be a release of the new version.
I’ve seen the same question asked for months if not over a year but I’ve never seen the skin color guide provided. Is it a long process to manually change the skin color? i.e. Editing files in Illustrator?
I know you are diligently working on v2 which will have the skin color selector feature built in according to previous comments, video tutorials and your website. Plus, it seems v1 is end of life and v2 is where all of your focus is at. So, I’m wondering if it is better to wait for v2 but it seems v2 has been in dev for a while now with delays from AE bugs, licensing server setup, etc.
I really like what your toolkit has to offer after looking at the promo videos and checking out your website. However, I'm not sure if it makes sense to learn how to use v1 and then have to learn different methods since it sounds like v2 is supposed to be an "epic" revamp.
So, I don’t want you or me to waste time if v2 will be released in the next week or so. However, if you think it’s going to take another month or more for v2 than I would ask if you could provide the guide. I’m pretty sure I’m not the only one that would find the skin color selector guide beneficial until v2 can be released.
Don’t worry, v2 is ready to be sent to the Envato review, licensing server is ready also. Therefore, you better study the materials on the new version. We specifically uploaded v2 video tutorials to our youtube channel, that people could learn the possibilities of the new version in advance.
We are completing the last promotional materials for the product page, as there are a lot of opportunities in v2 and it’s difficult to show. Therefore, presumably tomorrow night we will send a new package to the review.
Great! Thanks for the update. I will continue looking at those tutorials. Great job by the way. Nice to have some clear and detailed explanations of what to do to get things working properly.
You are welcome! We will announce a new post as soon as the new version is reviewed.
One step away from purchasing, but first need to know if I can create my own clothes and if there is an easy way to put it to the characters?
Hi! Sure, this is possible. You can create your own costume on the basis of one of the existing costumes. If necessary, we can prepare a guide for you.
Next week we will release a new version.
Hi! Great news, new version 2.0 is now available!
Yesterday I received – as a beta tester – the release of AinTrailers V2. Many many thanks for it! The first thing I did was take a look at it. In one word… fantastic. This new release save me a lot of time, especially the new plugin. What I did in 20 minutes is with the use of the plugin reduced to 5 minutes. This plugin is really a time saver!!! And I mean a timesaver. Also the explainervideo’s via YouTube are very clear. The separate templates are easy and fast to import in Adobe After Effects. I use AE 2017 en 2018. The guys of Ainforce did spend so much time into this second version that your buy is the best you can get in the market. In my first command i gave 5 stars but with the release of V2 it must be at least 6. Hopefully it will be a succes and I must say it again: do not doubt to buy this great and very complete template, you will certainly not regret it.
Hi Nico! We are extremely pleased that you liked the new version 2.0 and you appreciated it. This is the best reward for us for a long and hard work. We hope that other users will also appreciate our new version and will see in action how convenient it is. Happy New Year! And happy animation in the New Year!
Good news for everyone! We are one step away from the release v2. The previous two days we worked tight with the first beta tester, which helped us find two problems with the activation of the AinTrailers tool. Today we have completed work on eliminating these problems. So on Friday the main group of beta testers will get access to AinTrailers v2 for beta-testing and review.
Now the official announcement. AinTrailers v2 will be released next week.
Hi Ainforce, could I try the Beta V2 too? : )
Hi Cleconchi! Yes, we think it’s possible. Contact us on Wednesday by email hello@ainforce.com
Hi to you all. I really hope to download V2 this week. 
Hi! Yes, we have good news. The licensing server is ready, we are testing it now. Then we will start preparing the plug-in and the package for release. Tomorrow evening we will make a more accurate announcement. We also plan to provide customers (to whom we promised in advance, including you) with a closed beta access on Tuesday-Wednesday.
Hi to you all. I really hope to download V2 this week.
Hi there, what about the new version? Is there any chance to get it this year
Hi! Yes, the release will be this month. Now the main delay is only due to the licensing system, in particular due to Adobe Extended Scripting limitations, but we are already close to the alpha version of the system. That is, we are simultaneously working on the license server and the interaction of our toolkit with this server.
We can not say the exact time, but the launch time goes on days. This week, some users will get beta access to the new version and if everything goes well, we immediately release it publicly.
I have 40gb of Ram installed and it still taking more than 30 secs to show a item from the aintrailer templates to show up on the main canvas. How do I make this process run faster?
Hi! It’s very strange situation. We need to study your PC settings (video card, processor) and AE configuration in more detail. Because we are right now making a promo video about AinTrailers v2 (~ 5 minutes) and with a lot of materials, which is almost unrealistic for the usual 1-1.5 mins explainers and we use 16GB RAM, 2GB VAM and we do not have such a problem. Please contact us via hello@ainforce.com
do we have to purchase the ae cs6 for operating the toolkit plz reply me soon now i was going to purchase it
Hi Spidey16! Yes, you must have a license for After Effects. After Effects is a paid software. On this page you can read about the available plans https://www.adobe.com/creativecloud/plans.html

I have downloaded aintrailers last week. I could find this folder “Characters Animation template in AinTrailers v2. Folders such as “Aintrailers_Characters_Male. Let me know
Hi Deanswp12353! Thank you for your purchase. Version AinTrailers 2.0 has not been released yet. We made the video tutorials for the new version 2.0 public so that users could get acquainted with the changes and innovations in advance.
To the update 2.0 almost everything is ready except the licensing system, we are working on it now. Due to certain complexities, we can not say the exact date, but we hope that we will be able to release v2 next week.
Do not worry, you will immediately receive a notification of the new release.
Hi, thanks for your response. Hmm…And I am in the middle of a explainer project. Hope you could release v2 soon.
Hi, does it work in AE CS 5.5 ? best regards Hp
Hi! Unfortunately, the minimal version that supports all the functionality – AE CS6.
The most anticipated announcement before the release v2. Full tutorial on the new system of working with characters with an exclusive plugin that is made by Ainforce team. Watch the full tutorial to assess the unique capabilities of the plugin, with which your work with the character will be more convenient and productive, and moreover, will make incredible things easier.
And now in the new version 2.0 there will be 8 character actors and all the possibilities are available absolutely for all actors. Ie 260 character animations (!!!) and 190 facial expressions (!!!) are available for each actor (male, male elastic, female, female elastic, boy, boy elastic, girl, girl elastic).
Get ready? You can see all this in action in the full video tutorial.
We will be pleased to hear your comments about the new version of the characters, the new plugin and the quality of the video tutorial.
