Hello can we make multiple videos with this plugin?
Hello of course you can since you are following licence regulations. Depending on the content there are some exceptions. Please advise Envato for more details.
Hi, recently purchased this product and followed tutorial. After following tutorial instructions and changing script settings and running the script when I attempt to add character to the project it is invisible or there is a black box in its place can you assist me with this issue? I am currently using a iMac with AE 2020
Hello and thank you very much for your purchase. Can you please specify the language version of AE that you are using? Is it other than English North America? It would also be very helpful to send as a video preview at hello@pictofarm.com for further assistance.
Thank you for quick response. I will get relevant information over to you asap
I bought the toolkit. I can only see the head during the character animation. All other parts of the body are not shown. The animations work without the body parts. I have followed all instructions. Please help me. I use MAC , After Effects 2020
Hello and thank you for your purchase! Which language version of AE are you using? You may experience this if you are using languages other than English North America or English International.
Especially for Mac users is recommended to use English North America for better performance. Could you please send us the specs of your Mac at hello@pictofarm.com for further assistance?
hey why this tool is not under Tools License ....?
Hello. Sorry but what do you mean exactly? The toolkit is under the Regular and Extended license of Videohive.
This link refers to GraphicRiver and CodeCanyon and not to Videohive. The general rule for all tookits and plugins as Videohive says is 1 purchase per 1 product video but there are some exceptions. Please refer directly to Envato because there is a possibility that the exceptions may apply to your project. We have no control upon licence issues.

My pc is core i5 7th gen 16GB Ram, GTX 960 2GB can i work this project?
Hello! Your specs seem a bit outdated but this doesn’t mean you won’t be able to run the kit. You may encounter some short of delay though. After Effects 2020 have improved performance in accordance with updated pc features. Please advice Adobe official forum for more details concerning this matter.
Could you please specify how old is your pc? We can help with some tips upon performance but that depends on the usage and the size of content you are willing to produce. Do send us your feedback at hello@pictofarm.com and we ‘ll be happy to help!
I Upgrade my pc to i9 soon as possible i think then i can work without lagging
I’ve added 10 characters in the project. The script stopping to work on the character and facial expressions panel. my computer has i7 CPU and 16gb ram but this template works very slow.
Ηello and thank you for your purchase!
Please keep in mind that no matter how powerful your machine is, After Effects has its own way of proccesing things.That means, moving rigged characters is always slower than moving simple layers. Therefore 10 characters can be a lot or a few depending on the requiremnets that AE handles.
What you Can do though is: - Plan the scenes that you want your video to have. - Select everything you want from the script, modify your characters the way you want. - After you have all the elements and animations you need, select your Main composition in the project panel. - Go to File>Dependencies>Collect files - Then choose “Selected comps” and tick “Reduce Project”.
That way you’ve created another project file, with all the elements you want. A much “Lighter” one.
Now you can continue to edit it, modify the expressions by hand, change colors and texts but you wont be able to use the script.
Can you please let us know more about your pc specs? You can send an email to hello@pictofarm.com for further assistance.
Hello Pictofarm, I’m interested in purchasing your toolkit and would like to use it for different short videos.
But I’m not sure about the license: Do I have to buy a new license for each and every new video I create with this toolkit?
Hello! Licences ara based on Envato policy and we have absoloutely no control on license issues. The general rule for all tookits and plugins as Envato says is 1 purchase per 1 product video but there are some exceptions.
For more details please visit this link https://help.market.envato.com/hc/en-us/articles/115005593363-Do-I-need-a-Regular-License-or-an-Extended-License-Thanks for your fast reply! I would have purchased the item with a “tools license”, but not with “one license per video” – sorry …
Sorry about that but this is Envato policy! Perhaps you should consider the exceptions that may apply to your project.
Hi. I’m interested in purchasing but i want to know how to create scenes that you don’t have included. For example if i wanted a village scene in Africa.
Hello,
the kit is built in a way to cover most of design aspects. By combining elements you have so many possibilities that you are not restricted only on the ready made scenes that are included.
Our philosophy is to offer a wide range of graphic elements that can be used together in varius combinations to compose any kind of illustration.
Apparently there is always the objective part of designing that makes creations unique. For sure the base we have created can give you thousands of creative options and we aim higher than that by enriching the kit with even more graphic libraries.
In your example perhaps you could combine the desert Scene with seperate different houses in different scale, earth colors and nature elements like rocks, sand hills and sunny lighting. Of course you can always add your own graphics into the scene to enhance uniqueness.
We could even help you in the art direction part if you send us more details of your concept at hello@pictofarm.com
As we like to state Your Creativity Is The Limit and we would be really happy to share your outcome withh us!
Hi, I’m getting an error at the start “this project contaains a reference to a missing effect. please install the following – “DUIK_Two_Layer_IK” – could you help with instructions how to resolve – thanks
Hello and thank you for your purchase! This is not an error. Just click ‘ok’ and continue.
It would be really helpful to watch the tutorials before using the toolkit. There are full instructional videos under the name “Tutorials” at the following path: FrameStory Animation Kit > Extras > Help Files > Tutorials
Alternatively in our Youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLies9_9h6DvU_L6m06nzk_2ReWNw-carc
In your case you should refer to the first tutotrial at 01:24” that exactly explains this alert message. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6pPumLtR7yg&list=PLies9_9h6DvU_L6m06nzk_2ReWNw-carcThanks! – got it now. Really enjoying the toolkit – thanks 
You are welcome! We ll be very happy to share your outcome with us in the future 
Really enjoying the toolkit – I’m not that a big expert with after effects and cant quite master changing the object a character is holding. Is there a tutorial on that?
So sorry for the late reply!! Please send us your request at hello@pictofarm.com
Hello, I have two characters that i developed in Adobe Illustrator, can these be used within this tool kit and can movements be applied such as walking, eye movement arm movement etc…
Hello! If your design is similar to the shape/height of the FrameStory character then yes it would be possible to adapt. BUT if your design excceeds the skin “borders” of the FS character then you will encounter some rigging issues.
It is recommended to use the characters included in the toolkit and work on the designs based on the existing rigging system.
There are so many elements to combine and play around that you might be able to create exactly your AI characters.
For further assistance please email us a preview of your characters to hello@pictofarm.com
Understood and thank you
Hello, I’m very interested in this project. I would like to know if it works well with AE in French. Thank you very much!
Hello! Most probably you will encounter small issues when you work in language versions other than English North America or English International.
We are already preparing the next update within next month and French language will be included!
I have a MacBook Pro with 1.4GHz Intel Core i5 four core with 8GB RAM, with AE 2020 and I can’t run the software. I don’t visualize the characters or can run a sequence. What am I missing?
Hello and thank you for your purchase!
16 GB RAM, i7 is the minimum requirements for macs that AE 2020 runs smoothly. Please keep in mind that After Effects has its own way of proccesing things.That means depending on the specs has different performance.
In your case your mac specs are lower than the AE 2020 recommended so I am afraid this is the main problem. Performance in macs can even be affected from language version. For example English North America version has better performance than International English. Again this refers ONLY to mac users.
We have thoroughly tested the kit in AE 2018, 2019, 2020 in Mac Book Pro 2015, 16GB, Core i7 and works perfect. (but not in i5/8GB as it is not in Adobe requirements)
Despite that please first of all make sure you are following the Quick Start instructions and keep in mind this:
“Before you open the script please wait until the project is fully loaded and the white background in the Preview window appears. After you reach that state then open the script.”
Concidering the specs of your mac that action would take more than a minute.
Also please try to boost AE performance by choosing Edit>Preferences>Media & Disk Cache and change the Maximum Disk Cache Size to the maximum (it is necessary to close all other programs to take better effect)
It would also be really helpful to send us a video preview of the procedure you are following from the beggining at hello@pictofarm.com for further assistance.
Please also advise full instructional videos under the name “Tutorials” at the following path: FrameStory Animation Kit > Extras > Help Files > Tutorials (In your case you should refer to the first tutotrial)
Alternitavely in our Youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLies9_9h6DvU_L6m06nzk_2ReWNw-carcHello, I need a kid character with facial mask for an animated promo. Can I add a mask to one of your characters?
Ηello yes sure you can. You can either use one of the masks (or facial covers) that are included inside the toolkit or you can use your own custom mask.
I want to buy but there is a question: Is it possible to edit all vector objects – clothes, faces, proportions? I mean – not to create a character from a set, but to create elements of my character?
Ηello and thank you for your purchase! You can customize character’s elements according to your design but you can only use the script with the characters of FS set. Does that help?
Hi, I was following the tutorials,opened the project and ran the script but then when I click on a character from the UI After Effects crashes every time. Scenes, Props and Library work fine but characters crash every time
Hi! Can you please send us additional details such as AE version, language and the specs of your pc to hello@pictofarm.com?
I just figured out what I was doing wrong when I woke up. I had the project files, Adobe After Effects and OS all on one drive. I moved the project files to a different drive and everything is working perfectly now. Great product 5 stars!
Glad to here that
Thank you for your kind words!
hi
I bought the toolkit. I can only see the head during the character animation. All other parts of the body are not shown. The animations work without the body parts. I have followed all instructions. Please help me. I use Windows 10, not MAC, does it have anything to do with it? After Effects 2020
greetings Robin Kohl
Ηello Robin, Windows 10 and AE 2020 work fine with the toolkit. We have seen the screenshots you sent but is not possible to reproduce the error that you are experiencing. Have you checked the tutorials in order to follow the correct pace of actions? Do you experience this when you build the character or when you are trying to move it? Please send us a video preview of the actions that you are following and we will be happy to assist you!
Thank you for your prompt reply
I am now sending you two desktop video recordings of my problem to hello@pictofarm.com
I hope we solve the problem
Hello Robin! We finally detected the error and thank you for helping us το spot it! It is a bug that occurs when you use AE in languages other than English. That means that you can still perfectly use the kit in English version of AE while we are uploading the bug fixing update that soon will be available for download after Envato’s approval.
many thanks it worked 
well done Pictofarm, massive project!
Thank you, appreciate 
This is so fresh! I intend to make some safety movies using this toolkit. So I will need to insert some custom props and custom animations where main character is wearing custom work gear and is doing specific activities. This toolkit will let me do this? Thank you!
Thank you Mos-Martin, and yes! You are free to insert custom props / elements to your character and create your own animations or modify the existing ones. Of course this isn’t an automated process made by the script. You will have to do it manually.
Thank you! I will consider to buy soon your toolkit! Have a great day!
Hello! I have an error, after I save the main file under different name, the panel is not working as supposed to even I delete (from interface) the generated character. I have only a head (same head no matter what I choose). I don’t change/rename anything. Atfer I copy again all data from downloaded archive, everything is fine. Any hint about this error? Thank you!
Thank you for letting us know. This just seems to be a filing error. Can you please send us a video preview at hello@pictofarm.com ?
Hello again! Can you also please let us know which language you are using with your AE?
Hello! I’m using AE in English (United Kingdom). Thank You!
Can you please send us a video preview so we can be more helpful? So far we cannot reproduce this filing error following the steps you are describing.
After I have removed AE and I did a clean install of it, now everything is fine, no more errors. Thank you!
That’s great! Thank you
