Hello, i have error: Permissions issue with user data folder Please give AE full read and write permissions to the ~/Library/Application Support/Frederik V folder.
When i’m trying run plugin
Hi netgraf, in AE you can go to edit>preferences>Scripting and Expressions> check Allow scripts to write files and access network. During the first run of EVT4 the script need to create a library of effects that are then called. If you are concerned about leaving this option allowed, then after running EVT4 once you can turn the setting off and all should work okay.
How to use this on iMac Pro, please guide the installation process
Are all elements also delivered as a vector image file?
Yes all elements are made directly in AE so you have full access to every shape of everoy elemetn.
What computer specs required for this?
Mid range computer is enough for this template. After Effects bottleneck is usually just RAM of which 16GB would be enough to start.Of course as with everything on After Effects, more Ram and fast SSDs can help improve performance further.
your project come with an extension or script?
Yes its a script that opens a small panel with a list of all the items and there you can pick and import them to your AE scene. You can check it in action in the youtube video tutorials on item page.
please share the tutorials link
Hello,
Really love this template, but I’m having a weird issue I’m not being able to solve.
The arms of the characters, especially female characters, look way too longer than in the promotional video or the gif catalogue. They are so long that the hands are even below their knees, so their appearance become really awkward.
I tried to adjust the size and the anchor point of the arms, but when I do it I just make the animation a mess.
How could I solve this? Thanks in advance.
Hey, There is a layer called “man woman slider” which adjust these proportions automatically. Just drag its effect from 0 to 100.
Thanks for your answer, but the effect was already at 100, so it didn’t work for me.
I also tried to adjust the lenght and thickness of the arms at Null 11 (Limbs Control) but it doesn’t fix it.
How could I solve it? Thank you very much in advance.
Sorry, I just fix it. My AE was in Spanish so it couldn’t find some of the effects. I just switched it to English and now it’s working properly 
How do I apply for a refund! I am unable to do so.
Hi shanyu, Thank you for trying EVT4. We authors don’t have direct control over refunds but you can send a refund request to envato here and it will be solved soon. https://videohive.net/refund_requests/new
Thank you for this. You’ve been helping me a lot to provide food for my children for several years. Hopefully, version 5 will come soon. A big hug, my friend.
Thanks a lot
Happy to help you!
Hi, the animation presets suddenly don’t work anymore, they used to be working perfect. I think the “position”-related presets are not working, “rotation”-related are still fine. Also a lot of them make the AE crash, but crashing is not a new problem and I can work with that… “position” not working is very frustrating. I didn’t change any setting.
Hi, not sure how to reproduce this bug because EVT4 is working normally on all my AE versions including the latest one. I think something could went wrong with your AE or the files where your EVT4 is located so you might need to use fresh EVT4 or AE.
I got the following error when trying work, missing 2 effects: 1) DUIK_Spring_Bounce 2)DUIK_Spring. I am using Duik 17 Angela, what can I do to fix it?
Hi rex511, This error shouldn’t have any effect on the template but in case it has some unwanted effects you can fix it by pasting these effects from the link below into C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe After Effects 2023\Support Files\PressetEffects.xml -> paste in the end, before the last </effects> tag
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ak-To3KB6RezsihndzrcOEbJp6GCU2cb/view?usp=drive_linkExcuse me but do you have the exact route for Mac? Just want to know If is in the same route file as it should be on windows, maybe it is, but I want to be sure with that.
tried Adobe After Effects 2023.app/Contents/Frameworks/aelib.framework/Versions/A/Resources/xml/PresetEffects.xml, but when I pam after I get the message After Effects Error: Pseudo Effects failed to load. And I’m getting a weird movement from the animation “Idea” the elbow goes up when using the pre comp, its ok on the same comp project, but when I put the comp on a comp it moves weirdly.
The path doesn’t look right to me, it should look something like in this video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HAkkmDYSVmg&ab_channel=aescripts%2Baeplugins
Also check if you pasted all the code lines correctly before the last </Effects> tag. Note it is </Effects> not </Effect>
I have my own character designed in illustrator will I be able to add it to EVT4?
Yes! You can simply drag your illustration assets the texture composition and adjust their position. Plus there are controls that help you to adjust details like width of shoulders etc. You can see preview of a customization here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GHho0WmtL5Q&ab_channel=FrederikVanecek
Hi Taerar.
If I need to animate a custom character (in this case an animal mascot), can I do it with EVT4? or do I need to do it from the “Character Animation Pack” template?
Hi sandys, You can do it in both EVT4 and Characte Animation Pack. The system is similar. EVT4 have a few limitations but has bigger library of animations while Character Animation Pack is more advanced and can safely handle all kinds of character designs.
“Unable to execute script file at line 11. File or folder does not exist”
even the Explainer video toolkit.jsx” and folder “(EVT Scripts)” are at the same folder together. what should i do? Im using AE 2022
Ok that was my fault, it runs normally now
Glad to hear! Also please contact support from the account where you bought the template thanks!
Hi, I’m getting this error on AE CC 2022 when I try to open a character:
“Cannot apply “EVT4.1 Rig Control” (Pseudo/EVT4.1 Rig Control) effect to layer “C_HAND L” because you don’t have this effect installed on your system” what can I do to fix it?
please clarify the license types. can i use this kit for freelance projects? can i sell videos made with the help of this toolkit?
Hi there, yes you can use this toolkit to create as many videos as you need on a single license and also for freelancing. For more you can check the support section https://videohive.net/item/explainer-video-toolkit-4/22594089/support Regular license is for projects where people don’t need to pay to see the content (for example youtube videos) and extended license for case when people need to pay to see the content created using this toolkit (for example TV or paid subscribtions)
Urgent question—I’m getting this error on AE CC 2023 when I try to open a character:
“Cannot apply “EVT4.1 Rig Control” (Pseudo/EVT4.1 Rig Control) effect to layer “C_HAND L” because you don’t have this effect installed on your system.
The background scenes work fine and installed running the script as per the instructions.
This is pretty time sensitive, thanks so much for your help!
I tried to install Adobe cc bridge to see if that was the issue but now whenI open up AE and try to open a character animation I get this error:
“Cannot apply “EVT4.1 Rig Control” (Pseudo/EVT4.1 Rig Control) effect to layer “C_HAND L” because you don’t have this effect installed on your system.”
Figured it out!
Are children’s characters also integrated or scenes for fairy tales?
Yes there are 4 character textures for children characters and 2 for babies. You can see these textures and all scenes and components of the template here:

I sent you message please check
please help me. i’d really like to do my project with this template. i read so many good feedbacks. but it’s absolutely not working on my computer its so slow.
i have a super fast/ strong computer. i already tried to work from my local drive, and from an external SSD. i tried quater resolution. i even tried it on a brand new macbook pro max, 64gb ram and the preview is sooo slow, i can’t work with it. i use AE 2022 (also tried 2021) both in english
please help, what else can i do?
After Effects won’t use all the computing power no matter how strong is your computer. That’s just limitation of the software where we can’t do much. I could actually add more functions to the template, but After Effects would get too slow so all authors try to find balance between speed and complexity in their templates. You simply cant expect from After Effects to have instant response time when you are building more advanced compositions. It is however fast enough for production especially if you follow my advice from previous reply. In previous post I saw you to mention rendering time which was pretty standard for the PC setup you mentioned (even not sure about your GPU). You usually preview just few seconds of animation and then when everything is done you just render the full video once.
Thanks for your reply. you write in the support section: Optimal requirements would be something like 12-16GB Ram, SSD disk, i5 processor. Anything more powerful is also great.
and i saw some comments of people who rote its buttery smooth while working. for me its impossible to animate something fluently or even see if the animation fits to the voiceover. there have to be something wrong?
other ideas what could help me?
In the walk and stop animation, the character walks from left to right. I’m assuming there is no walk and stop so the character walks from right to left?
Hi evercastus, no but you can flip the composition horizontally to achieve this. Select composition of the animation > Right click > Transform > Flip horizontally. Also you can flip horizontally parts of your character design inside texture composition if your design have some special details that have to be on left or right side.
Hi, I am getting this error whenever I try to run the script file in after effects, “Unable to execute script file at line 11. File or folder does not exist” what should I do?
Hi ammark561, The script “Explainer video toolkit.jsx” and folder “(EVT Scripts)” needs to be placed in the same folder together.
