Frequently asked questions

Does AEJuice Trapcode Elements need Trapcode Particular?

AEJuice Trapcode Elements requires Trapcode Particular v6 and After Effects CC2022 or later to run the customizable effects. Trapcode is included in Red Giant, so you'll need that installed to work with the pack inside After Effects. If you don't own Trapcode Particular, the pack also ships as a prerendered version that works in any video editor. Check the developer's page for current details on both formats before setting up your project.

Can I use AEJuice Trapcode Elements without After Effects?

AEJuice Trapcode Elements is built for use with Trapcode Particular in After Effects, but a prerendered version is available for any video editor. That means you can bring the elements into other editing software without Trapcode or After Effects. For the fully customizable version, though, you'll work inside After Effects with Trapcode Particular v6 installed. The developer's page has more on which format fits your setup.

What After Effects version does AEJuice Trapcode Elements support?

AEJuice Trapcode Elements supports After Effects CC2022 and later. Alongside the host version, it requires Trapcode Particular v6, which comes as part of Red Giant. The pack contains 58 customizable elements across five categories, and running them in their editable form depends on meeting both requirements. If your setup is older or you don't have Trapcode, the prerendered version is an alternative worth checking on the developer's page.

Is AEJuice Trapcode Elements free?

AEJuice Trapcode Elements is listed as free in this catalog. Licensing terms can change over time, so it's worth confirming the current details on the developer's page before you download. The pack includes 58 customizable elements spanning Air, Earth, Fire, Lightning, and Water, plus a prerendered version for video editors outside After Effects. A demo video is also available if you want a closer look first.
