Frequently asked questions

Does Move To work with older After Effects versions like CC 2014?

Move To is compatible with a broad range of After Effects releases, including After Effects 2022, 2021, 2020, and the CC line back through CC 2019, CC 2018, CC 2017, CC 2015.3, CC 2015, CC 2014, and CC. More broadly, it supports After Effects CC and higher, so most modern installations should be covered. You need After Effects installed to use it. If you're on a recent build not shown in that list, the CC-and-higher requirement is the detail to check against your version before installing.

Does Move To run on both Mac and Windows?

Move To runs on both Mac and Windows, so it fits into After Effects setups on either operating system. The main requirement beyond the platform is a working After Effects installation, since it requires the host to be installed. It targets After Effects CC and higher, which keeps it usable across a wide span of versions on either platform. An internet connection is also needed for the license system. There are no other platform-specific notes to flag, so the choice between Mac and Windows comes down to your existing After Effects environment and version.

Does Move To need an internet connection?

Move To relies on an internet connection for its license system, so you'll want to be online when the license is handled. Aside from that, the requirements are straightforward: a copy of After Effects installed, running on either Mac or Windows, meeting the After Effects CC and higher requirement. The connection requirement is tied specifically to licensing rather than to the layer-moving function. For details on how the license system works or any current terms, the developer's page on aescripts is the place to check before you install.

Is Move To free to use?

Move To is listed here as free, so you can add it to your After Effects setup without a price to worry about. Licensing terms can change, so the developer's page on aescripts is the best place to confirm current details before you rely on it. Keep in mind the tool uses an internet connection for its license system, which applies regardless of how it's priced. If you're evaluating it, the compatibility with After Effects CC and higher and support for both Mac and Windows are the practical points to weigh.
