Supported versions of After Effects

Duik has been tested and is working with all versions of After Effects since CC2018. That means it works correctly on:CC2018 (15), CC2019 (16) and upcoming versions.

Duik no loger has an installer, so you must do it manually. It’s easy, just expand the zip file and drop the files in the ScriptsUI Panels folder. Windows: C: Program Files Adobe Adobe After Effects CC Support Files Scripts ScriptUI Panels Mac OS: /Applications/Adobe After Effects CC/Scripts/ScriptUI Panels. DuIK 15.52 Rigs to AE 2019. I'm in the process of migrating a whole slew of rigs and project files from After Effects v15.0.1 to v16.1.2 on Mac OS 10.13.6. After Effects projects were all created with DuIK 15.52 and I'm now using the latest version of DuIK Bassel. A few questions and concerns. To open the DUIK panel, navigate to ‘ Window→Duik.jsx’ (likely near the very bottom of the ‘Window’ menu). As of February 2018, version 15.52 looks like this: Dock this panel somewhere comfortable in your interface by dragging it from the word “Duik.”. Drag the panel by its name. Alright, we’re ready to start rigging!

DuME – a fast, versatile and easy-to-use Free and Open Source Media Encoder. DuME is still in an early development version, but can already be used in a professionnal pipeline. It is fast, versatile, and very easy-to-use. A system of simple presets makes it very quick to use. It comes with carefully hand-crafted presets suited for. With Adobe After Effects CC launched, choose 'Window' File menu and click on 'DUIK.jsx' In the next window, read the directions and then proceed by clicking on 'Open General Preferences' In this window (as the instructions state), check the box next to 'Allow Scripts to write files.'

It is also known to be working decently on CS6 (11), CC (12), CC2014 (13), CC2015 (13.5), CC2017 (14), but you can’t be sure, and Duik does not officially support these versions.

Note

CS6 has a lot of issues with the Script Panels like the ones used by Duik. Duik will work on CS6, but you may have to close and re-open it often to fix the issues you may have with the UI…

Warning

All versions before CS6 can not run Duik, sorry! It’s time to update…

2 - Unzip the files you have downloaded.

You’ll find several folders and files.

• README.txt contains a lot of information to help you get started with Duik.

• The ScriptUI Panels folder contains the actual Duik Bassel script you need to install.

3 - There are several ways to install Duik very easily:

Copy all the files from the ScriptUI Panels folder to:

• Windows: C:/Program Files/Adobe/Adobe After Effects CC/Support Files/Scripts/ScriptUI Panels/
• Mac OS: /Applications/Adobe After Effects CC/Scripts/ScriptUI Panels

You can also copy the optional individual panels of your choice from the optional Panels to the same folders.

You may need administrator privileges to install Duik this way. If you don’t have them, see the other ways below.

With the other installation methods, some features using third party tools, like transcoding sound when exporting to Adobe Audition, may not work correctly.

Duik Tools After Effects

Without installation

You’ll always be able to run Duik without even installing it. This is a good way to use it if you do not have administrator privileges on an older version of After Effects.

• Unzip all the files in any folder.
• Launch After Effects, and start Duik via the File/Scripts/Run script file... menu.

First Run

On first run, Duik may first ask for file and network access, this is mandatory to make it work (Duik needs to write its icon files, effects, etc.).

Then, you will have to choose the language you want to use. Default is Esperanto. It can be changed later in the settings panel.

Fix / Uninstall Duik

If for any reason Duik won’t start anymore (this happens sometimes when the settings file gets corrupted for example, especially on Mac OS…), you can try to fix it with this simple procedure:

• In your Documents folder, delete the subfolder called Duik Bassel.2. This will re-initialize all the settings of Duik and translations you may have added.
• In the preferences of After Effects, disable the option “Allow scripts to write files and access network” which is either in the General section or the Scripts and Expressions section, depending on the version of After Effects.
• Start the main panel of Duik from the Window menu.

• A checkbox should be available allowing you to re-initialize Duik. Check it, then click on the button to open the preferences and re-enable the Allow scripts to write files… option.
• A few alerts should be shown, as Duik wipes its own files to be re-initialized ;)

Install Duik After Effects Mac Download

If you want to remove Duik, and be sure to remove all the files it left behind, you’ll have to remove its panels by yourself from the ScriptUI Panels and then run the Uninstall Duik.jsx script provided with Duik, throught the File/Scripts/Run Script… menu in After Effects.
