Where are my plug-ins installed?

Open Effects plug-ins (OFX) Windows: C:/Program Files/Common Files/OFX/Plugins Mac: /Library/OFX/Plugins Linux: /usr/OFX/Plugins These are the default locations specified by the specs. Someone can also universally use the environment path defined by the environment variable OFX_PLUGIN_PATH. This is supposed to be searched as well by the host application. Many hosts also supply a special path for their own application. Consult your host user manual for alternative OFX plug-in path location options.

Currently CC, CC 2014, CC 2015, CC 2017, CC 2018, and CC 2019 all look for plug-ins from same folder. If you are upgrading from a previous major version and the corresponding plug-ins folder below is empty, it means you need to reinstall our plug-ins. https://dev.revisionfx.com/products/by_host/after_effects/
