PULSE Issues
- Extract the PULSE folder (not the ZIP itself) into your CEP extensions path.
Windows: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\CEP\extensions Mac: /Library/Application Support/Adobe/CEP/extensions - Restart AE fully — not just close the panel, actually quit and reopen.
- Look under Window > Extensions (Legacy), not the regular Extensions menu.
- You need AE 2020 or newer.
- Check for extra spaces when you paste — that's usually it.
- Make sure you're entering the license key, not your email or order number.
- Switched computers? Your HWID changed — request a reset from your account page or on Discord.
- Still not working? Send me the key and a screenshot on Discord.
- Sign in with the email or Discord you used at checkout — it's on your downloads page.
- Can't get in? Use "Forgot License" on the login page.
- Still stuck? Hit me up on Discord with your purchase email.
- Quit AE.
- Delete the PULSE folder from your CEP path.
- Extract a fresh copy from the ZIP and drop it back in.
- Restart AE.
- If it keeps happening, check if your antivirus is blocking the panel files.
- Your license is tied to your hardware ID.
- Log into your account, hit the HWID reset button on your downloads page, then install on the new machine with the same key.
- No reset button? Request one on Discord.
- Make sure you're signed in with the same email or Discord you used at checkout.
- Check your email (including spam) for the Stripe confirmation.
- Tried a different email than you expected? Try that one.
- If it's been more than 10 minutes, message me on Discord with your payment confirmation.
IMPPORTERAE Issues
- Run setup.bat first (Terminal script on Mac).
- Restart AE completely.
- Look under Window > Extensions > IMPPORTERAE.
- On Mac you might need to enable unsigned CEP extensions.
- AE 2020+ required.
- Check your internet — it needs a connection to search.
- Try broader search terms.
- The search server might be briefly down — wait a minute and retry.
- If it keeps failing, restart AE.
- Check disk space.
- Make sure your project folder isn't read-only or on a network drive.
- Try the download again — network hiccups happen.
- Check if your firewall or antivirus is blocking AE's connections.
- Try playing the file in a media player first — if it doesn't play, the download was interrupted.
- Make sure you have a project open in AE before importing.
- You can also try importing manually via File > Import > File.
- If the file is 0 KB, download it again.
- Narrow your search terms — big result sets take longer.
- Close other heavy panels or apps.
- Restart AE to clear cached data.
- Make sure you're on the latest version.
Yes. AE 2020+ on both platforms.
- Use the Terminal setup script instead of setup.bat.
- You may need to enable unsigned extensions.
- Everything else is the same.
