Thank you so much for this plugin. As we say in German "I bought it blind". Really awsome what you have created. Edit: I just opened the sample projects and played around with Magic Nodes. I have no words... it is even better than I expected. It is worth every single cent! I just need now an additional monitor 😀
@@HollywoodIllusionVFX I work daily with After Effects and Magic Nodes is a complete game-changer for me. What you created with Magic Nodes is something I was waiting for since I worked with Animo CAS and Inferno. Thanks again for this great tool! I simple love it.
@@pierdylll Hi, the short answer is yes. But the camera and 3D option doesn't appear inside of Magic Nodes. And it is not necessary. All the stuff that has to do with animation and transformation you do in the timeline. For setup keyframes I think a timeline or X-sheet is still the best option. Magic Nodes on the other side is perfect for blending the elements together. So for Magic Nodes it doesn't matter if a layer is switched to 3D. Cameras and lights doesn't show up in the node-panel of Magic Nodes. But it is not necessary, for this you can edit them in the timeline.
Bravo. This is the kind of innovation that Adobe should have been adding to After Effects for over a decade now, instead of relying on external coders to make up for the program's shortcomings. This opens up a whole new world in usability.
This is a really game changer for everyone that wants to do compositing inside After effects, I did many 3D and compositing projects and I know how much is a pain having too much levels, I have only one suggestion. For short/simple projects this extension looks already pretty good, but in your videos I didn't see a way to label/highlight a specific node area, for example in Blender there's the "Frame node" feature where I can label specific nodes without grouping them and on bigger projects this is really helpful because you can easly visualize what does a specific node area, so it would be amazing having something similar in your extension. Keep up the good work!
Thanks a lot for your nice comment, it means a lot 😍 what you said about the “frame node” is extremely important and can enhance a lot the clarity of the compositing in case of larger graphs. Actually I already thought about that and this feature will be contained in the first updates of Magic Nodes, along with some UX improvements 🙂 Thanks for your support!!
You're a one-man show...so I totally get the price tag. I'm gonna be buying this as soon as I can! Looks fantastic (coming from a user of both After Effects and Nuke)!
Ok, its really awsome that you listen to the community and make an basic Version for this plugin. I take the Premium Version for shure because i´m really exited about this. I think this is worth Supporting. Thanks!
Magic Nodes looks amazing. I was really stoked to se that its finally out! Somewhere under 50$ it would have been a no brainer for me to buy it now. Given the current price (which I still think may be reasonable) you should also release a demo with watermark. And/or get it in the hands of a couple of trusted tutorial-guys.
Hi Edvin thanks a lot for reaching out and for your interest 🙂 Actually I already cut down the price to offer more affordable plans. But yes I will definitely send it to a couple of trusted guys! Thanks for your suggestion 😍
Thanks Alex, you do an amazing job! I'm happy to use it and now it works well with your new update 1.5 (no more license issue when I open AE). So now the wish list will come, sorry then if I want to go too fast... But my suggestion is to have the capability to able/disable nodes, and a backdrop area (like in Nuke) for the clarity of the node graph... Thanks!!

@@HollywoodIllusionVFX Thanks Alex. And I'm sure there is a way to have 2 different comp with magic nodes in the same project but I don't see how. Any suggestion?

Hopefully they will give you some millions of $ to buy this off you. Anyway if this is real and works, thank you for this.
is it possible to collapse a stack of nodes and save as a preset for multi shot project reuse, a little bit like nuke, recreating a composite node with a certain number of inputs? For example a "magic" effect stack for a character depending on one input.... already feature requests haha
Thanks a lot Nicolas for your positive feedback!! 😍 No, right now it is not possible to collapse nodes or save them as presets. However I wrote it down in my todo list as it is a useful feature, and can improve a lot the workflow!
Really amazing extension. Something I've been wanting for years! I have a bunch of questions, but right now my main question is "Is there a way to use this for multiple compositions? or is there only one node layout per AEP file?
Thanks a lot for your kind comment!! 😍 Feel free to ask me as many questions as you want 🙂 Right now you can have many different node graphs inside of the same composition, but yes it is only one comp per AEP file that has the node layout, the “viewer” comp. However you can import normal AE compositions inside of the node layout! It will import a composition as a node 🙂
Thanks a lot for your positive feedback!! It is not yet possible to duplicate a node tree, but I am actually working on this. It is not so hard to implement it 🙂
@@HollywoodIllusionVFX thanks for listening to feedback and replying back! I really hopes this blows up and become an industry standard workflow in AE!

Hello Mahmoud!! I’ve just released an update for Magic Nodes, so you can now use the usual layers’ controls (position, scale, parenting...) instead of using the transform effect! Merge nodes now detect the changes automatically. You can download the new version from the download link sent to you by email when you bought Magic Nodes.

Quick question... how would I apply motion tracking/camera tracking since the Transform effect negates what's happening in the timeline? I tried linking the Position, Scale, and Rotation to the tracking data on a Null in the timeline, but that didn't work (and also would be extra work to do that each time).
Hi Paul, thanks a lot for reaching out 🙂 For now you can link your node’s position (its Transform effect’s position) to your null’s position. It will work. I’m working on alternative solution to control a node’s position directly from the timeline without the Transform effect
Oh that’s weird... Can you tell me what version of After Effects you are running ? Mac or Windows ? Also, can you tell me if, after you closed the panel or restart AFX, you can still see the “license.lic” file in the Magic Nodes folder (in the extensions folder where you installed magic nodes) ?
@@HollywoodIllusionVFX Hi, I'm on the latest version of AE on Windows 11. After Effects version 23.1.0. As far as the license.lic file, I just entered my license info again in the panel but I don't see that license.lic file in that folder. After Effects is currently open. Also, after I shut down After Effects, I don't see any changes to that folder.
@@HollywoodIllusionVFX Awesome. I'm looking forward to not having to use the transform effect. It seems like there are a bunch of limitations with it, especially if your source footage/renders/etc are larger than the comp size. Plus you can't use shortcuts like CTRL+SHIFT+ALT G to quickly scale to comp size. Stuff like that.
Hello @Fine Studio ! For Magic Nodes, it is actually a combination of C++, JavaScript and HTML/Css. It was hard work but don’t worry, with time you will get to it! If you want to start doing extensions, go check the RUclips channel NT Productions. You will find good information there 🙂
How would you use tracking data or Nulls in the Comp as well as Rotolayers(f.e. Masks on Solids),... with Magic Nodes? Maybe this would be something worth showing in a new tutorial

Hi @Black FXtudio, Thanks for reaching out. If you are on windows, you just have to launch AE as administrator (only for the registration operation, after that you can launch AE as usual).

Hello there, and thanks for your interest! 🙂When you buy a basic license, you get a license that never expires, which means that you will be able to use Magic Nodes for life.

@@HollywoodIllusionVFX ah yes perfect! a sub $100 version was really needed. You'll probubly want a way for basic users to upgrade later on but you will figure that out when the time comes. Looking forward to working with this!!!!
The plugin is amazing and I know you've invested a lot of time and effort to develop it and make such a clean UI. But at $200, I don't think it's so accessible. You have to consider that not many people have the ability to buy at these prices unless they are professionals, and in my opinion, your goal should be to make money by selling the product at a lower price to as many people as possible, not selling it at a high price to a few. In my opinion, $50/75 is the most appropriate price. (Obviously, just my personal opinion)
@@mahmoudmorsy5624 Yes, me too, i know that he worked a lot for this but he can make much Money if a lot of people but It (pros, prosumer, and most importantly to do a lot of Money Little freelancers/casual designers that are the majority in terms of Number)
I agree. It's 260 cad, and at that point, I'd rather use natron/nuke to do what I want. I appreciate the time that was put into it, but unfortunately I can't justify the price
I wouldn't agree on this. Don't know about you guys, but to spend 200$ for such plugin should pay off you in a single project. If you already understand what's node compositing and you see need in that - 200$ is nothing. I spent ~300$ alone in Mr. Horse extensions and later charge my clients 300$ at minimum per project, so investing in these kind of tools should't be a big deal.
Hi is there any discount code for making it cheap as I'm a disabled youtuber and like to get stuck in using after effects but use the default layer editing does not work for me and I like to create fantastic VFX scene? Tim
nuke is not priced competitively for freelancers, and I imagine someone stuck using AE would love the flexibility of node based compositing. Fusion is nice tho

early bird sale??? Price is a bit steep for a brand new addon especially when you have to pay for after effects anyway. But the free doodad is super cool and great for you to offer! Unless its only use is to open others' projects? Idk kinda confusing. ya gotta remember that davinci resolve exists for free, so your value proposition has to take that into account.
Hi Fingle! Thanks a lot for reaching out and your interest. I’ve just updated the website with new pricing plans. I hope you will find them more affordable!

@@HollywoodIllusionVFX ah yes perfect! a sub $100 version was really needed. You'll probubly want a way for basic users to upgrade later on but you will figure that out when the time comes. Looking forward to working with this!!!!
You are absolutely right and there will be a plan for those users!
Please make another Hollywod tutorial ..
Yes I am preparing a new vfx tutorial !!
Como lo instalo? 😭
You get a step by step pdf “how to install” when you download Magic Nodes 🙂
很棒的软件，它支持中文吗？
Thanks a lot! 😍 You can run Magic Nodes in After Effects Chinese yes!
someone tag corridor's wren at this pls
The plugin is amazing and I know you've invested a lot of time and effort to develop it and make such a clean UI. But at $200, I don't think it's so accessible. You have to consider that not many people have the ability to buy at these prices unless they are professionals, and in my opinion, your goal should be to make money by selling the product at a lower price to as many people as possible, not selling it at a high price to a few. In my opinion, $50/75 is the most appropriate price. (Obviously, just my personal opinion)
No you are right if it's 50-75 i will buy sure
@@mahmoudmorsy5624 Yes, me too, i know that he worked a lot for this but he can make much Money if a lot of people but It (pros, prosumer, and most importantly to do a lot of Money Little freelancers/casual designers that are the majority in terms of Number)
I agree. It's 260 cad, and at that point, I'd rather use natron/nuke to do what I want. I appreciate the time that was put into it, but unfortunately I can't justify the price
it says $149 in my browser? (maintenance (if Iwanna) in 2024) And where can I cet an coupon? 🙂
I wouldn't agree on this. Don't know about you guys, but to spend 200$ for such plugin should pay off you in a single project.
If you already understand what's node compositing and you see need in that - 200$ is nothing. I spent ~300$ alone in Mr. Horse extensions and later charge my clients 300$ at minimum per project, so investing in these kind of tools should't be a big deal.
Hi is there any discount code for making it cheap as I'm a disabled youtuber and like to get stuck in using after effects but use the default layer editing does not work for me and I like to create fantastic VFX scene? Tim
I mean it's cool but at this point just use Fusion or Nuke.
Exactly haha
Which one is better for low end laptop nuke fusion or ae
nuke is not priced competitively for freelancers, and I imagine someone stuck using AE would love the flexibility of node based compositing. Fusion is nice tho
@@AkashVFXERA Fusion and Nuke both good, Fusion uses more GPU than Nuke, AE combined. AE is horrible.
@@imaRhaB Nuke has an indie version for $500 a year and NukeX is now subscription only, Fusion is a nice middle ground for me.
Call me curious.
That's awesome but not for $200
for me it says $149?
Thanks a lot for your interest. I’ve just updated the webpage with new pricing plans 😍
