- For
- After Effects users opening presets saved in newer versions
- Worth noticing
- Only tested conversion targets are listed; the page says it checks file readability and confirms the version stamp changed.
Field notes
The workflow accepts a single preset or a whole pack, then offers tested target versions rather than implying every version pair works. Its checks confirm that the file remains readable and that the version stamp changed; the page explicitly says it does not verify that After Effects will open the result. A contact email and GitHub issue link invite reports of problematic version combinations.
