No problem! You are absolutely right that I haven't put much effort in promoting my plugin outside of offhand links on the After Effects reddit and such. Now that I have a stable build if PixSort with its feature set being asymptotically complete I can for sure start production of a video demonstrating what PixSort is and how to interface with its features. Thank you so much for the feedback!
Amazing work!! So happy to have stumbled upon it.
Seriously though, get it onto AE scripts ASAP. As others mentioned, the only similar plugin they currently offer is miles behind yours.
Been implementing your plugin into a music video i'm currently producing and have been blown away! I'll be sure to send you a link once it's finished (before end of month). Would be great if it could in any way be used to help promote your plugin!
Thanks!

Oh man this is absolutely great! That would be a great promotion of the plugin! I've been working on a little video to demonstrate and promote PixSort and PixDither and such and trying to come up with a good format and this is a great example of what it can produce!
About AE Scripts: I could use AE Scripts but from what I've heard and seen they tend to take a huge chunk of profit from the people selling plugins there and require an EULA for the user to agree with and a lot of other little dings and attachments that had originally made it unappetizing to me. Hosting it on itch.io allows me to charge much cheaper for it while also guaranteeing a 'you buy it, it's yours' format of purchase(when you buy it, it's yours, you aren't just buying a license for the software,). I like keeping it simple for me and the end-user! Maybe someday I'll reconsider once I get a better insight on how hosting on AE Scripts is like since it does seem like a very popular platform to allocate traffic for the plugin but for now I'll stick to itch.io for its great simplicity and service!
Looking forward to seeing your completed work!
Awesome to hear! Once I'm finished, I can send you some of the clips to use as samples in your video too if you'd like.
Makes sense, you're definitely making the right move as a developer. Didn't realize how heavy-handed AE scripts was with their licensing and commissions. I know it's not fun, but better marketing/user videos which promote your plugin would definitely be a huge help, as AE scripts holds "credibility", which fools many users into believing it also trumps in stability and quality.
Otherwise, keep up the amazing work, and thanks again for keeping your plugins so transparent and updated! Talk soon!
