This Adobe After Effects Plugin tool is designed to empower creators by seamlessly integrating VidMob Scoring criteria into your creative process. You will now be able to see your client’s mandatory criteria previously set as well as score your creative before sharing them with your team to get a score on which criteria you met (or did not).
Overview of the VidMob Adobe After Effects Plugin
First, you will need to set up the plug in. To do this, please do the following:
Open the Creative Cloud application and search for "VidMob" in the plugins section.
Click on the VidMob plugin card, review the information, and click "Install" and agree to the terms. Alternatively, you can use this link to open Creative Cloud automatically and install VidMob.
Once installed, open After Effects, go to the "Window" tab, click on "Extensions," and select "VidMob."
Please note: You need to be invited as a Vidmob creator. If not, please contact your VidMob contact for assistance.
Once you have the plugin downloaded and the VidMob extension opened in After Effects, you must have a VidMob Creative Studio (CS) account to log in. Make sure you have your account set up to access the full range of features. If you need help with your account, contact our support team to help set up your account.
Inside the plugin, you'll also find a Knowledge Center that links out to our existing help articles. Explore detailed information, FAQs, and tutorials to enhance your understanding of the plugin's functionalities.
Creative Scoring Criteria
Creators can view the Criteria list within the plugin to initiate the creative process in the right direction. Score your creative directly in Adobe After Effects against mandatory criteria and create and save Scorecards for future reference.
Utilize the Creative Scoring App within the plugin to focus on the mandatory criteria set up by your client. Scorecards generated within the plugin will help you ensure your creative adheres to your client’s mandatories. The criteria within the plugin will automatically update, ensuring that you are always working with the most current information.
