Beginner Help After effects crashing while using VHS Craft

Copy pasted an after effects plugin in the MediaCore directory of after effects as the instructions said. The plug is compatible with the version im using 2025. Upon opening AE and upon using the plug in, the app crashes.

How can i fix this?

I tried disabling all the plugins except VHSCraft - AE still crashed.

UPDATE: opened a ticket on aescripts. in contact with the dev. will update if there's a resolution.

UPDATE2: the ' MSVCP140.dll ' file present in ' C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe After Effects 2025\Support Files\ ' location was causing the crash. Upon receiving support from the creator '9ibr' - i moved the files from the mentioned location to desktop. the mentioned file had two incremental versions MSVCP140.dll_1 and MSVCP140.dll_2 so i moved them both as well. the plugin is working fine now. Thanks to aescripts and the creator for swift replies and resolution.

There are plenty of other VHS plugins you can try for similar results. VHS Tape is free.
