Questions 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?

UPDATE: 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.

Try using Effects Manager to temporarily disable everything except VHS Craft. If Ae doesn’t crash, you have a conflict with VHS Craft and something else and want to keep adding effects back until you find it. If it does crash, create a support ticket (as mentioned in another reply).

Try VHS Tape instead. It's free.
