* Note: Filter bundles not included; check developers for current promotions.

** AE filter SDK info at the After Effects API Zone.

*** Scripts can have UI and serve as filters, so check redefinery.com for

free palettes, scripts, and links to more.

**** External apps and filters to export data from other apps to AE are not included if

they do not run within AE. Missing or dead filters will eventually fall off the list.

One example is Atmorex Fluids, which doesn't work in CS3 and is generally unavailable.
