Message me to buy
There is no checkout button. Send me a message, I reply with payment details, and once it is paid you get the download and your activation code. It is me on the other end, not a helpdesk.
Start by telling me which computer you are on and which version of After Effects you have. If Lester will not work for your setup I would rather say so before you pay than after.
Four messages, start to finish
Say hello
Tell me your operating system and After Effects version. Ask anything you are unsure about. No commitment at this point.
Payment details
I send you a way to pay — UPI or bank transfer within India, PayPal or Wise from anywhere else. Twenty-four ninety-nine, or the rupee equivalent.
Your download
Once the payment lands I send the installer for your platform, with setup instructions. Run it with After Effects closed.
Activation
Open Lester, copy the machine id it shows, send it over. Your code comes back and that is the end of it.
Usually all four happen the same day. The activation code is made for your computer specifically, which is why step four cannot happen before step three.
Two ways, same person
Chat
The bubble in the bottom corner is the fastest route. Paste your machine id straight into it.
- Replies usually the same day
- Leave an email address if I am away and it still reaches me
- Nothing to sign up for
Straight to my inbox
Email is the way to reach me. I read everything and reply myself, usually the same day.
- Put your machine id in the message and your code comes back
- Buying questions welcome before you pay, not after
- Bug reports: paste the Console log from the panel
Works just as well. Include your machine id and I will send your code back.
Three lines is plenty
None of this is required, but including it means I can answer properly first time instead of asking you three questions back.
- Your system
- Windows or Mac, and roughly which version.
- After Effects
- 2021 or newer is needed. Help › About After Effects shows yours.
- What you make
- Reels, shorts, long-form, client work. It helps me tell you honestly whether Lester fits how you already caption.
Open the panel
In After Effects: Window › Extensions › Lester.
Press Copy
The activation screen shows a 24-character id under step one. The Copy button puts it on your clipboard.
Paste it to me
Chat or email, either is fine. Mention your order if you bought through a store so I can match them up.
Send the console
Lester keeps a running log of everything it does. Open the Console drawer at the bottom of the panel, press Copy, and paste it to me. It turns a guess into a fix, and usually saves a day of back and forth.
