Requirements

  • After Effects 2022 or newer, or Illustrator 2022 or newer
  • macOS or Windows with CEP extensions enabled
  • A ZXP installer such as the free ZXP/UXP Installer

Install Steps

  1. Download the latest Petals .zip from the Motion Fun site.
  2. Extract the archive to reveal the .zxp file.
  3. Open your ZXP installer.
  4. Drag the .zxp into the installer and complete the install.
  5. Restart After Effects or Illustrator.

Open Petals

In your host app, go to Window > Extensions > Petals.

You should see an empty panel with a skeleton flower and an “Add a palette” button at the bottom. If the panel is blank or missing, verify the install completed and that you restarted the host app.

Free Forever

Petals is completely free. Every feature is unlocked from the moment you install it. No trial, no license, no payment. Grab it from the Motion Fun site and start creating.

Updating

Install updates the same way: download the new .zip, extract the .zxp, install over the existing version, and restart your host app. Your palettes and settings are preserved across updates.
