# Duik
The essential tools for animation in After Effects: Autorig, Inverse Kinematics
(IK), Bones, Constraints, Dynamics… Animation becomes handy and easy on After
Effects!
Duik has been tested and is working with all versions of After Effects since
CC2018. That means it works correctly on:
CC2018 (15), CC2019 (16), 2020 (17) and upcoming versions.
It is also known to be working decently on CS6 (11), CC (12), CC2014 (13), CC2015
(13.5), CC2017 (14), but you can't be sure, and Duik does not officially support
these versions.
!!! Note: CS6 has a lot of issues with Script Panels like the one used by Duik.
Duik will work on CS6, but you may have to close and re-open it often to fix the UI
issues you may have... You also have to know that the performance is pretty poor
with CS6.
All versions before CS6 won't be able to correctly run Duik, sorry! Time to
update...
# Installation
## **3 -** There are several ways to install Duik very easily:
Copy all the files from the *ScriptUI Panels* folder to:
You may need administrator privileges to install Duik this way. If you don't have
them, see the other ways below.
!!! Warning
With the other installation methods, some features using third party tools,
like transcoding sound when exporting to Adobe Audition, may not work correctly.
### c. Using the menu for After Effects CC2019 and more recent
## **4 - Restart** After Effects and Duik will be available in the "Window" menu.
# Without installation
You'll always be able to run Duik without even installing it. This is a good way to
use it if you do not have administrator privileges on an older version of After
Effects.
