Mac Serum Preset Folder
The Prolost After Effects presets work best in your User Presets folder. The location of this folder varies with your operating system and your After Effects version. Sometimes After Effects fails to create this folder — see below.
Thank you, Ben. I figured it out. I didn’t realize that the LABS instruments were all controlled by one plug-in called ‘LABS’ (instead of a different plug-in for each instrument; each download appeared to install a new plug-in but actually was just overwriting the one and only) and that the AU-formatted version would be installed (the installer made it look like it would install the VST2.

Creating the User Presets Folder
After Effects may not create the User Presets folder automatically when it is installed. You can force After Effects to create this folder by saving a dummy preset. Here’s how:
- Launch After Effects, and create a new project.
- Create a new composition, and a new Solid Layer.
- Apply any effect to the Solid.
- Choose Animation → Save Animation Preset..
- A Save dialog should appear, targeting the User Presets folder. Save the file with a name like
junk.ffx
. Be sure not to change the destination folder. - You should now have the User Presets folder corresponding with your version of After Effects (see above list).
- Install your Prolost preset(s) as instructed.
- After you install your Prolost preset(s), you can delete
junk.ffx
.
If That Doesn’t Work
..then you have to create the User Presets folder manually, like an animal. Make it look just like the file paths above — whichever one matches your OS and After Effects version.
Serum is probably the most popular VST synth of our time. It sounds great, looks stunning, is easy to understand, plus there are plenty of Serum soundbanks and skins available. Since not everyone knows how to install Serum presets I decided to write this tutorial for you guys.
Fortunately, it doesn’t matter if you’re using Mac or Windows, Ableton or FL Studio.
The process is always the same!
Open Serum’s Presets Folder
Start by opening Serum.
Now go to the menu in the top right corner and click “Show Serum Presets folder”.
You should see these folders (this screenshot is a bit old by now, so you should see some additional ones):
If you can NOT find Serum’s preset folder there’s a good chance you haven’t installed a legit license, so make sure to purchase one. It’s worth it 😉

Paste Your New Presets
Now paste the pack you’d like to install in the presets folder. Some preset banks may come with additional LFO shapes, noises, wavetables or skins. Just drag each of those categories in the matching folder, too. Wavetables go to “Tables”, noises go into “Noises” and so on.
However, the actual mix between songs still had to be done by a human.
Have fun
Serum Preset Folder Location
Go ahead and open Serum. You’ll find all patches in Serum’s browser. If you can’t open some of the presets you probably haven’t installed the latest update yet.
