Generates a beautiful, physically accurate glow. You’ll never want to touch After Effect’s default glow again. The galaxy’s most popular glow plugin just levelled up. NEW: Cinematic Tonemapping, RGB Radius Multipliers, Lens Dirt Texturing, Multicolor Tint, Image Based Glow, Higher Quality & Faster Performance
Swatcheroo is your handy dandy swatch pal. That’s, uh, short for ‘palette.’
Photoshop’s got it! Illustrator’s got it! Animate’s got it– and now AE’s got it, too!Swatcheroo is a super simple panel for applying, reading, and storing colours.No clunky, slow, or weird expressions; no helper comps or other bloaty shortcuts. Just colours.
Paint & Stick – The must have paint tool for After Effects! Draw directly in the comp window, in context of all your other layers with your custom and Photoshop brushes plus onion skinning. “Stick” your paint on 3D renders. You gotta see it to believe it!
After Effects’ built-in paint tool only lets you paint in the layer window where you have no context of you comp. Paint & Stick lets you paint directly in the comp window with any effects, track matters, adjustment layers, etc so you can paint and immediately see the final result.
Cel animation with onion skinning Finally you can have a customizable onion skin in the comp! By the way, you can apply Paint & Stick on an adjustment layer and user the Onion Skin feature to help you tweak any animation not just cel animation.
Use your Photoshop brushes Export you Photoshop brushes using our provided export tool and use them directly in After Effects with Paint & Stick. Our beta testers were really excited about this!
Easily create and use custom brushes Simply hold down a modifier key and click on any part of your comp to capture it as a new custom brush (with transparency!) and add it to your brush library. You will love it!
Super fast, even at 4K resolution! We worked really hard (and long!) to make Paint & Stick super fast. Fast Draw was created for cel animators, who just want smooth paint performance, and don’t need the effects in real time. When using Fast Draw, your paint is drawn on the UI, meaning nothing actually renders in your comp until after you’re done drawing your strokes. By the way, drawing without Fast Draw is also pretty fast!
Stick Features: – Paint your scene in After Effects with no 3D objects inside After Effects required! Using a patented process and algorithm you can paint directly onto the rendered image, no 3D object is necessary. – Magically “Stick” paint to CG renders. Paint on one frame and it will stick to the whole animation. It really feels like magic.
Geometric Filter turns footage into a geometric approximation. It does so by using our custom proximity matching algorithm, which gives it a bit of a human touch, as it can trace contours and similar regions.
The results are somewhat similar to what you get by using the so-called “style transfer” machine learning algorithms, but with much finer control over the result.
The plugin is aimed at artistic audiences who wish to simulate hand-drawn styles in music videos, visualizations, etc. and for VJs.
EaseCopy lets you copy/paste your eases without overwriting your values and copy/paste your values without overwriting your eases.
If you’re like me, you find that After Effects’ standard Ease in, Ease out, Easy ease options get pretty stale to look at. If you like to manually adjust your eases with the graph editor, this tool is for you!
Use EaseCopy to copy those carefully-adjusted eases to your other keyframes. Get started right away with a very quick and simple UI. It’s super compact so you can have it docked at all times, since you’ll find yourself tapping those buttons quite frequently.
An After Effects extension to export animations for web. Animations are exported as .json files that use the bodymovin.js player that comes along with the plugin. You can render animations in the browser on svg, canvas and html. It supports a subset of After Effects features. Animations can also be played natively on iOS and Android through Lottie
A hierarchy editor that converts your timeline into an interactive treeview based on layer parenting, much like what you would find in any 3D application.
Squirrel the Layer Tree Browser is a hierarchy editor for After Effects. If you’re dealing with complicated rigs made of pickwhip spaghetti, Squirrel is here to help out. Squirrel is an interactive treeview editor much like an object manager or outliner from a 3D platform. Squirrel instantly converts your current comp into a treeview based on parenting requiring no setup! A great organizational tool, Squirrel makes your rigs easy to understand and your layers easy to find!
Auto Crop allows you to instantly crop a composition down to the size of its contents. Crop a composition at the current frame or analyze an entire composition’s content and crop without cutting off any animation. Auto Crop 3 now even allows you to crop the current comp without it needing to be a pre-comp. In the newest version, Auto Crop has been rebuilt from the ground up as a native plug-in to provide new features and better results.
Pixel Perfect Accuracy Auto Crop produces pixel-perfect crops based on the alpha channel of every layer within a composition. If even a single pixel is partially visible, Auto Crop will see it and include it in the crop dimensions.
The fastest way to attach strokes to your animated object.
Speed Lines will create shape layer paths that follow your object along it’s motion path, even if it’s parented or using expressions. You have complete control over the stroke amount and styling. Plus, everything can be updated after the script has been run.
Effect Controls
These effects will be available on the Shape Layer:
Speed Lines Length: How long the strokes extend from the starting point.
Speed Lines Offset: How far the lines are separated from the starting point.
Speed Lines Enable End: Locks the end point of the strokes.
Speed Lines End: Moves the end point when ‘Speed Lines Enable End’ is checked.

A cool toolset that allows you to easily create some fun secondary motion, based on your keyframed transform properties ! Whether you want a stylish cartoon look or to add some subtle overlapping actions on your animations, you’ll certainly find the tool you need among the 9 tools available in the set !
Every animator knows that secondary motion is really the key to add these extra level of life to their character animations.
Indeed, several of the famous principles of animation (“Overlapping”, “Follow through”, “Secondary action” and “Squash & Stretch”), are still learned and used by almost any animator since decades.
But, in fact, these same principles can apply to the motion design field as well, it’s even strongly recommended to use them if you want your animated layers to convey an idea of life ! But creating this kind of secondary motion from scratch within After Effects can be really time consuming and tedious.
The toolset consists of 9 tools, available as buttons with some neat icons, that can be organized as a row (horizontal layout) or a column (vertical layout, with or without labels).
The script and its expressions are now fully compatible with the CC2019 version of AfterEffects
No need for tedious pseudoeffects installation anymore, except for CS6 users (if the “missing effect” error message that is popingup each time annoy them)
Generates a beautiful, physically accurate glow. You’ll never want to touch After Effect’s default glow again.
Deep Glow gives you the best looking glow right out of the box, even whilst working in a non-linear color space. It features intuitive compositing controls to assist in refining your glow results. Deep Glow is also GPU accelerated for speed and features handy downsampling and quality controls which can also be leveraged to achieve unique results (grainy or stylised glows).

Diabolically Clever Stereo 3D Compositing
Evil Twin Stereo 3D is a complete stereo workflow tool to help you move seamlessly between traditional 2D compositing and stereoscopic 3D. It uses a deep-level, but minimalist paradigm so that any compositing technique, effect, or plugin you already depend on can be quickly adapted to stereo 3D using the tools provided. As a matter of principle, Evil Twin does this with the least possible interference on the original creative work. Whether working with stereo footage, 3D plugins and cameras or adding stereo to 2D source material – It’s a lifesaver for those who’ve already mastered compositing techniques and want to keep it that way when they journey into the stereoscopic realm.

Take control of your shape layers! Explode & merge for greater precision.
Do you deal with a lot of shape layers, or shape layers from Adobe Illustrator? Explode will take a shape layer and split each shape out into its own individual layer, for finer control & easier access. Alternatively, you can Merge multiple shape layers together into a new layer!
Tired of having to right-click your .ai layer to make it into a shape layer? Use Convert!
If any of your Illustrator layers have non-100% opacity or go outside of the frame, you've probably noticed that converting brings in an empty artboard artifact that gets in the way. No more! Remove it with Remove Artboard.
Now, your new shape layers probably have a tonne of strokes and fills that need adjusting-- that's what Select Fills and Select Strokes are for. One-click buttons to select all fills or all strokes in your comp, or hold shift to find any fills or strokes with the same colour as the selected.
