Merge animated vectors, power up keyframe simplification with a new algorithm, save new Rename tag presets and more.

New Tool: Merge

Combine multiple vector shape layers into an identical single shape layer. Non-destructive merge to convert keyframes, rewrite expressions and maintain parent chains.

Key Clean: Tolerance

Key Clean has a brand new engine that can simplify and crunch huge sets of keyframes on any property. A brand new Tolerance slider cleans up keys within a set percentage or pixel distance of each other.

Rename: Tags and Presets

Use and create new parsing patterns to rename bulk layers with Presets and Tags. Or, Find & Replace text in layer names project wide.

Mesh Layer Support

The complete Motion Studio toolkit supports the new Mesh Layers in After Effects. Use any tool, expression or workflow on Mesh Layers and Motion Studio does the tricky setups.
