Motion Studio
gold-standardmotion design toolkit
Trusted worldwide in production workflows
Gold-standard Suite
Core interactions used in every session: one-click anchor point snapping, inline speed graph editing, fill/stroke color controls, and layer isolation via Focus groups. Used by professionals worldwide since 2013.
Pinned Tools
Tools and workflows can be pinned, re-ordered and removed in two special groups.
Anchor
Snap layer Anchor Points to bounding box margins in one-click.
Ease
Adjust keyframe speed by dragging your cursor in the graph, or using mirrored slider controls.

Pages of Motion
Five dedicated pages inside the extension: advanced easing with cubic, speed, and influence graphs; Color for fill, stroke, hue, saturation, and vibrance controls; Focus for layer isolation and group management; a full Tools library browser; and a search page to find and launch any tool, setting, or recent action.
Search
Find and launch tools, settings, preferences and browse your recent tool runs.
Advanced Easing
Edit and manipulate keyframe speed, influence and value without visiting the Graph Editor.
Focus
Isolate and control layers and groups.

The tools library is always getting new releases, like Re-Key, Grids and Key Assist — new methods to explore animation.
Delay
Universally control and stagger values across multiple layers with expression-based timing.
Falloff
Manipulate properties with spatial attenuation — animate values based on distance from a source.

“I honestly use motion every time I open after effects. The Null and Reposition anchor point alone are two of my most used features. Each of the Mt Mograph products has saved me so much time. I love it!”

“I've been using Motion since it first came out... and it's become the preeminent AE tool in my toolbox. It would be hard to go back to pre-Motion days and still get things done as quickly and enjoyably. It brings so much functionality to the table. In my opinion, it's truly one of the most essential plugins for After Effects, and I can't recommend it enough.”

“I LOVE Motion, it's become a regular part of my workflow and it's saved me SO MUCH time. Animation takes a lot of time as it is so anything to help speed things up is fantastic. I would recommend it to everyone that uses After Effects regularly. I particularly love the Sort function as I am very messy with all my folders and comps, so I don't feel bad if other people have to work with my files any more!”

“Motion was a game changer for me when I was getting into motion graphics and I use it in every after effects project I create. It is one of the few tools I feel absolutely no regret buying.”
