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.

Everything Toolbox
Single-click tools that automate common actions: Delay for expression-based stagger, Falloff for distance-driven attenuation, Null for instant control rigs, Shapes for geometric primitives, and Sort to organize your project panel automatically.
Tools
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 edited my workspace in AE to have Motion already opened and ready to use. I use it on every single project, it's a time and life saver. They thought about everything and made a super tool that helps you basically with everything you have in mind.”

“Motion is a very helpful tool when I work in After Effects. I use their Easing screen for almost everything I work on!”
Mariano D
“Motion speeds my workflow in a significant way by letting me ease my keyframes in a precise and consistent manner. Other features like anchor point, reverse layer and excite are fantastic too! Warmly recommended 👍🏻”

“Discovering Motion at the Time I did was a game changer for me. It really changed the daunting feels i got when id initially open After Effects. I made the switch to Davinci however and its the one plugin I just wish would come to Davinci because I really love this plugin”

“I've used motion for years, it's been my go to plugin, from all the back in V2 when I was starting out in AE to now when I make sure my whole team has their own copy. Incredible plugin and an incredible value, keep up the fantastic work!”

“Very smooth. Save me many hours with shortcuts, and I have a better control with keyframes movement”
Daniel Johansson

“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!”

“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.”

“I love Motion 4. It has become a huge part of my day to day workflow in AE and I don't think I could ever live without it.”
Nicole Moellner
“Motion basically gives you a smooth shortcut to the most useful functionality needed when animating. No complexity or pain, just get what you need done, quickly and with beautiful results.”
Rune Jacobsen
Morphine Software
“I have used this tool daily since v1. There's an episode of Modern Family that I worked on (Connection Lost). It was so helpful, that I even wrote a fanmail email way back then thanking the developers for saving my ass on that episode. This tool is used in EVERYTHING that moves in that episode. Have you seen Brain Games? It's all over those animated segments. I do hundreds of ads for social platforms, and this is my daily driver to knock out smooth animation quickly.”

“Motion is a no brainer for anyone working in After Effects. First thing I install whenever I'm setting up After Effects.”
Thomas Venge

“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!”
Vicky

“Motion 4 is an essential tool that is always open in my AE workspace. I have used motion every single day for years. At each workstation I use or each update of AE, the first thing I make sure is working is Motion. It has saved countless hours, and tons of headaches. I would highly recommend to everyone if they could only get one AE tool, this is the one I would chose!”
