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.

“Motion is one of those tools that you buy and after a few day you think to yourself, how did I got any work done without this. I recently had to edit on a pc that didn't had motion installed on AE and I was just lost.”

“Motion has long been an indispensable weapon in our arsenal when making premium YouTube videos for clients. After 4 years of using it in my workflow, it has likely saved me months of my time while editing. I aggressively recommend Motion to every editor I meet. Just buy it, this is a no-brainer.”

“Sure it's priceless for Motion Design, but honestly EVERY After Effects user should have it. For the Price, it's a steal. For the Features, it's indispensable. For the value... You can't buy Four other plugins that combined could do what Motion does, and it would cost more than 4x more! It's on every profile, and used in every project I do!”

“I've used Motion since version 1. If After Effects updates or I accidentally remove it AE feels unfinished or broken. I can't work without it at this point. Motion is as much a part or AE as the timeline or the effects panel. (Not part of testimonial: feel free to edit any mistakes. English is not my first language. Thanks!)”
