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
Anchor
Ease
  • 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.

  • Color

    Preview and manipulate color space with sliders and expanded controls.

  • Focus

    Visually isolate selected layers in your timeline and composition.

  • Pinned Tools

    Tools and workflows can be pinned, re-ordered and removed in two special groups.

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.

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
Delay
Falloff
  • Delay

    Universally control and stagger values across multiple layers with expression-based timing.

    Collection of geometric primitives — create pre-built shape layers with a single click.

  • Sort

    Automatically sort and organize the project panel and all media content and folders.
