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.

Re-Key
Save, re-apply, re-time and share keyframes.
Composition
Preview and change composition settings with modern controls.
Timeline
Manage your work area and preview animation in a new scrub method.

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.

“Motion consistently cuts my workload by 30%. It's a game changer and there's no going back- love all the new features that come after every update!”
Kasper K
“I've been using the 'Motion' plugin from Mt. Mograph in my After Effects projects for 10 years, and it's a total game changer. Adjusting anchor points is fast and easy, and the easing options and motion curves add polish to my animations in every project. I can achieve a snappy, professional look by quickly adjusting the curve sliders. If you're looking to enhance your motion graphics, 'Motion' is the way to go. It's not just a tool; it's an essential part of my creative toolkit.”

“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!)”

“Motion is quite simply the most useful plugin I own (and I own a lot of them). I cannot imagine a scenario or project where I wouldn't find it useful.”

“I've been using Motion since 2014. It an essential part of my workflow every day on every project. Everything from keyframe easing and animation to parenting, color and effects are more efficient to create and edit using Motion. Many other tools have come along in the past decade but nothing has taken the place of Motion for me.”

“Motion is an essential tool for every project. It brings features and functions that After Effects buries beneath menus or drop-downs to the surface. Every motion designer should be using Motion.”

“If I could only have one plugin for after effects, it would be Motion (which is cheating because it's really 100 crammed into 1)”

“Motion 4 is absolutely essential to my workflow. With out it I would probably loose hours of time due to just having to click around after effects to get the results I'm looking for.”

“Motion helps me create complex animations with animatable properties, just with a click on a button. Also it makes some repetitive tasks easier, and corrects some of AE shortcomings in terms of user interface and functionality. Over the years it has really become an essential toolbox in my daily work.”
Yann D.
“I use Motion since my first days in after effects and i will use it up to my last project. i really cant work without it anymore. i would pay for it again and again if i had to. also the guys are super helpful with great customer service.”

“Motion is my to go tool in almost every project workflow. It's a time saver, I can reach the tools I need from it's console and just makes the workflow a lot easier, been using it since Motion 1, and would use it for as long as I work in the industry.”
