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.

“OMG! I don't know what I would do without Motion and it's myriad of tools! Simple, elegant and irreplaceable. Motion is also my favorite was to use color palettes in After Effects, even better than tools dedicated to the task.”
Suzanne H
“Motion is the one plugin that is always open in every After Effects project I work on. I have only scratched the surface of this broad and deep toolset, but the tools I use everyday have improved and sped up my process. The team is great and responsive. There have been many updates since I first purchased Motion. It was a great investment that has been repaid many times in time saved.”

“I've tried quite a few plug-ins and extensions over the years, but the only one I still use every single day is Motion. It does all the Bobby Basic really useful things that you'd think After Effects would do as standard.”

“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.”
