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.

Preview and manipulate color space with sliders and expanded controls.
Focus
Visually isolate selected layers in your timeline and composition.

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.

Animation Assistant
Studio-exclusive tools for advanced workflows: Re-Key saves and recalls keyframe libraries, Mini panels give you lightweight custom toolbars, and Key Assist auto-sets bulk keyframes with a property listener.
Key-Assist
Auto-set bulk keyframes with a "property listener assistant."
Re-Key
Save and re-apply keyframes in a custom library.
Minis
Customize a lightweight companion extension of your favorite tools, libraries and After Effects system commands.

“I've been using Motion for years and it's the one plug in that i first install anytime im on a new machine or update my AE. I use so many parts of it but honestly i probably use the more of the simplest features and it just make my workflow so much faster.”
Tagori M V
“Motion is essential in my MoGraph workflow. The ability to quickly ramp easing on keyframes is the best!”

@artis_film
“I find Motion an essential ser of tools that not only help me save time, but also help me standardize animations, and create with a single click. Every motion artist should have Motion a standard tool to use in every single project, every day.”

@ Vicente Iannone - Audio-visual communication
“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.”

“The number of tools in Motion are astounding, and range from the why-isn't-this-already-part-of-After-Effects to the more esoteric. Every so often I will go back over some of the startup tutorials and inevitably a newly (re)discovered tool will suddenly become an indispensable part of my work flow.”
Mark R

“I use motion in broadcast design to give graphics that extra pro look and ease. Considering I work in the non-profit sector, the Motion tool prevents our presentations from looking like middle school morning announcement cheese and more like a real news channel!”
Fr. Chris

“I produce tens of videos every week and I really do use Motion in every single project; the ease of access to easing tools, and anchor point adjustments, would make it worth every penny by themselves - let alone all the other amazing tools that are packaged up with the plugin!”

“Everyone's got core tools that they use and Motion is one of mine. It's a tool that has paid for itself dozens of times over the years. I've used this for everything from small non-profit logo animations to fortune 500 year in review presentations.”

“If I was stranded on desert island and I was only allowed one after effects extension motion would be it.”

“Motion 1, 2, 3, 4 have saved me so much time. And not only that, it's tools boost what I want to achieve creative side. Delay, Excite, Dynamics are my favorites. The color and ease panels are so integrated with my workflow that without it it's not AE anymore. Ps. Could be edited for better gramar.”
