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.

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.

“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.”

“I started my motion graphics company over a decade ago but this is a tool I come back to over and over again with each client. Simple installation and powerful results.”

“As a seasoned animator with over 25 years of experience, I've found that few tools truly make a significant impact on productivity and scalability. However, Motion from Mt. Mograph is an exception—it's not only a helpful aid in my creative process, but it's also one of the most invaluable tools I use daily. In terms of cost-effectiveness, Motion has proven to be worth its weight in gold. On average, it saves me $50-100 per day in time that would otherwise be spent navigating through unnecessary UI/UX elements in the host application. This tool not only saves me time and money but also enables me to focus on the essence of my work—creating delightful and engaging animations. I want to express my sincere gratitude for the consistent dedication and effort you put into supporting and refining this tool over the past decade. It has been instrumental in shaping my career, and I look forward to continuing to benefit from it in the years to come.”

“I'm a designer who has always had a minor hand in motion (I could make designs wiggle, but would never consider myself an animator or editor). With Mt. Mograph I feel like I have finally unlocked the understanding and speed that makes motion a marketable skillset in my toolbox.”

“I love Motion. It has been my No. 1 tool for 2D motion design in After Effects for years. I could not imagine my work without it, and this is a rare occasion compared to any other script or plugin.”

“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!”

“I've used Motion regularly for some time and lead a small team of designers who all need to work on motion projects several times a month which doesn't allow for deep understanding of the tools. Introducing Motion to the team has been a massive assist for both efficiency and just for the team to play with features, extending their creative output which is fun for them and allows for better, more creative work.”

“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.”
