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.

“A tool that has become essential to my workflow since the day I installed it. I can work without it anymore !”

“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.”

Jonas Greulich

“When I change my computer or need to install a plugin at work, I always make sure to get Motion Tools. I've used Motion Tools in every project since I first discovered it, and the best part is that they continuously update the plugin to make it better and better.”
Weerapat Patthalakul
Motion Desginer
“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.”

“Motion quickly became a necessary tool in my animation workflow. It allows me to work quicker and more efficiently than ever before. One of the best developed and designed plugins on the market.”
Phil R
Aisle 3
“I have used this tool daily since v1. There's an episode of Modern Family that I worked on (Connection Lost). It was so helpful, that I even wrote a fanmail email way back then thanking the developers for saving my ass on that episode. This tool is used in EVERYTHING that moves in that episode. Have you seen Brain Games? It's all over those animated segments. I do hundreds of ads for social platforms, and this is my daily driver to knock out smooth animation quickly.”
