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.

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.

“Not a day goes without me using Motion. The key features are as refined as they can be and lots of fun and awesome features you could get yourself lost in.”

“Sure it's priceless for Motion Design, but honestly EVERY After Effects user should have it. For the Price, it's a steal. For the Features, it's indispensable. For the value... You can't buy Four other plugins that combined could do what Motion does, and it would cost more than 4x more! It's on every profile, and used in every project I do!”

“I started using Motion a while ago and there's not a single project I don't use it for. The ease of use and the huge collection of tools is just a thing of beauty.”

@ The Known Universe
“Motion is one of the most frequently used tools in After Effects. It not only speeds up my workflow, but it is also enjoyable to use. It is always exciting to explore the extensive array of tools available.”
“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 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.”
