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've used motion for years, it's been my go to plugin, from all the back in V2 when I was starting out in AE to now when I make sure my whole team has their own copy. Incredible plugin and an incredible value, keep up the fantastic work!”
Jeff C

“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.”

Parker

“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 covers so many essential tools that speed up your workflow. It almost becomes a standard in your daily use. Once you're used to it you'll really miss it when it's gone.”
