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.

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.

“We use motion in every After Effects project and can't think of missing it. It saves us a lot of time, especially when we work on time critical projects which just need easy animations. It's the first tool we install after installing After Effects.”
