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.

“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!”

“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 can't tell how much lifetime Motion has saved me already. I'm using it every day and all of my important tools are just one click away, right at my fingertips.”
“My best companion in the animation-making process. Fully recommended.”

“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.”
Puyan Mayer

“Motion was recommended to me at a networking event in college when I was just starting in motion design. It was in v2 at that point, and even then it had so many tools for an incredible price. It has been 8+ years now and using After Effects without Motion would be like using my computer without a mouse. Essential tool from the start and the continuous improvements and additions are icing on the cake!”

“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.”

“Discovering Motion at the Time I did was a game changer for me. It really changed the daunting feels i got when id initially open After Effects. I made the switch to Davinci however and its the one plugin I just wish would come to Davinci because I really love this plugin”
Derek

“I've used Motion since version 1. If After Effects updates or I accidentally remove it AE feels unfinished or broken. I can't work without it at this point. Motion is as much a part or AE as the timeline or the effects panel. (Not part of testimonial: feel free to edit any mistakes. English is not my first language. Thanks!)”
Fredrik
“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 honestly use motion every time I open after effects. The Null and Reposition anchor point alone are two of my most used features. Each of the Mt Mograph products has saved me so much time. I love it!”
