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
Anchor
Ease
  • 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.

  • Color

    Preview and manipulate color space with sliders and expanded controls.

  • Focus

    Visually isolate selected layers in your timeline and composition.

  • Pinned Tools

    Tools and workflows can be pinned, re-ordered and removed in two special groups.

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.

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.

I use motion in everything I have worked on for over a decade in professional studios around the world.

I've tried quite a few plug-ins and extensions over the years, but the only one I still use every single day is Motion. It does all the Bobby Basic really useful things that you'd think After Effects would do as standard.

I'm an everyday user of Motion 4. I'm so used to having it as part of my workflow that without it, I feel naked. Great product, highly recommend!!

Jamie Muntean

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.

I've been using Motion since v2 and it has been an important tool in my everyday workflow. It's the only paid-plug-in I would choose, if I could buy only one!

Cenk

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.

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.

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!

I have Motion docked into my basic AE interface at all times to keep my flow going. After Effects wouldn't feel complete without it.
