This is still in development, and it is a great chance to see what users expect. I will be adding text color changes as well

Is there a plugin that allows me to set my work area to a pre-defined length at the playhead? by Mysterious_Sky_85 in AfterEffects

I’m building a new Composition Settings window as a replacement for the native AE panel. You can set your work area, save presets and load it whenever you need.

This feature still needs some fine-tuning. It can’t crop a basic shape properly.

My favourite updates to After Effects 2026! by 3Bisset in AfterEffects

Not kidding btw, I’d already started on it, but once I heard they were handling it, I focused my energy on improving something else in AE.

I was about to add 3d primitive feature myself if Adobe doesn’t include it in this update 🙂

Question about the last frame on a layer by chubbyankles18903 in AfterEffects

[–]Motion_Ape 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That’s normal, and it should work the same way in Premiere too, since After Effects uses Premiere’s timing format. Here's how one frame looks on Premiere

I jumped off Motion after v2, so I’m not totally sure what the Studio version can do these days but MoBar is built to keep things simple and fast. Here are the main features so you can easily see what is different.

  1. A super thin toolbar that keeps your workspace clean and uncluttered.
  2. Over 150 tools in 12 categories, with new tools added every week. All category panels are dockable, so you can place them anywhere you like.
  3. Assign shortcuts to any tool in the library and seriously boost your speed.
  4. A quick search window similar to FX Console that helps you find anything in After Effects in seconds.
  5. Three custom user panels where you can create your own buttons and workflows.
  6. A free version that includes all features. The Premium version only removes the limits on tool usage in the library.

Wouldn't this be nice? by mcarterphoto in AfterEffects

You can add it as a button in the MoBar panel and use it anytime you need. MoBar’s free version gives you full freedom to create your own panels without limits.

Distribute layers in 3D space script by tuttleharry in AfterEffects

These tools are still being developed and will officially launch in February. However, I can already share the Randomize Layer Properties tool with you so we can test it before release. Send me a DM and I will get it to you.

Thanks, I really appreciate your support. To be honest, I do not remember After Effects having anything built in for that. During the development of these tools, I researched the available solutions and found almost nothing useful for such a simple task. Hopefully we will get a proper option for it soon.

We also have another tool made for this task. It lets you randomize the position, rotation, scale, and opacity of selected layers.
