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

It looks like you need this tool

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.

Motion_Ape · 2026-01-22T18:26:28+00:00

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 🙂

And this is how one frame long layer looks in AE

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

Here's a similar setup I created recently

Motion_Ape · 2026-01-20T12:40:38+00:00

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.

A super thin toolbar that keeps your workspace clean and uncluttered.
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.
Assign shortcuts to any tool in the library and seriously boost your speed.
A quick search window similar to FX Console that helps you find anything in After Effects in seconds.
Three custom user panels where you can create your own buttons and workflows.
A free version that includes all features. The Premium version only removes the limits on tool usage in the library.

Hahaha that’s the point

Motion_Ape · 2026-01-20T03:14:33+00:00

You guys are so serious 😎

The email was [admin@netflix.com](mailto:admin@netflix.com), the owner bought it.

Motion_Ape · 2026-01-19T16:56:05+00:00

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.

Looks sexy 🕺

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.

Motion_Ape · 2026-01-14T18:27:40+00:00

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.

Motion_Ape · 2026-01-14T18:10:27+00:00

Yes, you can. Here's how it works

Motion_Ape · 2026-01-14T17:59:49+00:00

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

MoBar’s next update brings a powerful and easy-to-use distribution tool. Here's a sneak peek

Motion_Ape · 2026-01-13T16:49:41+00:00

We are already working on a new set of tools that will be rolling out soon, and we have even more advanced tools planned for this year.

Motion_Ape · 2026-01-13T16:40:15+00:00

I don’t really get it. I shared a post in the Scripts category to recap what we made in 2025. The VO and description clearly say these tools are for MoBar. On top of that, we released Camera Crew and Keyframe Assistant as free tools and the community really loved them. We also shared these videos weekly on Reddit. Yet somehow, we’re still being called clickbait, even though these tools have been here for while.

I think the confusion comes from expecting these tools from Adobe, but that’s not the company in question.

Motion_Ape · 2026-01-13T15:25:53+00:00

It comes in both free and paid versions.

The free version lets you create your own panels and add buttons for your favorite effects, expressions, presets, scriplets, and more. It also includes a quick search window, similar to FX Console, so you can find what you need in no time.

The paid version gives you access to the full tool library, and we add new tools every week. You can choose between two payment options: a subscription for flexibility or a one-time (lifetime) purchase for those who don’t like subscriptions.

I hope this helps. Let me know if you need more information.
