Earns its place in the aescripts library as a hand-drawn 2D effects pack, though it has since been discontinued and folded into Mister Horse's single subscription plan.
2D Special Effects is a pack of hand-drawn special effects for Adobe After Effects, created by Mister Horse. Every effect is drawn frame by frame, and the source artwork is a vector .swf file made in Adobe Animate, and can be resized to any size.
Colors are customizable, and each effect carries its own set of controls in Master Properties. You can also add your own effects on top of each one. The pack lists compatibility with After Effects 2022, 2021 and 2020, along with Premiere Pro 2022, 2021 and 2020.
This product has been discontinued. Mister Horse products are now available through a single subscription plan, so check the developer's page for current access. A demo video is available.
2D Special Effects is best for after Effects and Premiere Pro users working with hand-drawn 2D effects.
2D Special Effects is completely free to download and use.
2D Special Effects lists compatibility with After Effects 2022, 2021 and 2020. If you are running one of those versions, the pack is designed to work within your project. Note, however, that the product has been discontinued, and Mister Horse now offers its products through a single subscription plan. For the most current version support and licensing, it is worth checking the developer's page before you build a workflow around it.
2D Special Effects lists compatibility with Premiere Pro 2022, 2021 and 2020, alongside the matching After Effects versions. Editors on those Premiere Pro releases can use the pack's hand-drawn effects. Keep in mind that the product has been discontinued and is no longer sold on its own, so if you need it, look to Mister Horse's single subscription plan and the developer's page for current details on access.
2D Special Effects has been discontinued as a standalone product. Mister Horse now makes all of its products available through a single subscription plan rather than individual purchases. If you are looking to add this pack to your setup, the route is that subscription rather than a one-off download. For the current terms, the packs included and how the subscription is structured, the developer's page is the place to confirm the latest information before subscribing.
2D Special Effects is listed as free in this catalog. That said, the product has been discontinued as a separate item, and Mister Horse now distributes its tools through a single subscription plan. Because pricing and licensing can change, treat the free label here as a catalog listing rather than a guarantee, and check the developer's page for the current cost, subscription terms and how to obtain access.
2D Special Effects gives you several ways to adjust each effect. Colors are customizable, and every effect has its own set of controls exposed in Master Properties, so the options differ from one effect to the next. You can also add your own effects on top of each effect. The underlying artwork is a vector .swf file drawn in Adobe Animate, which is why each effect can be resized to any size.
