AEInfoGraphics earns its place in the toolfarm library by handling the full path from raw data to an animated chart composition inside After Effects, with CSV import, twelve templates, and preview controls added in version 2.
AEInfoGraphics is an After Effects extension that turns your data into animated chart compositions. You can import CSV files directly into After Effects or create your own tables using the extension's interface, then choose from twelve chart templates to generate your chart. Data appears in the AEInfoGraphics panel, where you can add, remove, and reorder items or edit titles and values by clicking on them.
Version 2 introduces a preview feature for viewing the final output before creating it, and multiple data set support on selected charts for comparing two sets of data in one chart. You can set animation and composition durations, choose whether labels display values or percentages, and pick from nine color themes. Data and settings can be saved and loaded again anytime.
When you create a chart, the composition opens with a single visible layer called PARENT that holds the controls for colors, positions, and other adjustments. The extension supports After Effects releases from CC 2014 through 2025. A demo video is available.
AEInfoGraphics is best for after Effects users creating animated infographic charts from CSV files or manually entered data.
AEInfoGraphics is completely free to download and use.
AEInfoGraphics runs as an After Effects extension compatible with a wide range of releases, from CC 2014 through CC 2015, CC 2015.3, CC 2017, CC 2018, and CC 2019, along with the yearly versions 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025. That span covers more than a decade of After Effects releases, so most current and legacy installations should be able to load it. Check the developer's page to confirm the version you are running is on the supported list.
AEInfoGraphics lets you bring data in two ways. You can import CSV files directly into After Effects, or build your own table using the extension's interface. Either method lists your data in the AEInfoGraphics panel, where you can add, remove, or reorder items and edit titles and values by clicking on them. Once your data is ready, you select the columns you want and move on to choosing one of the twelve chart templates.
AEInfoGraphics 2 adds a preview feature that shows your final output before you generate it. You can preview chart templates and the nine color themes to decide which suits your data, though four of the twelve templates have no preview. After the settings look right, pressing the Create Now button builds the chart composition, which opens with a single visible layer named PARENT that exposes controls for colors, positions, and other adjustments.
AEInfoGraphics is listed as free in this catalog. Pricing and licensing can change over time, so for the current terms it is best to check the developer's page directly. Beyond cost, the extension lets you save your data along with all your settings and load them again whenever you want. It also supports setting animation and composition durations and choosing whether labels show values or percentages.
