AlphaForge earns its place in the aescripts library as a generator that turns 200 presets into animated mattes and transitions without keyframing, with a non-destructive Rebuild for reworking results in place.
AlphaForge is a matte and transition generator for After Effects. It builds animated mattes, graphics, and transitions from a library of 200 presets, with no keyframing required.
The panel offers two modes. Dynamic produces fast, randomized results you can reshuffle endlessly, while Signature holds precise, hand-tuned looks you can save and recall. A non-destructive Rebuild lets you change anything and regenerate the result in place. Favorites and keyboard shortcuts are available, and the dockable panel lives in your workspace.
AlphaForge ships as a signed ZXP that installs in one click through the aescripts manager, alongside an Install & Quick-Start PDF, and is licensed via the aescripts license manager. It supports After Effects 2022 (v22.0) and later on Windows 10 and 11 and macOS 11 or newer. A demo video is available on the developer's page.
AlphaForge is best for after Effects artists building animated mattes, graphics, and transitions from presets rather than keyframing them by hand.
AlphaForge is completely free to download and use.
AlphaForge supports After Effects 2022 (v22.0) and later, on Windows 10 and 11 and on macOS 11 or newer. It installs as a dockable panel inside After Effects. If you're running a version older than 2022, it falls outside the stated compatibility range, so an upgrade would be needed. For the most current list of supported releases, check the developer's page before installing.
AlphaForge runs on Windows 10 and 11, and on macOS 11 or newer, paired with After Effects 2022 (v22.0) or later. The extension lives as a dockable panel inside After Effects. If your operating system or After Effects version predates these requirements, AlphaForge sits outside the listed compatibility. The developer's page carries the current system requirements if you want to confirm your setup.
AlphaForge ships as a signed ZXP, which installs in one click through the aescripts manager. The download also includes an Install & Quick-Start PDF to walk you through setup. Licensing is handled via the aescripts license manager. Once installed, AlphaForge opens as a dockable panel that you can position and keep in your After Effects workspace, ready for building mattes and transitions.
AlphaForge is listed as free in this catalog. Its licensing runs through the aescripts license manager, so for current terms and any changes, the developer's page is the place to confirm details. The download bundles the signed ZXP extension along with an Install & Quick-Start PDF, and installation goes through the aescripts manager in a single click. It supports After Effects 2022 (v22.0) and later.
AlphaForge 1.0.1, released on 2026-07-06, fixed two issues. The Name field in the Create dialog now names the generated comps and folder — typing "Hero", for example, produces Hero_Result, Hero_Source, and Hero_Matte — while leaving it blank keeps the preset name as before. The Intensity slider is now hidden for the Punchy style in Procedural mode, where it had no visible effect; it stays unchanged for the Elastic, Bounce, and Snappy styles, and for all styles in Designed mode.
