animationPATTERNSpro earns its place in the aescripts library as a keyframe-based easing assistant that keeps eases organized through reusable pattern layers. Its bake and unbake option, curved-path support and copy-and-paste patterns cover much of what an easing workflow needs, and its compatibility stretches from current After Effects releases back to CS4.
animationPATTERNSpro is a keyframe-based easing assistant for After Effects. It lets you edit existing easing types and create new ones directly from your keyframes.
Multiple pattern layers help you organize your eases, and project-wide use of those pattern layers keeps a project clean and easy to adapt. Curved motion paths are fully supported. Copy and paste lets you build your own animationPATTERNS from any motion, while bake and unbake speeds up renderings without loss of flexibility. Fast, easy saving helps you keep track of your eases.
Version 1.023, released on February 13, 2026, fixed a panel crash affecting After Effects on macOS Tahoe and updated the license framework. Compatibility runs from After Effects 2026 back through CS4, covering a broad span of releases. It is listed here as free, with reusable pattern layers to keep easing work organized across a whole project.
animationPATTERNSpro is best for after Effects animators who want to edit existing easing types, build their own, and keep eases organized across a project.
animationPATTERNSpro is completely free to download and use.
animationPATTERNSpro supports a wide range of After Effects releases, running on version 2026 along with 2025, 2024, 2023, 2022, 2021 and 2020. Coverage extends further back through CC 2019, CC 2018, CC 2017, CC 2015.3, CC 2015, CC 2014, CC, CS6, CS5.5, CS5 and CS4, so both current and legacy setups are covered. Version 1.023 is the latest release, dated February 13, 2026. If you are unsure which build matches your installation, the developer's page lists the current compatibility details.
animationPATTERNSpro received a fix in version 1.023 for a panel crash that affected After Effects on macOS Tahoe. That same update, released on February 13, 2026, also moved the plugin to license framework version 4.4.0. If you run macOS Tahoe and previously saw the panel bring down After Effects, updating to 1.023 addresses that issue. An earlier changelog entry also notes the tool was made to work with macOS Catalina.
animationPATTERNSpro is listed as free in this catalog, so you can add it to your easing workflow without a purchase here. Licensing terms can change over time, though, and the plugin's most recent version updated its license framework. For the current licensing details and any conditions that apply, check the developer's page before you download. That page is also the best place to confirm the latest version and compatibility.
animationPATTERNSpro fully supports curved motion paths, so eases built with the tool are not limited to straight-line movement. It also includes bake and unbake, which speeds up renderings without losing flexibility, plus copy-and-paste of patterns so you can create your own animationPATTERNS from any motion. Multiple pattern layers help keep your eases organized, and project-wide use of those layers keeps a project clean and easy to adapt.
