Why we like it

Bento earns its place by collapsing bento box grid creation into one action: press the Bento button and the grid is generated. Version 1.1.0 is its initial aescripts release, and it targets After Effects 2025, 2024 and 2023.

What is Bento?

Bento is a script for After Effects, made by mograph.tools, that creates bento box grids. The core action is a single control, the Bento button — click it and a grid is generated, then continue from there.

The version listed here is 1.1.0, published on July 17, 2025, which marks Bento's initial release on aescripts. It is compatible with After Effects 2025, 2024 and 2023. A demo video is also available for anyone who wants a look before downloading.

In this catalog, Bento is listed as free. Licensing terms can change, so for the current arrangement and download details, visit the mograph.tools page on aescripts. Since the tool was introduced at version 1.1.0, that entry is the starting point for its release history.

Frequently asked questions

Does Bento work with After Effects 2024?

Bento supports After Effects 2024, and its listed compatibility also covers 2023 and 2025 — the three versions named for this release. If your project runs on any of those, the script is meant to work. Users on older or newer After Effects versions should confirm support on the mograph.tools page at aescripts before relying on it, since those three are the versions this 1.1.0 release documents.

What version of Bento is available and when was it released?

Bento is at version 1.1.0, published on July 17, 2025. That release is noted as the initial one on aescripts, so it marks the script's arrival on the platform rather than an update to an earlier build. For the most current version and any changes made after this one, the mograph.tools page on aescripts is the place to check, since that's where new releases appear.

Is Bento free?

Bento is listed as free in this catalog. Pricing and licensing can change over time, though, so the reliable source for the current terms is the mograph.tools page on aescripts. That page shows whether it remains free and outlines any conditions attached to downloading or using it. We avoid quoting a figure here so the listing doesn't fall out of step with the developer's own terms.

Is there a demo of Bento?

Bento has a demo video available online, so you can take a look before deciding to download. The action it centers on is straightforward — clicking the Bento button generates a bento box grid inside After Effects, which runs on the 2025, 2024 and 2023 versions. For the video link, the full description and the download, the mograph.tools page on aescripts gathers everything in one place.
