Why we like it

Earns its place in the Superhive library as a focused Blender-to-After-Effects utility with broad version support and a single-click export workflow.

What is Blender Markers To Ae?

Blender Markers To Ae bridges Blender's timeline and Adobe After Effects. The add-on exports your Blender timeline markers along with their comments, and automatically includes the names of any cameras bound to those markers. Markers are exported as composition markers in After Effects, and an option to delete existing markers is included.

Setup follows Blender's usual process: install the add-on zip file through Blender's preferences. Before exporting, you set the After Effects path variable based on your operating system — typically the Support Files folder on Windows or the Applications folder on Mac OS. Once that path is set, exporting your markers is a single step.

Documentation is provided, and a video demo is available. The add-on supports a wide range of Blender versions, from 2.8 through 4.2, and is released under the GPL license. Version 1.0.2 fixed a missing script directory error introduced by changes to Blender 3.6's API.

Who is Blender Markers To Ae best for?

Frequently asked questions

What Blender versions does Blender Markers To Ae support?

Blender Markers To Ae supports a wide range of Blender releases, spanning versions 2.8 through 4.2 — including 2.81, 2.82, 2.83, 2.9, 2.91, 2.92, 2.93, and the 3.x and 4.x series up to 4.2. This broad coverage means it works across older and current Blender installations. Version 1.0.2 also fixed a missing script directory error that was introduced by changes to Blender 3.6's API, keeping the add-on functional on that release.

How do I install Blender Markers To Ae?

Blender Markers To Ae installs as a Blender add-on zip file through Blender's preferences, following the usual add-on installation method. After installing, you set the After Effects path variable based on your operating system — typically the Support Files folder inside Program Files on Windows, or the Applications folder on Mac OS. Once that path is configured, exporting your markers is a single step. Documentation is provided to guide the setup process.

Does Blender Markers To Ae export camera information?

Blender Markers To Ae automatically exports the names of cameras bound to markers as part of the export. Alongside this, it exports the timeline markers themselves and their comments, and writes markers as composition markers in the After Effects project. There is also an option to delete existing markers. This lets marker and camera-name data move from Blender's timeline into an After Effects composition in one click.
