Boxer earns a spot in the aescripts library as a focused, one-click way to build text boxes in After Effects, with the 1.1 update trimming its UI down to five starting points and a compact set of sliders.
Boxer is an After Effects plugin from .nook that creates dynamic text boxes with a single click. It removed the live preview UI for quicker box creation and to save UI space in After Effects.
The streamlined interface includes 5 quick starting points, and boxes can be adjusted with offset sliders, individual corner controls and trim sliders. Fill and stroke options were removed from the pseudo effect for easier integration with other layers, and the appearance options were updated to match After Effects 25.
Boxer runs on After Effects 2026, 2025, 2024 and 2023, and it's listed in the aescripts library. Version 1.1.1 fixed an issue that caused it to create a box for only the first layer when several were selected. This catalog lists Boxer as free; check the developer's page for current licensing and the online user guide.
Boxer is best for after Effects artists who need to generate text boxes quickly and adjust them with offset, corner and trim controls.
Boxer is completely free to download and use.
