Why we like it

Earns its place in the aescripts library by packaging a large set of frame-by-frame elements across several categories, all editable inside After Effects.

What is CelWizard Frame by Frame Library?

CelWizard Frame by Frame Library provides more than 320 editable elements for After Effects, each animated using frame-by-frame, or cel, animation. This style gives motion graphics a distinct aesthetic, but producing it manually can take hours or even days. The library supplies ready-made frame-by-frame elements so that look can be added to a project directly.

The collection spans several categories, including 51 looping elements, 52 morphing elements, 60 hand gestures, 121 isometric solids, and 38 preview elements. Every element is editable, letting you adapt the pieces within your composition. The set is compatible with After Effects 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025.

Version 1.1, released in August 2023, addressed a licensing issue following the initial 1.0 release. A demo video is available for those who want to see the library before adding it to a workflow.
