Why we like it

Collage Pro earns its place in the aescripts library for pairing a non-destructive, controller-based workflow with the option to convert finished layouts into static collages. Version 1.0.3 covers After Effects 2026 back to 2020.

What is Collage Pro?

Collage Pro is an After Effects script for creating flexible, responsive collage layouts and animations. It builds collages you can arrange horizontally or vertically, with the direction switchable at any time, and supports variable line and item sizes with precise control.

The workflow is non-destructive and controller-based, so you can add, remove, move, and rearrange items or entire lines, then edit the layout again later. Spacing controls respond as the arrangement changes, and animation-ready controls are built in. When a design is set, layouts can be converted into static collages for full manual control, and a set of built-in utilities handles flexible layout management.

Collage Pro is beginner friendly with a fast setup and a minimal set of controls. It runs on After Effects 2026, 2025, 2024, 2023, 2022, 2021, and 2020, and a demo video is available.

Who is Collage Pro best for?

Frequently asked questions

Which After Effects versions does Collage Pro support?

Collage Pro supports After Effects 2026, 2025, 2024, 2023, 2022, 2021, and 2020, covering current releases along with several older versions. Version 1.0.3 is the latest, updated in May 2026. If you work across multiple After Effects installations, this range means the script should load on most setups you are likely to run. For anything outside that list, check the developer's page for the latest compatibility details before installing.

Is Collage Pro free to download?

Collage Pro is listed as free here in our catalog, so there is no purchase step to use it. Licensing terms can change over time, so it is worth confirming the current terms on the developer's page before downloading. That page is also the best place to find any usage conditions the developer attaches to the release, along with the latest version and update history for the script.

Can I edit a Collage Pro layout after creating it?

Collage Pro uses a non-destructive, controller-based workflow, so layouts remain editable after they are created. You can add, remove, move, and rearrange individual items or entire lines, adjust line and item sizes, and change spacing as the arrangement updates. When you want to lock a design down, layouts can be converted into static collages for full manual control. Built-in utilities also help with flexible layout management as the collage evolves.

Can Collage Pro create both horizontal and vertical collages?

Collage Pro can create horizontal or vertical collage layouts, and the direction can be switched at any time. It supports variable line and item sizes with precise control, so individual pieces are not locked to a single dimension. Combined with the responsive spacing controls, this lets the arrangement adapt as you add or rearrange content. Animation-ready controls are built in as well, so a collage can be set up for motion rather than staying static.

What changed in Collage Pro version 1.0.3?

Collage Pro version 1.0.3, released May 7, 2026, fixed a function-related bug reported by a user, along with minor bug fixes and overall improvements. Earlier updates addressed selection panel radio button sync issues, corrected how 'Items Per Line' values were processed, resolved extra items being imported from the Project panel, and improved utility functions and code structure. For the complete change history, see the developer's page.
