Delay Motion Pro earns its place in the aescripts library by keeping transform delays stable across parent/child hierarchies, an area its recent 1.1.x updates specifically targeted.
Delay Motion Pro is an After Effects tool from TOKI Projects for building transform delays that stay stable with parenting. It handles automatic chaining of the delays, keeps setup fast, and makes adjustment easy once the effect is in place.
The tool works with Position follow and anchor point handling, and its expression stability has been strengthened through stronger exception handling. Version 1.1.2, from January 16, 2026, improved Position follow for parent/child hierarchies and reduced anchor-related offsets, while the earlier 1.1.1 release fixed Position offsets that broke when the leader was parented to another layer or when the composition size changed.
Delay Motion Pro runs on After Effects 2026, 2025, 2024, 2023, and 2022. It first reached public release in version 1.1, which introduced a licensing framework integration and trial mode support. A demo video is available for a closer look.
Delay Motion Pro is best for after Effects artists who want to build delayed transform animations that stay stable when layers are parented.
Delay Motion Pro is completely free to download and use.
Delay Motion Pro supports After Effects 2026, 2025, 2024, 2023, and 2022, so it covers several recent releases of the application. Version 1.1.2 was published on January 16, 2026, making it the current build. If you run one of these listed versions, the tool should be compatible. If you use an older release that is not on this list, check the developer's page to confirm support before installing so you know what to expect.
Delay Motion Pro is listed as free here. The version 1.1 release notes mention a licensing framework integration and trial mode support, so licensing terms may still apply through the developer. For the current picture on trials and how licensing works, check the developer's page directly, since those terms can change over time. Beyond the free listing shown here, no specific pricing figures are available, so the developer's page remains the place to confirm the latest details.
Delay Motion Pro 1.1.2, released January 16, 2026, delivers a set of improvements. It brings more stable Position follow, especially with parent/child hierarchies, and better anchor point handling that reduces anchor-related offsets. The update also enhances expression stability through stronger exception handling, which prevents errors in specific cases. An earlier 1.1.1 fix addressed Position offsets that broke when the leader was parented to another layer or when the composition size changed.
Delay Motion Pro is built to keep transform delays stable when layers are parented, which is a central focus of the tool. Its 1.1.2 update improved Position follow specifically for parent/child hierarchies, and the earlier 1.1.1 release fixed Position offsets that previously broke when the leader was parented to another layer or when the composition size changed. Alongside this, it offers automatic chaining, fast setup, and easy adjustment of the delays you create.
