GoType earns a spot in the aescripts library for a compact, no-tutorial approach to text animation, backed by compatibility that reaches from CC 2017 up to After Effects 2026.
GoType is a compact text animator for After Effects, developed by Ebberts + Zucker. It is described as needing no tutorial, keeping the tool small and straightforward for animating text inside After Effects.
Compatibility is broad. GoType runs on After Effects 2026, 2025, 2024, 2023, 2022, 2021 and 2020, along with CC 2019, CC 2018 and CC 2017, so it covers a long stretch of releases. The current version is 1.06, last updated on November 12, 2025, and its most recent changelog entry covers a licensing firmware update. A demo video is available for a look at the tool.
This catalog lists GoType as free. For current licensing details, the developer's page on aescripts is the place to check before downloading.
GoType is best for after Effects users who want a compact text animator that works without a tutorial across many versions of the app.
GoType is completely free to download and use.
GoType supports After Effects 2026, and its compatibility reaches back much further. The listed versions include After Effects 2026, 2025, 2024, 2023, 2022, 2021 and 2020, along with CC 2019, CC 2018 and CC 2017. That range covers roughly a decade of After Effects releases, so it fits both current installs and older projects still running earlier versions. The current build is version 1.06, last updated on November 12, 2025.
