LaunchBox earns its place in the aescripts library as a free companion to the Ebberts + Zucker toolset, with compatibility stretching back to CC 2015.3 and forward to After Effects 2026.
LaunchBox is a free launcher from Ebberts + Zucker that gives easy access to the developer's full set of tools for After Effects. It brings the studio's After Effects products together within a single launcher.
It runs across a wide span of After Effects releases, from CC 2015.3 through the 2026 version, and covers CC 2017, CC 2018 and CC 2019 along with the 2020 through 2025 versions in between.
Over successive updates the launcher has expanded the products it recognises, adding support for tools including MonkeyWords, TypeMonkey3D, Vybe, MonkeySauce, GoType and EZMarkerAlign. Version 1.07 added GoType and EZMarkerAlign to the product list. As a free utility for anyone already using Ebberts + Zucker plugins, it keeps those tools reachable from one launcher.
LaunchBox is best for after Effects users who already run Ebberts + Zucker tools and want them reachable from one launcher.
LaunchBox is completely free to download and use.
LaunchBox lists After Effects 2026 among its supported versions, so it works with the latest release. Its compatibility also reaches back through the 2025, 2024, 2023, 2022, 2021 and 2020 versions, along with CC 2019, CC 2018, CC 2017 and CC 2015.3. That range makes it usable whether you are on a current subscription build or an older Creative Cloud installation still running the Ebberts + Zucker tools.
LaunchBox is built to reach the full range of Ebberts + Zucker tools for After Effects from one place. Across its updates it has added support for products including MonkeyWords, TypeMonkey3D, Vybe, MonkeySauce, GoType and EZMarkerAlign, with version 1.07 adding GoType and EZMarkerAlign to the product list. For the complete current lineup it can launch, check the developer's page, since the supported set has grown with each release.
LaunchBox is listed here as free, in keeping with its description as a free launcher for the Ebberts + Zucker tools. Because licensing terms can change over time, confirm the current details on the developer's page before you download. There is no cost noted for the launcher itself, though the individual Ebberts + Zucker tools it provides access to may carry their own licensing you should check separately.
LaunchBox reached version 1.07 on November 13, 2025, which added GoType and EZMarkerAlign to the product list. Earlier updates extended the launcher's reach to other tools, including MonkeySauce in 1.06, Vybe in 1.05 and TypeMonkey3D in 1.04, while version 1.01 delivered a major bug fix following the original 1.00 release in June 2020. The pattern across versions has been broadening the set of Ebberts + Zucker products the launcher recognises.
