MoTi stands out in the aescripts library for its tag-and-run approach: assign layer roles once, choose a style, and the extension builds the keyframes in your active composition. The 1.5.1 update reorganizes controls into section-based panels for KV Style, Tagline Style, Badge Style, and Global, and adds a collapsible Live Preview for more workspace.
MoTi is an animation automation extension for Adobe After Effects that turns tagged layers into keyframes with a single click. You start by importing layered artwork through Smart Import for PSD or Illustrator files, or from an existing After Effects composition. From there, you assign roles to your layers such as KV, SV, Title, Badge, Caption, BG, BGElem, or Btn.
Once the layers are tagged, you choose your motion styles and timing, then click Run MoTi to generate animation directly in the active composition. Key visual styles include Fly In, Scale Pop, Slide Up, Burst, and Zoom, while badge motion covers options like Wiggle, Hover, Heartbeat, and Pop-up. Tagline Style handles text animation and dynamic text behavior, and the Global section adjusts overall speed, outro behavior, and background fade in one place.
After generation, you can scrub the timeline, adjust anything by hand, and render from After Effects or Adobe Media Encoder. MoTi installs and licenses through the aescripts + aeplugins manager app and runs on macOS and Windows.
MoTi is best for motion designers creating repeated promo layouts, editors who need finished-looking motion quickly, social media creators producing sale posts and event graphics, template builders animating layered designs, and designers handling frequent client revision requests.
MoTi is completely free to download and use.
MoTi supports Adobe After Effects CC 2021 or newer, and the current release is compatible with After Effects 2026, 2025, 2024, 2023, 2022, and 2021. If you're running any version from 2021 onward, MoTi should fit your setup. The extension works inside your active composition, generating keyframes there once you've tagged your layers and picked a motion style, so a supported After Effects install is the main requirement on that front.
MoTi runs on both macOS and Windows, so you can use it on either platform as long as you have a supported version of Adobe After Effects installed. Compatibility covers After Effects CC 2021 and newer, including the 2022 through 2026 releases. Beyond that, MoTi installs and licenses through the aescripts + aeplugins manager app, which handles the setup steps on both operating systems. Once it's installed, you tag your layers, choose a motion style, and click Run MoTi to generate keyframes in the active composition.
MoTi installs and licenses through the aescripts + aeplugins manager app, which handles the setup and license steps for you. Once installed, it opens as an extension inside Adobe After Effects, where you tag your layers, choose motion styles, and click Run MoTi to generate animation in the active composition. It runs on both macOS and Windows and supports After Effects CC 2021 or newer.
MoTi can bring in layered artwork using Smart Import for PSD or Illustrator files, or you can start from an existing After Effects composition. After importing, you assign roles to your layers such as KV, SV, Title, Badge, Caption, BG, BGElem, or Btn, then choose your motion styles. Once you run it, you can scrub the timeline, adjust anything by hand, and render from After Effects or Adobe Media Encoder.
MoTi is listed here as free, though installation and licensing are handled through the aescripts + aeplugins manager app. For the current licensing terms and the most accurate, up-to-date details, check the developer's page. Once you've installed and licensed it through the manager app, MoTi works inside Adobe After Effects on both macOS and Windows, supporting CC 2021 or newer, so you can tag layers and generate animation right away.
