Motion Extractor stands out in the aescripts library for a single, poetic idea: reveal only what moves in a shot. It sits at rank 14, ships as version 1.0.0, and is listed here as a free download, making it a low-stakes addition to an After Effects or Premiere Pro workflow.
Motion Extractor is a plugin from Pixel Sorter Studio for After Effects and Premiere Pro. It reveals only the movement in a shot, isolating motion in footage that would otherwise look still. The developer suggests that even seemingly dull stock footage holds more potential than it first appears, describing the plugin as a reminder that life is always in motion, even when we cannot see it, and hoping it inspires the next editing session.
Compatibility spans a broad range of Adobe releases. Motion Extractor supports After Effects, Premiere Pro, and Media Encoder, with each application covered from the 2022 release through 2026.
Released in July 2024, the plugin is at version 1.0.0, marking its initial release. It sits at rank 14 in the aescripts library, and a demo video is available on YouTube.
Motion Extractor is best for editors working in After Effects or Premiere Pro who want to isolate and reveal the movement in a shot.
Motion Extractor is completely free to download and use.
Motion Extractor supports After Effects across the 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025, and 2026 versions, so 2026 is covered. It also works with Premiere Pro and Adobe Media Encoder over the same 2022 through 2026 range. If you run one of these Adobe releases within that span, the plugin is compatible. For any versions outside this list, the developer's page on aescripts is the place to confirm before installing.
Motion Extractor is not limited to After Effects. It runs in Premiere Pro and Adobe Media Encoder as well, with support listed for the 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025, and 2026 versions of each application. That makes it usable in a Premiere editing session just as much as in After Effects, with the compatible range covering the 2022 through 2026 Adobe releases.
Motion Extractor is listed here as a free download. This catalog does not display a specific price for it, and licensing terms can change over time, so the developer's page on aescripts is the best place to confirm current availability and any conditions before you download. It comes from Pixel Sorter Studio, where the current listing and version details are maintained.
Motion Extractor is at version 1.0.0, its initial release, published on July 15, 2024. As the first release, it has no prior changelog history beyond that launch. For any newer updates or version notes after this one, the developer's page on aescripts is where release information is posted, and a demo video is also available on YouTube for a look before installing.
