Earns its place for its handmade approach: each part is painted, inked, or sketched in multiples and shot in very high resolution before being sequenced at 12FPS or 24FPS.
PQ Art Parts is a library of handmade transitions and frames for customizing the look of any layer in After Effects and Premiere Pro. Alongside the transitions and frames, it includes edges, individual brush strokes, bubbles, and a set of lower thirds.
Each Art-Part was painted, inked, or sketched in multiples, shot in very high resolution, cleaned, then sequenced at either 12FPS or 24FPS. The result is a collection designed to bring arty character to any layer.
Released in version 1.0 and last updated in September 2023, PQ Art Parts covers a broad range of After Effects and Premiere Pro versions, from CS6 through the 2022 and CC releases. Within the aescripts library, it's a hand-drawn collection of painted parts for customizing any layer.
PQ Art Parts is best for artists adding hand-painted, arty character to layers in After Effects and Premiere Pro.
PQ Art Parts is completely free to download and use.
PQ Art Parts supports a wide range of After Effects releases, including 2022, 2021, 2020, CC 2019, CC 2018, CC 2017, CC 2015.3, CC 2015, CC 2014, CC, and CS6. That coverage stretches back through several years of the software, so both older and more recent projects can draw on the same library. If you are unsure whether your exact build is included, the developer's page lists the full compatibility details.
PQ Art Parts works with Premiere Pro across versions 2020, CC 2019, CC 2018, CC 2017, CC 2015.3, CC 2015, CC 2014, CC, and CS6. Because the library is made up of painted transitions, frames, and elements, the same parts can be used in Premiere Pro alongside After Effects. Check the developer's page to confirm your specific Premiere Pro version is covered before you rely on it in a project.
PQ Art Parts clips are sequenced at either 12FPS or 24FPS. Each Art-Part was painted, inked, or sketched in multiples, shot in very high resolution, then cleaned before being sequenced at one of those two frame rates. That applies across the library's transitions, frames, and elements, so you get both frame-rate options within the same collection. For more on how each part is delivered, check the developer's page on aescripts.
PQ Art Parts is listed as free here. Licensing terms can change over time, so for the current terms and any usage conditions it is worth checking the developer's page on aescripts before you download. The library was published as version 1.0 on September 19, 2023, marking its initial release, and no later changelog entries have been recorded since that date, so what you get reflects that first release.
