Pseudo Effect Maker 3 earns its place in the aescripts library for turning the creation of custom effect controls into a click-and-drag task, with updates that preserve existing expressions and keyframes.
Pseudo Effect Maker 3 is an After Effects plugin for creating custom effect controls, described by its developer as the simplest way to do so. You add controls with a click and use drag-and-drop to organize them, then apply your setup without restarting After Effects and change your controls dynamically as you work.
Version 3 introduced a redesigned interface for a cleaner, more organized layout, along with improved drag-and-drop performance. A customizable user interface lets you keep the features you use most within reach, while improved warnings and errors help surface issues or conflicts with a pseudo effect before you start working with it.
You can also replace a selected control with the working control to make updates without losing expressions and keyframes on your pseudo effect. The plugin runs in After Effects versions from CC 2015 through 2026, and a demo video is available on the developer's page.
Pseudo Effect Maker 3 is best for after Effects artists who build custom effect controls and want to add, organize and update them without losing expressions or keyframes.
Pseudo Effect Maker 3 is completely free to download and use.
Pseudo Effect Maker 3 lists compatibility with After Effects 2026, 2025, 2024, 2023, 2022, 2021 and 2020, along with CC 2019, CC 2018, CC 2017, CC 2015.3 and CC 2015. That covers a wide span of recent and older releases, so if you're running any version in that range the plugin is supported. For the most current compatibility details, check the developer's page before installing.
Pseudo Effect Maker 3 sits at version 3.1.1, released on August 17, 2023. That update fixed a bug where an XML error would appear when pasting text into text boxes. Earlier releases in the 3.x line addressed negative defaults on point controls, auto-save and preferences saving, a licensing framework update, control-name warnings and label handling. For the full changelog and any newer releases, see the developer's page.
Pseudo Effect Maker 3 is listed as free here, though licensing terms can change over time.

Confirming the terms there is the best way to be sure of what applies before you install.
