Why we like it

QuickPortals earns a spot in the aescripts library for packaging portal transitions into three ready styles with customizable presets, all within a single After Effects tool.

What is QuickPortals?

QuickPortals is an After Effects tool built for adding portal transitions to video in a few clicks. It centers on three main portal styles — NEON, SIGIL and PIXEL — so you can pick a look and drop it into a project without building the effect by hand.

Each of the three styles comes with its own presets, and every option is fully customizable. You can start from a preset and adjust it to fit the shot you're working on. The plugin is compatible with After Effects 2025 and 2024.

This is version 1.0, the initial release published in February 2025. The developer describes it as fully functional and tested to ensure it's free of errors and bugs. A demo video is available for a closer look, and the plugin is listed here as free.

Frequently asked questions

Which After Effects versions does QuickPortals work with?

QuickPortals is compatible with After Effects 2025 and 2024. If you're running one of those versions, the plugin works as intended for creating portal transitions. Support for older releases isn't listed, so if you use an earlier version of After Effects, check the developer's page before installing to confirm compatibility. The current release is version 1.0, published in February 2025, so both supported versions reflect recent After Effects builds at the time of that release.

What portal styles does QuickPortals include?

QuickPortals includes three main portal styles: NEON, SIGIL and PIXEL. Each style ships with its own set of presets, giving you several starting points to work from, and every option is fully customizable. That means you can begin from a preset within any of the three styles and adjust it to suit your shot rather than building a transition from scratch. The variety across the three styles covers different looks within the single plugin.

The developer's page is also where you can confirm which After Effects versions are supported before you install.

Is QuickPortals stable at version 1.0?

QuickPortals is at version 1.0, its initial release from February 2025. The developer describes this release as fully functional and tested to ensure it's free of errors and bugs.
