REACH Pro earns its place in the aescripts library by bundling a searchable command hub, dozens of built-in utilities, and an AI assistant into one After Effects extension.
REACH Pro is an extension for After Effects that centres on a search bar for finding and bookmarking commands, effects, presets, scripts, and expressions. Around that sits a broad catalogue of built-in features spanning layer, text, keyframe, guide, and audio workflows.
Its toolset covers generating bones along a Pen Tool path, building 3D camera rigs, slicing text by words, characters, or lines, batch renaming layers, converting expressions to keyframes, and generating beat markers from BPM. Layout tools handle centering, resizing, staggering, and grids, while audio reactors create sound-driven animations from audio amplitude.
A built-in AI assistant supports eight providers, where you pick the provider and model in the settings using your own API key. A recent update added a Color Palettes Management Tool. REACH Pro runs on Windows and macOS and is compatible with After Effects CC 2022 and later.
REACH Pro is best for after Effects artists who want a single search bar plus a large set of built-in utilities for shapes, text, keyframes, guides, audio, and project cleanup.
REACH Pro is completely free to download and use.
REACH Pro is compatible with After Effects CC 2022 and later, and the listed versions include After Effects 2026, 2025, 2024, 2023, and 2022. If you are running After Effects 2026, the extension supports it directly. It runs on both Windows and macOS, so the platform you work on should not be a barrier. For the most current compatibility details as new After Effects releases arrive, check the developer's page.
REACH Pro runs on both Windows and macOS, so you can use the extension on either platform.

For any platform-specific notes, the developer's page is the place to confirm details.
REACH Pro includes a built-in AI assistant that works with your own API key. You pick the provider and model in the settings, and eight AI providers are available in total, including a privacy-focused provider called Venice AI. The assistant can show its reasoning before each operation in After Effects, and the full Opus range is selectable depending on whether you want speed or depth of analysis. Because it uses your own key, you supply access to the provider you choose.
REACH Pro is listed as free in this catalogue. Licensing terms can change, so the developer's page is the best place to confirm current pricing and any upgrade conditions before you commit. The extension bundles a search bar for commands, effects, presets, scripts, and expressions alongside a broad catalogue of built-in tools, plus a built-in AI assistant that uses your own API key.
