RetroBounce earns its place in the aescripts library by folding two motion modes, color-on-hit, echo trails, and multi-object output into a single-click generator. As an initial 1.0.0 release compatible back to CC 2019, it's a straightforward pick for retro bounce effects.
RetroBounce is a plugin for After Effects that recreates the nostalgic bouncing screensaver along with dynamic, gravity-style animations. It includes a Bounce Mode for the iconic bouncing motion and a Gravity Mode that lets objects fall and bounce, with adjustable gravity, speed, and wall collisions.
Beyond the core motion, the plugin can add color changes on every hit, customizable echo trails, and seamless loops, and it offers an Outline Mode alongside the echo trails. You can apply the animation to multiple objects at once for instantly complex results, generated in a single click.
RetroBounce works with After Effects 2026, 2025, 2024, 2023, 2022, 2021, 2020, and CC 2019. It arrived as version 1.0.0 on July 9, 2026 as the initial release, and a demo video is available on the developer's page.
RetroBounce is best for recreating the nostalgic bouncing screensaver effect and gravity-style bounce animations inside After Effects.
RetroBounce is completely free to download and use.
RetroBounce works with After Effects 2026, 2025, 2024, 2023, 2022, 2021, 2020, and CC 2019, so it covers a wide span of releases from the current version back to CC 2019. This is version 1.0.0, published on July 9, 2026 as the initial release. If you're running one of those listed versions you should be covered; for any version outside that range or for the latest compatibility details, check the developer's page before installing.
RetroBounce offers two modes. Bounce Mode recreates the iconic bouncing screensaver motion, while Gravity Mode lets objects fall and bounce with adjustable gravity, speed, and wall collisions. On top of the core motion you can add color changes on every hit, customizable echo trails, an Outline Mode, and seamless loops. Both modes are built to generate their result in a single click, so you set the parameters and let the plugin produce the animation.
RetroBounce can apply its animation to multiple objects at once, producing instantly complex results rather than animating each object separately. The whole effect, across however many objects you point it at, is generated in a single click. This works with both Bounce Mode and Gravity Mode, and you can layer on the color changes, echo trails, Outline Mode, and seamless loops that the plugin provides for its animations.
RetroBounce is listed as free in this catalog, though licensing terms can change over time. For current pricing, license conditions, and download details, visit the developer's page on aescripts. There you'll also find the version 1.0.0 initial release, published on July 9, 2026, and the full compatibility range that runs from After Effects 2026 back to CC 2019. A demo video is available as well.
