Earns its place in the aescripts library for putting live RAM, CPU and GPU data in a panel that stays docked inside After Effects.
System Monitor Pro brings hardware readouts directly inside After Effects. It shows used RAM, CPU load with live clock speed, VRAM per GPU and temperatures, all from a single dockable panel that refreshes every second as you work.
The panel is built for Windows and does not run on macOS. It supports any number of NVIDIA GPUs, reporting VRAM and temperature figures per card. Because the readouts sit in a panel within After Effects, the monitoring data stays visible alongside your project.
Compatibility spans a wide range of After Effects releases, from CC through the 2026 version, so it fits both current and older installations. A demo video is available on the developer's page, and the current release is version 1.1 from May 2026.
System Monitor Pro is best for after Effects users on Windows with NVIDIA GPUs who want live hardware readouts inside the app.
System Monitor Pro is completely free to download and use.
System Monitor Pro is built for Windows and does not work on macOS. If you run After Effects on a Mac, this panel will not function for you. On a supported Windows machine it reports used RAM, CPU load with live clock speed, VRAM per GPU and temperatures inside a dockable panel. Check the developer's page for the full list of supported environments before installing to confirm it matches your setup.
System Monitor Pro supports a broad range of After Effects releases, including 2026, 2025, 2024, 2023, 2022, 2021 and 2020, as well as CC 2019, CC 2018, CC 2017, CC 2015.3, CC 2015, CC 2014 and CC. This spread covers both recent and older installations, so most Windows After Effects users can run the panel on their existing version without upgrading. Confirm the current compatibility details on the developer's page.
System Monitor Pro supports any number of NVIDIA GPUs. For each card it can report VRAM and temperature, so systems with more than one NVIDIA GPU are covered. The panel also shows used RAM and CPU load with live clock speed, refreshing every second while you work. All of this appears in a single dockable panel inside After Effects on Windows.
System Monitor Pro is listed as free in this catalog. Pricing and licensing can change over time, so for the current terms and any conditions attached to the panel, check the developer's page on aescripts. There you can also find the demo video and confirm the compatibility and Windows-only requirements before you download and install it into your After Effects setup.
