Why we like it

Textlab Pro consolidates text quality checks, batch operations, and styling presets into one After Effects panel, and it's listed as compatible with Premiere Pro as well. Version 1.2.0 continues to build on the original Quality Analysis, Operations, and Styling layout.

What is Textlab Pro?

Textlab Pro is a text toolkit for After Effects that gathers its features into a single panel. From there you can find and fix typos, detect outliers, check contrast accessibility, batch edit text across all comps, and save style presets. It is also listed as compatible with Premiere Pro.

The panel is organised around Quality Analysis, Operations, and Styling modules, which shipped with fifteen FFX presets in the initial release. Styling covers Multi-Outline presets, including Comic, Pop, and Vintage, Stroke Reveal with a Traveling mode, and Per-Character Color with palette presets and a Color Offset control. Case modes include Vowels, Consonants, Edges, and Alternating, while Safe Zone Analysis spans six aspect ratios.

Recent additions include Match Size for one-click font size sync across text layers and Fit Comp to Shape, which resizes a comp to a shape layer with the stroke included. A demo video is available on the developer's page.

Who is Textlab Pro best for?

Textlab Pro is best for after Effects artists working with text who want typo checking, outlier and contrast checks, batch editing across comps, and reusable styling presets in one panel.

How much does Textlab Pro cost?

Textlab Pro is completely free to download and use.

Frequently asked questions

Does Textlab Pro work with Premiere Pro?

Textlab Pro is listed as compatible with both After Effects and Premiere Pro, so you can run the panel across those two Adobe applications. Its text features — typo checking, outlier detection, contrast accessibility checks, batch editing across all comps, and style presets — are described in an After Effects context. For the exact host versions supported and any per-application differences, check the developer's page on aescripts before installing, since the compatibility here covers the two named applications.

What's new in Textlab Pro 1.2.0?

Textlab Pro 1.2.0, released May 4, 2026, adds four new Case modes — Vowels, Consonants, Edges, and Alternating. It also introduces Match Size for one-click font size sync across text layers and Fit Comp to Shape, which resizes a comp to a shape layer with the stroke included. Three new Multi-Outline presets ship in this version — Comic, Pop, and Vintage — alongside minor polish and bug fixes. Earlier updates expanded Safe Zone Analysis to six aspect ratios and added a Traveling mode to Stroke Reveal.

Is Textlab Pro free?

Textlab Pro is listed as free in this catalog, so you can add it without a purchase here. Licensing terms can change over time, so check the developer's page on aescripts for the current details before relying on it in a project. The plugin includes its Quality Analysis, Operations, and Styling modules, along with fifteen FFX presets that shipped with the initial release, giving you the full panel as described in one download.

What text checks does Textlab Pro's Quality Analysis include?

Textlab Pro's Quality Analysis is built to find and fix typos, detect outliers, and check contrast accessibility, all from the same panel. It also includes Safe Zone Analysis, which was expanded to six aspect ratios — adding 4:5, 2:3, and 3:4 to the existing options. These checks sit alongside the Operations and Styling modules that make up the panel, so text review and editing happen in one place. Batch editing across all comps is part of the same toolkit.
