What is TikTokText?

TikTokText is an After Effects plugin from .nook for creating authentic TikTok content directly in the app. It holds rank 78 in the aescripts library.

The toolset covers smooth stroked text, line-wrapping text boxes, word accent animations, neon glow effects and faux 3D drop depth. Version 3.2 brought a full redesign with a streamlined interface and a wider focus on Reels, Shorts and CapCut inspired text styles alongside TikTok colours and fonts, adding colour accent, box accent and drop depth styles. Multi-line text boxes, justification and transparency options are also supported.

TikTokText runs on After Effects 2026, 2025, 2024, 2023 and 2022. The current release, version 3.2.2, fixes an expression error in Gentle Glow and Drop Depth and adds a check for projects using the JavaScript expressions engine, plus an updated link to the online user guide.

Frequently asked questions

Does TikTokText work with After Effects 2026?

TikTokText supports After Effects 2026, 2025, 2024, 2023 and 2022, so recent versions of the app are covered. Version 3.2.2 also adds a check for projects using the JavaScript expressions engine, which relates to how its effects run. If you work across several After Effects versions, the plugin spans the current release back through 2022. For details on any specific build, the developer's page on aescripts is the place to confirm before installing.

What changed in TikTokText version 3.2.2?

TikTokText version 3.2.2, released on June 15, 2025, fixes an expression error in Gentle Glow and Drop Depth and adds a check for projects using the JavaScript expressions engine. It also updates the link to the online user guide so it no longer points to the install page. Earlier in the 3.x line, version 3.2 introduced a full redesign with a streamlined interface plus new colour accent, box accent and drop depth styles. For the complete history, check the developer's page.

Does TikTokText support multi-line text boxes?

TikTokText supports multi-line text boxes, a feature added in the 3.1.x line, along with justification and transparency options. A later fix in version 3.2.1 addressed a case where multi-line boxed paragraphs of three or more lines with left or right alignment could misalign when adjacent lines were nearly the same length. The plugin also lists line-wrapping text boxes among its features. For the current behaviour of these boxes, refer to the developer's page.

Is TikTokText free?

TikTokText is listed as free in this catalog. Licensing terms can change over time, so for the current details and any conditions attached to downloading or using it, the developer's page on aescripts is the place to confirm. That page also hosts the latest version, 3.2.2, and the online user guide referenced in the plugin's changelog. Pricing and license status are best verified there rather than assumed from a listing.
