Ustav stands out in the aescripts library for handling text as editable blocks—headers, lists, quotes, callouts—each with its own controls, plus a selection tool added in version 1.0.4.
Ustav - Text layouts editor is built for creating and editing structured text layouts inside After Effects. It works with several block types: headers, paragraph text, numbered lists, bulleted lists, to-do lists, quotes, dividers and callouts.
Layouts are assembled from blocks you can add, move, or remove, and whole layouts can be removed too. You can adjust layout width, copy layout settings, and remove layout expressions. Text controls cover sizing, leading, tracking, spacing and color, with dedicated controls for numbered, bulleted and to-do lists, quotes, dividers and callouts. Version 1.0.4 adds a simple selection tool for picking headers, paragraphs, or all text layers of a layout.
It supports After Effects 2020 through 2025 and is listed here as free. A demo video is available, and current licensing details are on the developer's page.
