Plugin catalog

GifGun is an After Effects plugin that exports GIF, WEBP, WEBM and MP4 files. It handles batch rendering across multiple comps, hits target file sizes automatically, and lets you save and share render presets.

AfterCodecs is a native exporter for After Effects, Premiere Pro and Adobe Media Encoder, bringing ProRes, H264, H265 and HAP codecs on Windows and macOS with no QuickTime required.

Render Brain is a free background renderer for After Effects that runs local and network renders while you keep working. It splits or shares renders across machines, with single-click network setup and format conversions.

Motion Boutique Newton is a 2D physics engine for After Effects that turns 2D layers into simulations of real-world objects. Adjust density, friction, bounce, and gravity, then refine results with editable keyframes.

Video Copilot BackLight is a collection of HDRI environments and light maps for After Effects, built for image-based lighting and reflections. It works with Element 3D V2 or any 3D program.

BG Renderer MAX is a rendering plugin for After Effects from Nik Ska that renders using true multiprocessing, with post-render file conversions, a custom Render Queue view, and notifications via Slack, email and services like Zapier.

Fluid is a GPU-accelerated 2D fluid simulation plugin for After Effects. Built on Navier-Stokes physics, it turns any layer into a fluid emitter with collider interaction, dual-stream color blending, and cinematic post-processing, running directly in the timeline.

Newton 4 is a native 2D physics plugin for After Effects from Motion Boutique. It turns a composition into an interactive physics playground, transforming 2D layers into physical objects with realistic motion.

RenderSegments renders and exports marker regions as separate clips in Premiere Pro. It creates batch renders from marker in and out points, uses your own Media Encoder presets, and exports multiple sections at once.

Soft Body 2 is an After Effects plugin that creates soft objects with collisions. It offers two engines, Quick and Advance, works with shape layers, text and pre-comps, and can bend images and layers.

Fluxion is a GPU-based particle plugin for After Effects that generates a vector field from a mask and makes particles flow along that field. It supports custom layer particles and 3D.

RenderQ is an After Effects script for queuing and batch queuing movies, stills and thumbnails to new or pre-selected locations. Four customizable buttons render any output module or combination, with control over prefixes and suffixes.

Element 3D is a 3D object and particle render engine plug-in for After Effects, built by Video Copilot for motion design and visual effects work. It imports 3D objects, textures and OBJ or C4D formats.

PhysicDesk is a real-time 2D physics simulator for After Effects that runs inside the viewport. Build scenes with dynamic, static, and animated bodies, then bake the resulting motion into native After Effects keyframes.

Aquon is a GPU-accelerated After Effects plugin that simulates water-like 2D fluid motion. It offers inlet and gravity controls, masks usable as walls, and fluid rendering options for varied looks.

Physarum is a native After Effects plugin from Zaebects that simulates organic growth. Built for motion designers, it uses an organic algorithm and can interact with composition layers to produce a countless number of results.

Plumebus is an After Effects plugin that runs live 3D smoke and fire simulation directly in the timeline. It offers instant feedback with no pre-render, letting you scrub freely and tweak settings live.

Rubberize It is an After Effects plugin from Orrin Zucker that turns any layer into Plastic, Rubber or Goop in seconds. It reacts naturally to motion without keyframes, driven by physics.

Pixion is a layer-driven particle system for After Effects that generates particles from any source layer and controls their behavior using pixel data such as luminance and color. GPU-accelerated.

RenderSmith is a render management panel for After Effects that handles proxies, pre-renders, finals, and auto-backup in one place. Built for heavy projects, it bundles named tools like Quality Guard and Deep Clean.

LayerRender is an After Effects plugin from Prosya that renders directly at the layer level rather than the composition level. It uses all cores and taps external FFmpeg without intermediate files.

Plexus 3 Render Only is a licensing option for After Effects intended for headless render machines using the command line renderer. Purchasing it requires owning at least one full Plexus 3 license.
