We develop our own motion picture softwares (animation, asset management, automation…) ; most of them are released under a free licence.

After Effects Tools

• Tools, tools, and more tools. In this lesson from David Bode's course, After Effects for Beginners, following on from lesson about the main panels and core tools, you'll learn about a few more.
• May 03, 2019 Puppet Tools is an After Effects script, not to be confused with the After Effects built in Puppet Tool. However, it’s named as such because it’s built to work with the After Effects feature and make it easier to use. The After Effects Puppet Tool is a built in feature set for rigging characters.
• Create cinematic movie titles, intros, and transitions. Remove an object from a clip. Start a fire or make it rain. Animate a logo or character. Even navigate and design in a 3D space. With After Effects, the industry-standard motion graphics and visual effects software, you can take any idea and make it move.
• Tools developer Richard Rosenman has made DOF PRO (Depth Of Field Generator PRO), his popular Photoshop depth of field generation plugin, available for After Effects. Backed by over a decade of research and development since its first release in 2005, DOF PRO has become the industry’s professional choice for unparalleled and sophisticated.

To help us continue developping and releasing those tools for free, you can donate.
