Plugins & extensions for After Effects and Illustrator

GradientHub for After Effects

GradientHub

After Effects

Browse visual thumbnails and apply gradients to Colorama, Shape Layers, Layer Styles and the third-party plugins proGradient and Color Shift. Select from 600+ curated built-in gradients, or import from GRD (Photoshop), CSS & SVG files to access thousands more.

The Studio section, new in version 1.5, lets you mix, edit and create new gradient presets.

Save your own gradients too, and organise them into categories and subcategories with auto-generated thumbnails.

Fractal Noise Browser for After Effects

Fractal Noise Browser

After Effects

Fractal Noise and Turbulent Noise are incredibly versatile effects, but their interfaces don't make that obvious. Fractal Noise Browser transforms this experience with 250+ presets in nine curated categories, featuring visual thumbnails and animated previews. Explore organic backgrounds, atmospheric simulations, grunge textures, glitch effects, and much more - all without guesswork.

Plus there's a User Presets section for you to save, browse and apply your own Fractal Noise and Turbulent Noise presets, with the same controls and flexibility as the built-in presets.

PathPrep for After Effects

PathPrep

After Effects

PathPrep streamlines your shape layer workflow:

  • Convert multiple parametric shapes to Bezier, and save time compared to After Effects' regular menu command “Convert to Bezier Path” which can only be used on one parametric shape at a time.
  • Bake Anchor, Position, Scale and Rotation into Bezier Paths. Set the anchor point to the shape's bounding box center to make your transforms behave naturally.
  • Quickly highlight every Bezier path in a shape layer and optionally add keyframes to them. Ideal for batch editing tasks.
  • Copy raw vector data from After Effects shape paths.
Twiggen for Illustrator

Twiggen

Illustrator

Designed for both experimentation and precision, Twiggen allows you to generate customizable fractal binary trees with ease. Control the structure, shape, and visual style of generative trees, from sparse, spindly branches to dense, symmetrical canopies. Explore a wide variety of branching patterns and visual styles, whether you're creating organic illustrations or data-like visual patterns.

Adjust angles, lengths, randomness, iteration depth, and more. Optionally add natural waviness. Built-in safeguards prevent runaway complexity and performance issues. Generated trees are editable Illustrator path items with strokes only.
