In this video, I’ll share my top 5 best-paid After Effects plugins that have seriously improved my workflow and made my projects more efficient. These tools aren’t just nice to have—they save time, add functionality, and make complex tasks way easier.
We’ll start with Overlord, a must-have for Illustrator-to-After Effects workflows, making vector imports seamless. Next is Templater Rig, an automation powerhouse that helps with data-driven motion design. Then, we’ll check out GifGun 2, the ultimate tool for exporting GIFs directly from AE with ease. Moving on, I’ll show you Mobar, a sleek UI tool that speeds up navigation and project management. And finally, pt_TextEdit 2, a game-changer for editing text layers without the usual AE frustrations.
For each plugin, I’ll break down what it does, how much it costs, and why it’s worth the investment.
Looking for ways to level up your After Effects workflow? These paid plugins are worth every cent!
