Motion Tools V2: Supercharge Keyframes, Anchors & Rigging in AE

Why Motion Tools V2 is the Most Used Script in Motion Design

Every motion designer spends countless minutes repositioning layer anchor points, copying keyframe pairs, staggering layers, and setting up elastic expressions. Motion Tools V2 packs all these essential workflow utilities into a compact, dockable ScriptUI panel that saves hours on every project.

Instant 9-Point Anchor Point Snapping

Instead of manually dragging the Pan Behind tool (Y) and hoping it aligns:

• Select one or fifty layers simultaneously.
• Click any of the 9 grid points in Motion Tools (top-left, center, bottom-center, etc.).
• All layer anchor points snap instantly to the exact pixel coordinate without shifting layer positions on screen.

Cloning & Reversing Complex Keyframe Stacks

Select multiple keyframed properties across different layers and click Clone to duplicate the timing curves to new layers without overwriting existing spatial coordinates. Click Reverse to create an instant exit transition.

One-Click Elastic Overshoot & Bounce

Select resting keyframes and click Overshoot or Bounce. Motion Tools injects optimized lightweight inertial math expressions into the property, giving your icons, badges, and text organic spring physics without manual graph tweaking.
