We have heard your calls! Thank you for your patience while we figure out a plan.
While self promotion has always been allowed in r/AfterEffects, the recent influx of AI & vibe coded plugins, extensions, and scripts has been a bit overwhelming. We have very very quickly gone from a few trusted marketplaces with strong vetting and at least some kind of expectation of long term maintenance, to anyone being able to churn out a vibe coded plugin and release it on an increasing number of marketplaces, with no guarantee of support or future updates.
With this in mind, we would like to implement a new set of rules to curb the overwhelming number of posts and give users more transparency when choosing to download and use such tools.
Taking a page from the changes mods made over at r/macapps, we will be introducing a new post structure following a Problem, Comparison, Pricing, Maintenance, AI-Disclosure (PCPMA) format.
Extension, script, and plugin posts have always required the (Plugin/Script) flair, this will not change. A sample short post is pinned in the comments.
We're specifically introducing the compare & maintenance points because we have seen an increasing number of plugins that simply replicate the functionality of existing, long standing plugins from developers who have demonstrated more experience, real support, and have proven to maintain their plugins over many years. Show us how yours is better, and prove to your future users how you will be supporting and fixing the plugin in the long-run. How can users who experience bugs get in contact with you in the future?
Regarding the AI disclosure, here are the definitions of each
I'm just going to be real, this one is likely going to be easy to skirt. r/macapps actually removed this requirement because everyone was just claiming to have "human reviewed" the code. We're going to try this out and hope folks are honest for the time being.
________
No AI was used in the preparation of this post. We will try this out for a month and see how it goes. Happy animating <3

If you're just beginning with After Effects, it's important to get a good foundation - no matter what you want to do with AE!
Here's a great, free place to start from our very own u/Kylasaurus_Rex - and Adobe put it right on the opening screen of After Effects!

Instead of one layer repeated hundreds of times I have hundreds of unique layers I need this same effect applied to ^~^
Attempted to find something similar on aescripts and older posts but no luck yet.

I’m sharing my motion design project and would appreciate honest feedback and suggestions. I’m still learning and trying to improve, so feel free to point out what works, what doesn’t, and what I could do better in terms of animation, timing, transitions, and overall visual quality. All constructive criticism is welcome!

Made this motion design for Yaango. Would love some honest feedback and suggestions on what I could improve!

This multidisciplinary project made by Me, Witchgaze and Meljiiit is dedicated to our curiosity about different media approaches. As well as creating a feeling of otherworldly curiosity & childhood nostalgia
we were making clothes out of carton + paper, creating music, constructing rooms, making animations, writing letters, working with aerograph and lots of other materials all together. special thanks to Rayden Vision for the crt

Hi everyone! I've finally finished my first mixed media animation in After Effects. It’s a recap video of my trip to Spain. I've tried to follow your advice on the old post, and i wanted to share the final result. Let me know your opnion. Hope you enjoy it!

So i switched to after effects 2025 and the preview is smooth but scrubbing is insanely laggy. I even have a video if anyone wants to see how it looks like.

I recently put together this product promo for Arpixa, an agency workspace I'm building.
I focused on the UI reveals, transitions, typography and making the software feel like a polished product rather than a generic screen recording.
I'd appreciate honest feedback, especially on the pacing, visual hierarchy and whether the product comes across clearly.
What would you improve first?

For the second layer, there is a square-shaped hold key frame that I couldn't replicate.
I turned this keyframe back into a diamond, then clicked toggle hold keyframe. It just turned into a one sided hold key frame (flat on the right side, pointed on the left side). Tried to ask AI and search through reddit and couldn't find an answer.

I am creating a project for a client i mistakenly used hlg 2100 color space in premiere pro and dynamically linked some footages to after effects with the same color space. Now i changed the color space back to rec 709 in both after effects and premiere pro but it caused the dynamic linked footage in premiere oversaturated. In after effects the footage are looking fine. I fixed the issue by selecting the linked footage in pp and clicking on interpreter footage and converting them from hlg to rec 709. But there are 100 comps do i have to select them all and fix individually?

Hey everyone!
I’m a motion designer currently job hunting, and I’d really appreciate some honest feedback on my portfolio:
I’d love to hear what you think about the work itself—animation quality, pacing, variety, and whether the reel and selected projects show my skills well. Are there any pieces that stand out, or anything you’d improve or leave out?
I’m also looking for feedback on the website and personal branding/logo. Does it feel professional, and is the work easy to find and watch from a potential employer’s or client’s perspective?
Feel free to be brutally honest. I’m looking to improve, so constructive criticism is very welcome. 😄 Thanks for taking a look!

Need help in relighting the logo to match the environment and change as the cam pushes forward.
The footage is a drone push in and I have done the tracking part pretty well but the 3D logo looks too plain. I want it to be metallic and shiny with a bit of glow so that it fits well with the camera push in. The logo is a glb file and I've added a metallic texture (0.25) to it already but it ain't looking good enough.
I've tried parallel lights and a studio environment light layer but it ain't that good. The screenshot shows how it looks with 2 parallel lights facing on it.
Any yt tutorial or documentation regarding this would help a lot. Thank you :)

I'm referencing this scene from Memories (1995), which made a strong impression on me. I'm trying to recreate a similar effect for a project and would appreciate some technical advice.
My current plan is to shoot two takes from the same locked-off camera position using a wide-angle lens. In the first take, a female actor performs a controlled fall to the floor. In the second, another actor mimics catching something. I'd then use rotoscoping in After Effects to composite the shots so that the female actor appears to pass through him.

I came across this guy’s video on IG, and I’m wondering if his work is actually original. It looks like he might just be using a pre-made animation template and making a few changes to the project file, then presenting the result as if he created the whole thing from scratch.
I’m not trying to jump to conclusions, but to me it feels fake. Based on his ig post here Instagram: he just started after effects around May this year lmao
r/AfterEffects • u/tetsuo97 • 2d ago
I have a plugin called RXXR that can produce a similar effect, but this feels like something different. Would love to hear everyones input.
r/AfterEffects • u/ashmemfx • 1d ago
Not the best footage for tracking, but after effects did a good job nonetheless.

This isn’t my first project, but it’s one of the most difficult ones so far. I’ll be doing more.
