In After Effects, repetitive tasks drain your time and energy every day. Ultimate Tools gives them back — without leaving a mess behind.
If you open After Effects every day, you know the friction. None of it is difficult — it's just slow, and it adds up to hours you'll never bill for. Ultimate Tools takes that friction off your hands.
From the first comp to the final render — every step has a tool that turns a multi-click chore into a single action.
Create, adjust, extend, and safe-wrap compositions from one place — no more digging through menus and dialogs for every change.
Spin up any layer — null, solid, adjustment, and more — in a single click, with shortcut keys for the variants you reach for most.
Draw platform-accurate safe areas for social right on your comp, so nothing important gets cropped on Reels, TikTok, or Shorts.
The most-used timeline commands, each one click away. The single biggest time-saver in the panel — the operations you do a hundred times a day.
Real marker control AE never gave you: create, copy, paste, shift, snap, and manage comp & layer markers from one place.
Reveal any layer property in the timeline instantly — no more memorizing keyboard shortcuts just to see what you're animating.
Save your easing curves once and apply them to any keyframes from a ready library, instead of rebuilding the same motion by hand.
Move anchor points, align selected layers, and distribute them precisely — without fighting the native align panel.
Save comps as standalone projects and re-import them into any project, anytime — your best work becomes a reusable building block.
Keep your go-to layers in a global library and drop them into any project, instead of rebuilding them from scratch every time.
Save any effect setup as a preset and apply it to any layer with one click. Stop rebuilding the same stack on every project.
Browse the media on your machine and import straight to the timeline — without ever leaving After Effects for the file browser.
The panel's deepest section: extract, apply, swap, and replace colors across your project — and even grab a color straight from a frame.
Swap every font used in a comp to a single font in one click, instead of selecting and re-styling each text layer by hand.
Export comps, layers, and frames flexibly, with smart auto-named files — so your renders land named the way you actually want them.
Run your favorite scripts right from the panel, instead of hunting for them in menus every time you need one.
Keep your reference and resource sites one click away inside the panel, so they live next to your work — not in a lost browser tab.
