We made the plugin
we always needed.
MotionPotion started as a frustration that refused to stay quiet — a shortcut that became a tool, a tool that became a plugin, a plugin that became everything the workflow was missing.
The beginning
The deadline was
in four hours. Again.
It always started the same way: download the zip, unzip the zip, relink the footage, rename the layers, import the comp, realize the frame rate is wrong, start over. The actual animation hadn't begun and the clock was already running.
After Effects is the most powerful animation tool on the planet. But its file-handling ceremony hadn't changed in a decade. Every template, every handoff, every shared asset came with a hidden tax: setup time. The work nobody billed for and everybody paid.
So we stopped complaining about it and built something different. A plugin that takes a fully-built composition — comps, layers, named keyframes, correct easing, everything — and puts it directly into your timeline. One click. No ceremony. No zip files.
The craft
Details that the
timeline notices.
We obsessed over the parts most plugins skip. Not just the structure — the precision. Layer names that match the comp. Keyframes that arrive with their actual interpolation intact, not flattened into linear or rounded into auto-bezier.
Six keyframe types. Every easing curve. Hold frames that actually hold. The kind of detail that separates a template from a starting point.

The people behind it
Built in the
late hours.
MotionPotion is made by a small team of motion designers and developers who have lived the problem from both sides of the timeline. We've been the animator fighting a deadline at midnight. We've been the studio lead rebuilding the same comp structure for the third client that week.
This plugin exists because we got tired of waiting for someone else to build it. So we did.
