QuickFX - Plugin for After Effects

Your All-in-One Workspace for Adobe After Effects

All your assets. All the tools you need. One convenient panel.

QuickFX is an extension for Adobe After Effects designed to speed up everyday editing, make your creative assets easier to access, and eliminate repetitive tasks from your workflow.

Instead of constantly searching for sound effects, browsing folders for graphics, trying to remember where a preset is stored, or performing the same operations manually, you get one convenient workspace where everything you need is within easy reach.

Your Entire Library, One Click Away

One of QuickFX’s key features is the ability to connect your own asset library and access it directly inside After Effects.

Choose your main asset folder, and QuickFX will scan its contents and display the discovered files in a convenient interface.

No more repeatedly opening File Explorer or Finder, navigating through folders, and manually importing the assets you need.

Organize your library your way. Create categories and subfolders, sort assets by type, and add new files whenever you need them.

QuickFX works with your personal collection of:

• Sounds — sound effects, transitions, accents, and other audio files.
• Presets — animation presets, including your own and third-party .ffx files.
• Overlays — graphic elements, overlays, and other visual assets.

You decide what goes into your library and how to organize the resources you actually use.

The result: your personal asset collection becomes a convenient creative toolkit, accessible with just one click.

Everything You Need for Animation

QuickFX brings together tools for applying animations and controlling their motion directly inside After Effects.

Presets — Ready-to-Use Animation

Use built-in QuickFX animations or add your own and third-party presets.

• Apply animations to selected layers.
• Adjust animation duration using Duration.
• Choose In for entrance animations, Out for exit animations, or Both for a combination of the two.
• Save your own animation presets using After Effects and add them to your QuickFX library.
• Star your favorite presets for quick access.

Flow — Take Control of Your Motion

Fine-tune the feel of your animations with a dedicated easing curve editor.

• Choose from ready-made easing curves.
• Manually adjust Bezier curves.
• Apply the selected curve to keyframes.
• Copy and transfer easing settings between animations.
• Save your favorite curves for future use.

Create motion that feels exactly right, from smooth and subtle to energetic and dynamic.

Overlays — Graphics Straight Into Your Composition

Work with graphic assets without unnecessary window switching.

• Browse overlays from your personal library.
• Add selected assets directly to the active composition.
• Use Auto Fit to Comp to fit graphics within the composition while preserving their aspect ratio.
• Use Smart Replace to replace a selected layer with a suitable asset in supported scenarios.
• Add frequently used overlays to Favorites.

Sounds — Your Sound Library at Your Fingertips

Sound design becomes easier when you no longer have to search for every effect individually.

• Browse audio files from your personal library.
• Find the right effects using search.
• Preview available audio files.
• Add selected sounds to the active composition.
• Adjust the volume of newly added audio files.
• Build a collection of favorite sounds for quick access.

Tools — Everyday Tasks Made Easier

QuickFX includes a collection of utility tools that help you perform common After Effects operations more efficiently.

Layer and Composition Tools

• Create Null and Null 3D objects.
• Create Adjustment Layers and Solids.
• Create Cameras.
• Insert images from your clipboard using Paste Image.

Text and Graphics Tools

• Convert text into shapes with Text to Shape.
• Separate shape layer contents using Split Shape.
• Split masks using Split Mask.
• Switch fills and strokes with Swap Fill.
• Break text into individual words, characters, or lines using Decompose.

Additional Utilities

• Unprecompose — reverse the precomposition process.
• Organizer — organize elements within your project.
• Purge Cache — clear the After Effects cache.
• Create Glass — generate a Liquid Glass effect.
• Create Counter — create a counter.
• SRT to Text — import SRT subtitles as text layers.

Favorites — Keep What You Use Most Within Reach

You don't need to search through the entire library every time you want to use a favorite sound, preset, overlay, or tool.

Star frequently used items to access them quickly from a dedicated Favorites section.

Favorites brings together your selected assets, animations, Flow curves, and supported tools in one convenient place.

Settings — Your Library, Your Way

Customize QuickFX to fit your workflow:

• Choose your main asset library folder.
• Set a separate folder for images.
• Open library folders directly from the panel.
• Adjust the volume of newly added audio files.
• Manage Favorites and library settings.

Keep your personal assets separate from the extension's installation files. This makes it easier to back up your collection, add new resources, and move your library to another computer.

Who Is QuickFX For?

QuickFX is designed for video editors, motion designers, Reels and Shorts creators, and anyone who regularly works in Adobe After Effects and wants a faster, more convenient workflow.

It's especially useful for editors who have built up a large personal collection of sound effects, graphics, and animation presets.

Your Workflow, Without the Unnecessary Steps

QuickFX doesn't replace your creative process or force you to organize files in a particular way. Instead, it brings your familiar assets and essential tools together in one place, allowing you to focus on what matters most: creating great videos.

QuickFX — less time searching and doing repetitive tasks, more time for editing, creativity, and results.
