Sorry to keep you waiting but there are so many things to put together in the new version. We're also going though all the tools and improving them. Here's a screen recording of what you can expect from the new version.

I'm in the fence between purchasing MoBar2 vs upgrading the Kbar to version 3. I installing the Try version and start adding my buttons with effects, like Curves, Tint, etc. But I'm having a hard time finding a way to customize that button, Am I missing something here ? or this is not a option at this point available in MoBar 2.3 ?
I have a small problem. I can't scroll down to my other favourite options. How I can do that? With Mousewheel / Keyboard Keys arent possible? Is there a solution? Thanks in Advice

Hi Daniel,
Unfortunately, the script panel doesn't support scrolling. But here's the good news: we're developing a new version and turning MoBar into an extension. So, all those UI/UX features will be doable in the new version.
There are no interface changes to the main panel in v2.4. However, the tools library has been updated. We have redesigned some of the tools UI and added new features. The extension version is in the beta phase.
Move the file downloaded from the link above (version 3.0.11) into the ZXP installer.
TBH I was confused, because I updated using the AEscripts installer and it didn't seem like anything really changed? This did the trick for me! Correct me if I'm wrong @Motion Ape and thank you for all of your hard work developing this great tool.
Yes, that's correct. As previously stated, the new version is currently in the Beta phase. You can participate in the beta test by using the link provided below.
Wait so I'm confused..Being a Mobar 1 owner do I have to pay full price again? I installed the Mobar 2 trial as my MoBar 1 broke so I assumed I needed a new version..But I had the latest one that was in my account.
Will this trial run out after a set time meaning I need to pay full price again? I was under the impression the marketing behind this is 'buy once, get lifetime updates' but I'm stuck on MoBar 1????

Hi Michael,
MoBar 2 was released last year as a free update. A few days ago, we published another update, which we will continue to provide for free as promised. If you have any concerns, please contact our support team using the link below.
Is there a feature in MoBar to do below: I want to keep the previous transformations of the layer after i unlink it from the null object. Here is the audio-visual demonstration.

If that's the case, take my money now!
This can be done in only a specific situation if your null always starts from the center of the screen. This would serve as a possible reference point. Otherwise, it is not possible to get the null and the child layer's positions when they are parented to make a proper calculation.
There is a tool in MoBar's library that helps you create null layers. One of the options creates a null in the center and parents the selected layers maintaining the current hierarchy. Starting with this will make it easier to reach your starting point. Additionally, there is another tool that helps you select the child layer of a null. I think using this combination would make this process easier.

hmm, Parenter by Aris Melachroinos just added this feature 4 hours ago after i requested. He just alt+clicks to remove button. Here is the video of it It's so quick and easy to do with that plugin. Can you add this feature to Mobar 2 near future? I'm about to buy it because i need this feature for procedural workflow.

My response was about any hierarchy you're trying to unparent. Otherwise, if you create a null with a tool, it's easy to reset it.

Hi, the search function is slow, and if the fx console plugin is installed after effects will crash always, maybe you can fix this or make the search function much faster
Hi i have a lot of crashes specifically because of this plugin in when I try to open AE projects. I get the following Issue:
Last log message was: <269281> <Sxripting> <5> Initializing delay loaded tab: /applications/Adobe After Effects 2024/SCripts/ScriptUI Panels/Mobar.jsxbin.
Even after Updating to the latest version of it (2.4.1), Running in AE 2024 on a Macbook proM1 with Sonoma 14.5
It happens on every other Project. I try to load it, then it gets stuck on 90% and AE crashes. Even on Projects i dident use the plugin at all. It's litterally the Plugin trying to load that crashes AE.

Hello Motion Ape, I bought Mobar but after couple of selected Functions I get a "Limit Exceeded". Is that normal? Must I pay double for MoBar? https://prnt.sc/CAKCQOv2plcv Thanks in advice

Hi Daniel, the version you're using is the extension (beta) version and it's still under development. You can find the version you purchased at Window -> MoBar.jxsbin. When the extension version is released, you'll be notified.
MoBar has significantly changed the way that I work. This is the best script on this site, and I refuse to ever again work in After Effects without it.
Whatever your hourly rate, if you're a motion designer this should pay for itself on day 1 and has lifetime updates anyway.
Oh, and the support is top-notch. I've been feature-requesting and bug-reporting the beta for MoBar 3 (which is incredible!), and I'd have responded "unsubscribe" or traveled in person to stab me by now if I were the developer on the other end.
I'm so impressed by Motion Ape that I'll be first in line to purchase anything they put out going forward.
I'm looking at simplifying the toolset and mobar is looking great for that. However I don't see any tools related to masks. I'd like an Overlord style of tool to get path from illustrator into aep mask in the correct position. Does mobar have a "shape layer to mask in same position" tool?
Whenever I use the Screenshot function, I get this error:
"Error at line # 456
TypeError: null is not an object"
The screenshot exports fine, but it's annoying having to constantly click X. I think it has something to do with "Auto-close window after exporting process".
Why do the Mobar buttons keep disappearing? It happens on both our M1 Max and M3 Max computers. All the icons disappear and you have to wave the cursor over all the buttons to make them visible again. This has been going on for months, if not over a year now.
Your plugin is outstanding, but this simple issue significantly hurts the user experience. Any chance a fix is on the horizon?

I think the new version of Overlord 2 can transfer the masks from AI to AE now. It'd better to check that out first

No update after almost 2 months.. any news about your exciting next update?

I'm really curious about the new extension. Although, mine looks exactly the same after updating to v2.4.
Something i'm missing?
