After Effects 2025, 2024

2.0.1  (Current version)  -  Feb 4, 2025

Bug
 • Fixed a bug where the typewriter effect is extremly slow

2.0.0  -  Feb 4, 2025

New Preset Library
 • You can now use and create custom text box presets! Save your favorite styles for quick access.

New User Interface
 • The new UI changes make Karton easier to fit alongside other extensions and adapt to smaller sizes seamlessly.

Features
 • A new typewriter effect has been added, featuring even more customizable cursors! Adjust style, color, speed, blink, and more to make it uniquely yours.

1.2.2  -  Nov 11, 2024

Features
 • When the Reload Button is clicked, all layers and their Kartons will rename according to their content. This can be disabled by right-clicking on Reload Button → Layer Names → Change Names to Content and unchecking the checkbox

Bugs
 • Typewriter: Fixed an issue where the timing was offset when the layer was shifted in time
 • Typewriter: Animation is now independent of the FPS

Other
 • When Absolute Padding is enabled, the stroke width on the Karton will now be absolute and unaffected by scaling
 • Using the Move Child Button when a Child Karton has keyframes on Parent X, Parent Y, Child X, Child Y will now create new keyframes at the current time
 • Typewriter: When a text layer is being typed, the cursor will not blink while typing
 • Expressions have been adjusted to utilize new text expression features. They remain compatible with versions 2024 and earlier, but 2025 and above are recommended

1.2.0  -  Sep 4, 2024

Features
 • Karton now works in 3D
 • New Button: Typewriter Animation
  • This button creates a typewriter animation on the selected text layers. You can base the animation on Characters, Words, or Lines. The animation is driven by the layer's in-point and out-point. You can animate the layer On and Off, On Only, or Off Only.
  No keyframes needed!
 • Created an information bar underneath the buttons to quickly read the button names when hovered over
 • Created an alternative horizontal layout when the window is big enough

Karton FX
 • Added Alignment Preference
  • When a text layer has a typewriter effect on it, you can now choose whether to vertically align the text or the Karton. This prevents text layers or Kartons from glitching left to right.
