Author Notes

I'm sharing my favorite After Effects plugins of all time. Over the years of my animating for commercial & personal motion design work, I've summed up these top ten plugins (with the best value) I've used and you can get for the latest version of After Effects. Great plugins can be incredibly useful utilities to improve your after-effects workflow.
