{ mograph } Picked this up last night, installed it this morning, and I don't know how I could ever go back to working without it in After Effects.

The new update to Quick Menu takes a tool I loved and has now made it a necessary daily driver. https://t.co/5nLUVxkZMq

I've been looking for something like this but never knew I was looking for something like this. If that makes sense.

You can search across many more things than FX Console. It's lightning fast. It has a lot more customization capabilities with the newest version.
