Reach gives you easy access to a wide range of functions within AE, including commands, effects, presets, extensions, plugins, and all your scripts. There are also pre-written expressions, an expressions editor, a Script helper, and a storage feature for expressions.
Reach has exclusive features like tools for managing layers, keyframes, colors, audio sync, compositions, optimizations, crop, bounce, puppet pins, cameras, and more. The responsive interface also includes built-in features, for example, an anchor manager, align tools, easing sliders and shortcuts, and more.

Reach is regularly updated based on user feedback, so you can be sure you're always getting the latest and greatest.
The natural cherry on top is your bookmark manager and thematic toolbars with additional helpful and straightforward tools.
With a dynamic and responsive user interface, complete with a search bar for easy access to all features, Reach is a breeze.
Reach offers a free trial version with access to all side toolbars, so you can try it out and see for yourself just how mighty it is.

You can use this opportunity to Refresh Your Workspace and Seriously Boost your Workflow (no kidding).

  • If you click to launch a dockable script, click when you want it to disappear.
  • If you apply an effect, double-click on the effect in Reach to remove it
  • The tools' eraser thoroughly cleans your Layer of its effects and expressions.
