Your workflow is UNIQUE. And Reach is: Give it a try and be amazed.
Get ready to raise After Effects with the Reach AEssential kit:
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).
A tool with so many features might initially seem intimidating, but don't worry! We've designed Reach to be customizable to fit your individual needs. In the settings, you can deactivate any toolkit except for the tool's core – the powerful search bar.
- If you click on the info button at the top right, you can completely fine-tune your interface :)
- 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.
"AE in a Nutshell (but simpler)!"
In addition to effects, presets, extensions, and customizable features, you can access and bookmark EVERYTHING
UI: Bookmarks |Feedback | Screen Capture Tool & Search Bar
Buttons: Refresh, Bookmarks, Commands, FX, Presets, Your scripts, Utilities, Expressions, Editor, Infos.
