"React is a wonderful tool "

Richard Beerens - Motion Designer + Director

Add an effector

New for v2 Apply effectors to any property that allows keyframes.*

Choose a Falloff shape - Circle, Box, Linear.

Stack multiple effectors for complex animations.

Position

Three powerful modes for precise control:

• Relative - Offset from original position
• Absolute - Set exact coordinates
• Attract/Repel - Push or pull layers towards a target.
position

Rotation

Two rotation modes for dynamic movement:

• Relative - Simple degree rotation
• Look At - Automatic orientation to target
rotation

Color

New color effector with five modes:

• Single Color
• HSL (Hue/Saturation/Lightness)
• Multiple Colors - Iterate
• Multiple Colors - Blend
• Multiple Colors - Random
color

Everything Else

If it can be keyframed, React can control it!

• Scale - Uniform or individual dimensions
• Opacity - Create fade effects
• Any property that allows keyframes*

Three Falloff shapes

Affect all layers or choose a falloff shape -

• Circle
• Box
• Linear

"I personally use this tool all the time. It saves me hours of tedious layer duplicating and tweaking key frames."

Andrew Marston - School of Motion

Introducing the all-new Tracer...

Connect repeated layers with dynamic lines or grids.

The tracer updates with effectors to add a new dimension to your animations.

Choose Grid, Snake or Zig-Zag settings when applied to a Grid Repeater.

Thanks to for the review


Just a heads-up - React v2 has a ton of speed + feature upgrades since this video.

Smart Modifiers

Every effector has 3 smart modifiers - Random, Step + Sticky.*

New for v2 The Random modifier now has evolution controls for loopable randomness.

*(excludes the Color effector, which has its own rules.)

Random

Adjust Random Seed, Evolution, and Evolution Steps parameters to control the intensity of randomization.

From subtle variations to dramatic changes, you can now loop random animations and define how many steps in a loop.

random

Step

Multiplies the index number of your repeated
layer to create step-by-step increments.

step

Sticky

Sticky is what we like to call the 'rounding' modifier
- it snaps values to the nearest user-defined number.

Set it to 45 to create geometric patterns.

Or set it to 1 and snap points on a star.

sticky

Thanks to Boone Loves Video for featuring React

And that's not it...

Works with text layers

Add a repeater to a text layer and split into -

• Letters
• Words
• Lines

Your repeated layers update as you type
with the dynamic text guide.

Add an effector to create unique animations.

text

Stack multiple effectors

More effectors = more fun!

Stack two or more effectors to create
ripple effects or more complex animations.

multi

Custom easing

Fine-tune your interpolation with React's
custom easing settings.

Or use one of the in-built easing settings -

• Linear
• Ease In + Out
• Ease In
• Ease Out
easing

New in Version 2

Control Any Property

Apply effects to any property that allows keyframes.*

Much, much faster

We've rebuilt a lot of the workflow and expressions to make v2 a lot faster.

The Refresh button

Need to add more layers to a repeater?

No problem, dial in the quantity and hit Refresh to add them in.

Smart sorting options

You can now sort the layers in a repeater.

Iterate, cluster, random, row and columns - pick a sorting mode and hit Refresh.

The all-new Tracer feature

Connect repeated layers with dynamic lines or grids.

The tracer updates with effectors to add a new dimension to your animations.

The Random modifier has evolved

No longer just a Random Seed setting...

Loop random animations seamlessly with Evolution and Evolution Steps.

Attract/Repel - X + Y multipliers

You can now attract in one dimension and repel in the other with X + Y multipliers.



*(excludes custom properties, like histograms)
