UI Mockup Builder
Create editable vector UI mockups directly in After Effects for promos, tutorials, and product demos.
UI Mockup Builder
Build clean, editable interface scenes for product promos, tutorials, and demos without recording your After Effects workspace.
- Full or single panels
- Live preview
- Editable AE layers
- Win / Mac styling
Designed for product storytelling
Your promo should look designed, not screen-recorded
Frame the shot
Choose Workspace, Viewer, Project, or Timeline and set the exact output dimensions and UI scale.
Configure the interface
Edit names, rows, tabs, timing, artwork, panel details, and product placement while the preview updates.
Create and animate
Generate the composition, refine it with handles and controls, and use the optional staged starter animation.
Full workspace
Build the entire scene at once
Create a balanced workspace with Project, Composition Viewer, Timeline, toolbar, window shell, and optional product space in one operation.
- Custom composition size and independent UI scale
- Resizable panel split and workspace size handles
- Automatic clipping and scrollbars for long content
- Optional Mac-style or Windows-style window controls
Composition Viewer
Use only the panel the shot needs
Generate a standalone viewer for close-ups and callouts, or include it in the full workspace. Tabs, labels, rulers, lower controls, and content respond to your setup.
- Artwork mode or a clean New Project state
- Editable active and inactive composition tabs
- Move and resize artwork while preserving proportions
- Live time display and recognizable vector controls
Project panel
Long project lists that actually scroll
Set the item count, enter the names you need, and let UI Mockup Builder fill the remainder automatically. Overflowing rows stay clipped below the header and move with a dedicated scrollbar.
- Automatic Comp_XX names when the list is incomplete
- Optional preview, search, columns, rows, and footer
- Scrollable row precomposition for large item counts
- Scrollbar visibility and size respond to panel height
Timeline panel
Art-direct the timeline before generation
Choose the duration, position the playhead, and arrange individual layer bars in the extension preview. The generated ruler, bars, playhead, and timecode keep the same timing.
- Drag bars or trim them from either edge
- Set global starts and ends or align all layers
- Reset the layout or generate new randomized timing
- Move the generated playhead and update its timecode
Create the base, then direct the shot in After Effects
The generated composition is not a flattened image. UI Mockup Builder leaves you with named layers, panel roots, control layers, resize handles, scroll controls, artwork controls, and animation-ready elements.
UIB_CONTROL
Adjust global colors and available visual settings from a dedicated control layer.
Product-ready space
Reserve a docked or floating Promo Slot, then place your own panel screenshot or product video over it.
Visual resize handles
Resize complete workspaces and individual panels directly in the composition.
Starter animation
Preview and generate a staged interface build instead of a single flat fade-in.
One tool for the interface shots around your product
Use the same visual system across launch trailers, feature breakdowns, help videos, social posts, and documentation without rebuilding the surrounding software UI for every composition.
Script authors
Present scripts and extensions inside a controlled software-style environment.
Motion designers
Create editable interface scenes for explainers, title sequences, and product films.
Educators
Build clean diagrams and close-ups without exposing a busy real workspace.
Content teams
Keep interface visuals consistent across horizontal, vertical, and square content.

What does UI Mockup Builder create?
It creates a new After Effects composition or adds the selected mockup to the active composition. The result uses editable shape, text, null, and precomposition layers rather than a flattened screenshot.
Can the mockup be changed after generation?
Yes. Use UIB_CONTROL, the generated panel roots, workspace handles, scroll controls, artwork control, and the standard After Effects layer controls to refine the result.
Does the Promo Slot insert my product automatically?
No. It reserves an integrated space in the workspace. You remain in control of the final content and can place your own screenshot, screen recording, or precomposition in that area.
Is this an exact copy of the After Effects interface?
No. UI Mockup Builder creates stylized, AE-inspired vector graphics designed for motion design. It does not include official Adobe logos or official Adobe interface artwork.
Is a trial available?
Yes. Install the trial from the Account menu in the aescripts + aeplugins Manager App.
Build the interface around your product
Preview the layout, generate the composition, and spend your time animating the story instead of redrawing the software around it.
