After Effects Is Powerful. It's Also Missing Some Stuff.
After Effects can do almost anything — compositing, motion graphics, VFX, 3D. But there are these little workflow gaps that have always existed. Things you'd expect to just be there. And they're not.
Taking a quick visual snapshot to compare versions? Clunky.
Capture, store, and flip between multiple snapshots instantly.
Rendering a quick test without the full output module? Too many steps.
Quick Render — pick format, output, go. Ideal for test renders.
Batch processing comps without babysitting the render queue?
Batch Processor. Set up, walk away, come back to finished files.
Setting up consistent guides across comps? Manual every time.
Guide System — save presets, apply to any comp with one click.
The Four Tools
Snapshots
Capture comp states, store multiple snapshots, flip between them to compare versions. Great for client reviews.
Quick Render
Set up a quick render without configuring the full queue. Pick format, output location, hit go.
Batch Processor
Process multiple comps in sequence. Different output settings per comp if needed.
Guide System
Create, save, and apply guide layouts. Safe zones, thirds, center marks — one click to apply.
Why Four Tools in One Plugin?
Because none of these individually justifies learning and installing a separate plugin. But together, they fix the most common "why isn't this built in?" frustrations in AE. ToolKit lives in the corner of your workspace, you use it constantly, and you stop thinking about it as a plugin.
