For Motion Designers

Animate the things that matter. Skip the rest.

Filmit.io is an After Effects plugin suite for motion designers, animators, and mograph artists. Centralized color control, grid systems, batch text animation, distance-based triggers, and an expression library. Built so you spend your day on the animation, not the setup.

The Mograph Tax

Where the time actually goes

Most motion design hours aren't spent animating. They're spent setting up grids, sampling color from references, naming layers, building expression rigs from scratch, and conforming to brand guidelines. Filmit gives you those hours back.

🎨

Color across forty layers

Brand updates the palette mid-project. Now you're hunting through every comp, every fill effect, every solid, manually swapping the new hex code into dozens of places.

ColorMaster centralizes every fill, stroke, and tint into one swatch panel

Grids, guides, and pixel-perfect layouts

Every comp starts with the same setup: golden ratio guides, baseline grid, safe zones, even split for the kinetic type. You build them by hand every time.

GridMaker generates production-ready guides and split layouts in one click

Kinetic type, again

The brief calls for word-by-word animated lower thirds across a fifteen-segment piece. You can do it manually or you can not.

TextPilot animates per-character or per-word across hundreds of layers in batch

Trigger-based animation rigs

Want a layer to react when another layer enters its proximity? You're either writing distance expressions by hand or copying them from a stack of half-broken files.

ProXimity sets up distance triggers visually, no expression writing required

A typical motion brief, with Filmit

From blank comp to brand-locked deliverable

Here's a one-day kinetic type piece for a brand client, with Filmit handling the setup overhead.

01

Comp setup with GridMaker

Pick the layout (3x split, golden grid, safe zones) and GridMaker generates the guides. No more dragging guides by hand.

02

Brand colors in ColorMaster

Drop the brand palette into ColorMaster. Every fill in the comp now references the master swatch. Brand changes their gold? One click updates everything.

03

Type in TextPilot

Paste the script. TextPilot creates per-word animated layers with kinetic timing across the whole sequence. Hours saved.

04

Reactive elements with ProXimity

The icon needs to scale up when text passes near it. ProXimity does this without writing expressions, with a slider for falloff.

05

Polish with ToolKit

Quick snapshots for client review, alignment fixes, exports staged. ToolKit handles the last-mile polish.

06

Expressions when you need them

Need an oscillation, a delay rig, a wiggle clamp? EXpression library has tested expressions ready to copy. AI helper customizes for your specific values.

Why we built this

Made by motion designers, for motion designers

Filmit.io is a mission-driven indie studio. The plugins started as scripts and rigs the team built for client work over the last decade. They got refined into products because too many motion designers were paying twenty-nine dollars a pop for tools that should be table-stakes. A portion of every Filmit subscription is reinvested into the creative community through grants for emerging motion artists, paid contributor work, and the open course library at filmit.io/courses.
