Motion Tools Prov2.1.1
Physics and Distribution stability update
Improved
Faster simulations and cleaner timelines: trimmed layers only participate while they're visible (in/out points)
Fix
Force layers now stay aligned when parented, even with custom anchor points, scaling, and rotation
Fix
More stable results for animated scale and non-centered anchors (less drifting in applied Position keyframes)
Fix
Improved reliability for complex concave shapes and rotated polygons
Fix
Handles duplicate layer names correctly
Fix
Path guide sampling now matches what you see, even when the guide layer is parented
Fix
Better placement for parented layers, so distributed duplicates land where you expect
Fix
Fixed null positioning when selected layers already have a parent
January 2026
Motion Tools Prov2.1.0
Physics Widget, Distribution Widget, Text Splitter, Script Settings, Easing Sets, Share Center, and Expressions Library improvements
New
Add realistic physics to your layers — objects can fall, bounce, and collide. Works with rectangles, circles, shapes, masks, and AE 2026 parametric 3D meshes. Control gravity, bounce, friction, and density per layer
New
Forces: Add attraction and repulsion force fields with animated strength and radius
New
Kinematic bodies: Create animated obstacles that push physics objects without being affected themselves
New
Generate point patterns (Grid, Poisson, Fibonacci, Spiral, Radial, and more) and fill them with duplicates of selected layers. Supports avoid/include zones, random primitives, AE 2026 3D meshes, and settings persistence
New
Split text layers into individual characters, words, or lines with customizable options
New
Easing Sets: Organize your easing presets into collections. Create, rename, duplicate, and delete sets. Export and import sets to share with your team
Improved
Improved preset editor layout and smoother renaming workflow
Fix
Improved stability when upgrading from older versions
Fix
Easing curves now work correctly with linear keyframes
Expressions Library
Improved
New badges show which properties each expression works with (position, scale, rotation, opacity, text) and what it requires
Improved
New Property and Requirements filters to quickly find the right expression
Fix
Fixed button alignment in expression cards
Fix
Fixed filter dropdowns being hidden behind other elements
Super3D Widget
Improved
Updated to match Super3D v1.4.6 with better shape support and material options
Fix
Built-in 3D shapes and generators now appear correctly in the library
Fix
Fixed error when selecting materials
New
Script Settings: Configure settings for individual scripts directly from the Settings panel
New
Share Center: Export and import your Motion Tools setup — layouts, scripts, expressions, and styles — as a single portable file
Improved
All documentation links now open on tools.motiondesign.school for faster access
December 2025
Motion Tools Prov2.0.16
Major scripts update: Crop Comp, Parent Null, Easings Manager, UnPreComp fixes + new Expression collections
Fix
Alt/Shift modifiers restored for Hold and Auto-Bezier
Fix
Updated tooltips to show correct shortcuts
Fix
Fixed incorrect positioning when layers have expressions
Fix
Fixed positioning when selecting rotated null layers
Fix
Fixed bounding box calculation for rotated layers
Improved
Better support for auto-bezier and continuous keyframes
Fix
Fixed easing copy/paste for 3D layers, color properties, and complex keyframe types
Fix
Fixed easing behavior for motion paths and roving keyframes
New
Added support for Separate Dimensions position properties
Improved
Improved performance (~2x faster) while maintaining accuracy
Improved
Cleaner crop edges
Fix
Fixed cropping accuracy for thin lines and rotated shapes
Fix
Fixed excessive padding on thin stroke layers
Fix
Layers with expressions now maintain correct positions after cropping
Fix
Fixed 3D comps with cameras now crop correctly
Fix
No longer fails on comps with cameras, lights, or audio layers
Fix
Fixed errors when precomp contains light layers
Fix
Layers with expressions now maintain correct positions
Expressions Library
New
Motion Beast Collection (10 expressions) is now pre-installed as the built-in default
New
Added 4 new downloadable collections - Adobe Expression Basics (20), Procedural Animation (9), Expressions Trip Starter Pack (17)
Improved
Your favorites transfer automatically from older versions
Rive Player
New
Added ability to rename and delete custom packs
Improved
Artboard and state machine selections now stay selected when switching files
Fix
Fixed animations not displaying when loading local .riv files
Fix
Thumbnails now show correctly in the collection browser
Fix
Fixed notification "Clear all" button lingering after toasts auto-close
Motion Tools Prov2.0.15
Social Media Widget bug fix
Fix
Fixed a bug that prevented the new Social Media widget from appearing in the library
Motion Tools Prov2.0.14
Social Media Widget, Expression Editor improvements, and panel layout enhancements
Improved
Updated "Bake Expressions": adaptive expressions to keyframes functionality. Shift+Click for classic mode
Improved
Updated "Crop Comp" description with hotkey shortcuts: Alt+Click for separate crop per layer
Improved
Updated to AEScripts licensing framework v4.1.12
Improved
Default panel setup now seeds four independent "Motion Tools Layout" copies (one per panel) so changing one panel's layout no longer affects the others by default
Improved
Added tooltip to layout names in Layouts settings to show full name on hover
Improved
Changed "Minimalistic" theme to use dark background instead of light
Improved
Expression Editor: improved AE expression completions and contextual sourceRectAtTime .top/.left/.width/.height suggestions
Improved
Expression Editor: enabled word-based variable suggestions in the editor (currentDocument scope)
Improved
Expression Editor: enhanced property path resolution and pick-whip handling so entire layer paths are returned
Fix
Fixed layout form not updating when switching between layouts with identical appearance (title now updates correctly)
Fix
Fixed Ease Copy: handle multi-property selection by copying the first available property instead of failing
Fix
Fixed crop script issue
Fix
Fixed UI
Fix
Fixed duplicate dots and sanitized layer/group names in generated paths in the Expression Editor
Fix
Fixed duplicate registration of suggestion providers in the Expression Editor
Fix
Fixed Expression Editor autocomplete for sourceRectAtTime with contextual .top/.left/.width/.height suggestions
