What It Does
Graph Master 3 generates procedural charts and graphs directly inside After Effects. Pick from six graph types (bar, spline, pie, finance, line, radar), enter your data through a quick-entry form, and get animated, customizable results. The free version limits you to bar graphs only.
Key Features
Six graph types. Build bar graphs, spline graphs, pie charts, finance graphs (stock/candlestick style), line graphs, and radar graphs. Each type includes preset variations and multiple shading options.
Quick data entry form. The plugin includes a form-based interface for entering values, no manual keyframing required. Data updates propagate automatically through the graph.
Pre-animated results. Graphs come with built-in animations. Bars grow in, lines draw on, pie slices unfold. You control timing through standard AE keyframes.
Automatic alignment and legends. The plugin handles axis scaling, label placement, and can auto-generate legends for multi-series graphs.
Open structure. All elements are standard AE layers and shapes. You can edit colors, strokes, fonts, and layer properties after generation.
Expandable preset library. Each graph type ships with presets for common layouts (dual bars, horizontal/vertical orientation, stacked vs grouped, etc.).
Recent updates (v3.6.1) improved rendering speed by 1.5–2.5x, added the radar graph section, and included a quick-entry form for bar and spline graphs.
Who It’s For
Ideal for motion designers creating explainer videos, infographics, financial reports, or data-driven animations. If you regularly build charts in Illustrator then import them, this keeps everything procedural and editable in AE.
