What It Does
States stores snapshots of property values, animations, and effects so you can switch between design variations without duplicating compositions. Save one version of a text animation, try a different approach, save that too, and toggle between them instantly. Every saved state preserves keyframes, effects, colors, and property settings, letting you experiment freely or manage client revisions without cluttering your project.
Key Features
Property States. Save any property in After Effects (position, scale, opacity, effects, keyframes) as a state. Switch back anytime without losing your work.
Layer States. Group multiple property variations into named sets. For example, store one state with a bounce-scale-up animation and another with a fade-in-slide, then swap between them on the same layer.
Project Styles. Combine layer states across your entire composition to build complete design themes. Create a clean typography/pastel version, a bold/dark version, and a playful/bright version, all stored in one project file.
Batch Rendering. Render all project styles with a single click. Useful for delivering multiple client options or exporting variations for A/B testing.
Mogrt Export. Convert states into a template for Motion Graphics templates, making your variations editable in Premiere Pro.
Apply at Playhead. Insert saved animations at the current time indicator instead of overwriting your timeline from the start.
Meta States. Save states of states (animation presets on top of existing presets) for more complex workflows.
Who It’s For
Useful for anyone managing revisions or exploring creative options. Designers trying different color schemes, animators testing motion timing, character animators syncing dialogue variations, or template builders creating flexible systems will save time by avoiding duplicate comps and version-file sprawl.
