The workflow

Five actions.
Five clicks.

The comp you just opened already wants alignment, pre-comp, a layer, an effect, and a freeze frame. With EaseTools, that whole sequence is five clicks — not five menu hunts.

1Align layer
Layer → Transform → Anchor Point → drag to center
1 click
2Pre-compose
Layer → Pre-compose → name → OK → move
1 click
3Adjustment layer
Layer → New → Adjustment Layer → rename → color
1 click
4Gaussian blur
Effects → Blur & Sharpen → Gaussian Blur → adjust
1 click
5Freeze frame
Layer → Time → Freeze on Frame → pick frame
1 click
What it does

Every move that used to take four clicks.

A tiny panel that sits in the corner of After Effects and quietly deletes the friction from the workflow you already have.

align

9-point align

Snap anchor points to any corner, edge or dead-center in a single click. No submenus, no math.

flow

Pre-comp & center

Pre-comp selection, center in comp, save the current frame — the three moves you do a hundred times a day.

layers

Layers on tap

Adjustment, solid, shape, null, camera. Named, coloured and ready before you finish the thought.

fx

Effects, pre-configured

Gaussian Blur, Curves, Levels, Hue/Sat, Tint, Fill — applied with sane defaults, not raw sliders.

util

Utility shortcuts

Freeze frame, fit to comp, dashed outline, mirror layer. The small wins that compound all day.

The maker

I built this because my own comps were too slow to make.

EaseTools started as a private panel I kept in the corner of After Effects. Every time I caught myself opening four menus to add one adjustment layer, I added another button. After months of real client work, it became the only panel I never close.

Now it is one signed .zxp for Windows and macOS, 27 tools, and a single price. No upsells, no license servers, no surprises.

Questions

Everything you'd ask before paying.

Which After Effects versions work?

After Effects CC 2019 and newer, on both Windows 10/11 and macOS (Intel and Apple Silicon). If it doesn't open in your version, you get a refund.

How do I install the .zxp?

Drag EaseTools.zxp into the free ZXP Installer app (Windows or macOS), then restart AE and open Window → Extensions → EaseTools.

Is this a subscription?

No. One payment of $9.99 and the panel is yours, including every future update. No license servers, no activation, no watermark.

Can I use it on client work?

Yes — commercial use is covered, on the machines you personally work on.

What if it isn't for me?

Email within 14 days and you get your money back through Gumroad. No forms, no justification needed.

Do updates cost extra?

Never. Updates are re-downloaded from the same Gumroad link you already own, free, for the life of the product.

Getting started

Three steps. Ninety seconds.

01

Buy & download

One $9.99 payment on Gumroad, then download EaseTools.zxp.

02

Install the panel

Drop EaseTools.zxp into the free ZXP Installer app — same steps on Windows and macOS.

03

Open in After Effects

Restart AE, then Window → Extensions → EaseTools. That's it.

If After Effects doesn't list the panel right away, fully quit and reopen it — extensions are only scanned at launch. Works the same on Windows and macOS.
