Recently, I released a new 5th version of my Motion Bro plugin for After Effects and Premiere Pro. You can see more about the new version of the plugin in this short video review.

So, what’s new in Motion Bro 5?

Edit Tab

In previous versions of Motion Bro, you had to open the preset’s composition or sequence, find the master layer with the settings, and then use the standard cumbersome Effect Controls panel to customize presets.

In the new version, you just need to select the preset layer on the timeline and click “Select Clip”. Now, you can customize the preset and all related text layers directly in the plugin panel, where nothing is superfluous.

Copy & Paste Mode

In Premiere Pro, Adobe developers didn’t provide a way to copy properties from one Mogrt clip and paste them into another. For this reason, you had to manually reapply color or text adjustments each time for the following clip.

With the Motion Bro plugin, you can bypass that limitation and copy properties from one Mogrt clip to another. Just enable Copy & Paste mode and choose which properties to copy.

I note that the “Edit” panel, including Copy & Paste mode, isn’t limited to Motion Bro presets. It works with any layers on your timeline, making it a versatile tool for everyday customization tasks.

3D Import for Premiere Pro

For the previous version of my plugin, I released add-ons that allow you to import 3D models and 3D images directly into Premiere Pro without any third-party plugins. However, the interface into add-ons wasn’t user-friendly, which could lead to some issues. In the new version, I’ve made the interface more intuitive.

Batch Installation

In the previous 4th version of the Motion Bro plugin, you had to install preset packs one by one, waiting for the installation to complete over and over again to activate the next pack. It was pretty painful, especially when installing bundles containing several dozen packages.

Now, you don’t have to install all the packages individually. Just drag and drop all the packages into the plugin and wait for the installation to complete.

    Hello! I’m using after effects 2021 and I updated the 4.5 motion bro to this 5 new one.
    the problem is I can’t find it! I tried installing it manually, via creative cloud, via zxp and After Effects doesn’t show the “motion bro 5” in the window>extensions or even in the bottom of the menu (where other plugins appears sometimes)
    I also have the AFX 2025 and it shows there, but I need to work in the AFX 2021 🙁
    is there a way to solve this? I don’t have any answer while googling this problem

      Hello, the plugin should work in AE 2021. If the plugin does not appear in Window > Extension, then the reason may be a situation when some changes were made in the plugin folder. The most common case is when the user tries to install preset packages into the plugin folder.

    Will my 4.5.0 presets work in AE when I upgrade? I would hate to have to buy them all over again like the last update from 3-4. Thanks
