The user’s expression is not deleted
If the property you want to associate with the adaptive design system already has your expression, then now this expression is not deleted but, if possible, used as the “yourValue” variable. If your expression consists of different variables, then your expression is commented. This way, in any case, your expression will not be deleted, and you can modify it to suit your specific task.
Fixed Point Control for Vector Layers
When you change the composition resolution, After Effects tries to adapt the value of all Point Controls to the new composition size. This makes sense, but if such a Point Control is used on a vector layer or on a layer with collapsed transformations, it can break your layout when using the adaptive design system. In this case, apply the fixation action to the problematic point control.
The Templates – Special Bonus for Donators
Adaptive Motion Design is a free tool, but we decided to add a nice bonus for those who financially support the Motion Bro project. Now, a special extended version, which includes the “Templates” category, is available for all donators. This category will collect various ready-made layouts related to the adaptive design system. As a pilot version of the bonus, we added an extensive collection of titles.
Each title automatically adapts to the width of the text, and you can customize all key parameters, such as color scheme, font, shape, stroke, fill, and so on.
Enjoy it, and let me know in the comments what other tool you’d like to see in Adaptive Motion Design.

These tools are AMAZING…really hoping to implement them to solve our issues with multiple formats for a big client. Tight deadlines, tons of aspect ratios. Had to buy it!
Question though, is there any way to make your own test resolutions? I’d love to be able to put our many target formats in there for quick stress testing of our designs. I see the presets – the JSX files – but when I create a new one, it doesn’t get picked up by the addon. Thanks!!!
Try the following:
1. Rename the package file extension “.mbr” to “.zip”.
2. Unzip the resulting archive.
3. Copy and edit the JSX files that change the resolution. The code is quite simple, and I think it is easy to understand.
4. Pack the files back into “.mbr” as shown in this instruction: https://motionbro.com/help/creation-of-the-final-mbr-file/
Muito bom!
