WHAT MAKES THE TRIP

Keep the useful parts useful.

Choose editability where it helps. Choose rendered accuracy when that matters more.

01

Editable by default, where supported.

Shapes, fills, strokes, gradients, and text arrive as working AE content—not a single flattened frame.

02

Typography still has a job to do.

Edit supported text, change the words, and animate the result inside After Effects.

03

Paste the everyday assets.

Bring supported images, self-contained SVG, video, and audio from the clipboard into your AE project.

DESIGN FIDELITY

Keep the look.
Choose the layers.

AEShiper carries supported structure across. When a complex appearance matters more than editability, mark it as an image and send the rendered result instead.

  • Supported glass, clipping, texture, and effects
  • Optional hierarchy and precomp organization
  • Explicit image handoff for complex visuals

THE PRACTICAL DETAILS

Before you ship.

Clear answers about apps, artwork, installation, and licensing.

Which apps and platforms are supported?+

AEShiper connects Figma and Illustrator to After Effects on macOS and Windows x64. Windows ARM64 is not currently offered.

What stays editable—and when should I use PNG?+

Supported shapes, fills, strokes, gradients, and text can remain editable. Mark complex artwork as an image, or explicitly send PNG, when you need the rendered appearance of unsupported effects.

How do installation and activation work?+

Install the Figma plugin and the AEShiper After Effects companion on the same computer. Buy or sign in through your account, then activate your lifetime license in the companion.

How many devices can use one license?+

A lifetime license supports two registered computers. Remove an old computer from My account to free its place immediately, then activate your new computer with the same key. An old offline permission may continue until it expires.

Is my artwork uploaded?+

Artwork transfer runs locally between your design app and After Effects. AEShiper performs an online license check each time After Effects launches; licensing and device-verification information is checked online, not your artwork.

AESHIPER 1.9.0

Download
AEShiper.

Update the AEShiper companion and Figma plugin together. The AEShiper installer includes the Blender extension and installs/enables it automatically for detected Blender 4.2+ installations.

Get the Figma plugin Install browser extension
macOS · DMGDownload for macOSWindows x64 · EXEDownload for WindowsDownload the macOS PKG directly

Using Blender? Install Blender 4.2+ first. Save work and quit After Effects, Illustrator and Blender. On Mac, open the DMG then the PKG; on Windows, run the EXE. Reopen your apps afterward. Installed Blender later? Run the same AEShiper installer again. Manual system approval may be required because the Mac installer is not notarized and the Windows installer is unsigned.
