A FEW GOOD QUESTIONS
Before you ship.
Do I need both companions?+
Yes. Install the AEShiper Figma plugin and the After Effects companion on the same computer. After Effects must be running for a transfer.
Does everything stay editable?+
Supported shapes and text remain editable. Images remain images. Some Figma features have limitations; explicitly mark complex content as an image when you need its rendered appearance.
Is AEShiper free?+
The current public release is free. Registration for a future beta is being prepared; existing free versions stay free. No purchase is offered on this page.
Will my artwork be uploaded?+
The design transfer runs locally between Figma and After Effects. The planned licensing service will receive licensing and device-verification information, not your artwork.
Your next animation
starts in Figma.
