About Animography Controller
Animography Controller, developed by MotionLand, provides a workflow where a single controller layer manages character animations in After Effects. It is compatible with After Effects CS6 and later, including the 2024, 2023, 2022, 2021, 2020, CC 2019, CC 2018, CC 2017, CC 2015.3, CC 2015, CC 2014, CC, and CS6 builds. The plugin supports non‑English installations of After Effects. Version 1.8 placed the controller at the top of selected layers, while version 1.8.1 added fixes for duplicated layers and added pre‑composition checks. Earlier updates introduced support for previously unsupported characters and multi‑lingual handling. The tool is distributed at no cost, though users should verify current licensing on the developer’s site.
