Yanobox Nodes is a free generative motion‑graphics plugin for After Effects, Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut Pro X and Motion that builds connected particle systems from primitives, 3D models or footage.
Developed by Yanobox (FxFactory).

About Yanobox Nodes
Yanobox Nodes is a generative motion‑graphics plugin from Yanobox that runs in After Effects, Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut Pro X and Motion on macOS. The plugin creates connected particle networks and abstract visual elements by generating a point cloud from geometric primitives, imported OBJ models or video footage, then populating it with particles, images and text. Users can define node relationships, script links, and render stacks of Bézier curves, lines or wireframes. Version 3 adds a replicator, an expanded animation module, a searchable preset browser with 300 presets, and GPU‑accelerated real‑time rendering of hundreds of thousands of elements. The plugin requires Noise Industries FxFactory (free download) to host it; FxFactory Pro, a paid version, uses the same system requirements.
Features
- Procedural geometry: build a point cloud from primitives, 3D models, or footage, then populate it with particles, images, and text lists
- Connected particles with defined node relationships, scripted links, and stacks of bezier curves, lines, or wireframes
- Auto-animation module with 4 slots and 40 parameter destinations, plus a one-click bypass for all animations
- Preset browser with categories and keyword search, backed by 300 animated presets and templates
- GPU-accelerated 3D environment with real-time rendering of hundreds of thousands of particles, text layers, lines, or bezier curves
- OBJ 3D model and sequence import, with nodes and text placed on the vertices
Best for
Motion designers and video editors who need procedural, connected particle graphics, abstract visual effects, or fantasy user‑interface elements inside major macOS video‑editing hosts.
Frequently asked questions
Does Yanobox Nodes require FxFactory to run?
Yes. Yanobox Nodes runs only when the Noise Industries FxFactory host is installed; FxFactory is available as a free download, and FxFactory Pro (paid) can also host the plugin.
Does Yanobox Nodes work on Apple Silicon Macs?
Yes. The plugin operates on both Apple‑silicon and Intel‑based Macs, provided the underlying FxFactory host supports the hardware.
Does Yanobox Nodes work with DaVinci Resolve and Final Cut Pro?
Yes. Yanobox Nodes is compatible with DaVinci Resolve and Final Cut Pro X, as well as After Effects, Premiere Pro and Motion, using the same preset library across hosts.
Can Yanobox Nodes import 3D models?
Yes. Nodes can import OBJ‑format 3D models and image sequences, allowing nodes and text to be placed on model vertices for particle generation.
Is Yanobox Nodes free?
The catalog lists Yanobox Nodes as free, but the plugin requires FxFactory, which has a free version and a paid Pro version; licensing details should be confirmed on the developer’s page.
