About Brand Keeper

Brand Keeper is a CEP panel for After Effects that keeps client brand data—colors, fonts, assets, and notes—inside the application and stored locally on the user’s machine. Colors are split into primary and secondary palettes with one‑click HEX copy, custom labels, and drag‑to‑reorder. A typeface library records role, weight, and size for each font. Assets can be added via drag‑and‑drop, support multi‑file drops, show thumbnail previews, and be imported directly into the active composition. A folder system with color markers helps organize assets, while a bulk action bar enables multi‑select import, removal, or clearing. Unlimited brands are managed in a global library, with per‑composition notes, and can be exported/imported as .bkbrand files. Real‑time search and filter auto‑expand matching folders. The panel works with After Effects 2025 and 2026 on both macOS and Windows and runs without an internet connection.
