About synthetick GradientHub

synthetick GradientHub, previously called Colorama Browser, provides a visual thumbnail panel for After Effects. It supports applying gradients to four targets: Colorama, Color Shift, Shape Layers, and Layer Styles. Users can toggle thumbnail styles between wheel and linear, apply presets with a double‑click or an Apply button, and import gradients from GRD (Photoshop), CSS, and SVG formats. The panel includes more than 500 curated built‑in presets and allows saving custom gradients into categorized folders with auto‑generated thumbnails. In Colorama and Color Shift modes, gradients can update an existing effect or add a new instance, while Shape Layer tools work on one layer at a time with options for applying to selected fills/strokes or adding new gradient groups.
