ProximityPro adds proximity‑based animation to After Effects, letting a single effector null control scale, position, rotation, opacity, color, glow, blur and 3D transforms without writing expressions. Version 2.0 supports After Effects 2022‑2026 and runs from the Effect Controls panel.

About ProximityPro
ProximityPro automates proximity logic inside After Effects, eliminating the need for custom expressions. All settings are accessed from the Effect Controls panel and driven by a single effector null, applying distance‑based influence across multiple layers. The plugin can animate scale, position, rotation, opacity, color tint, glow, blur, and 3D transform options. Additional features include forward and reverse time remap and Look‑At in both 2D and 3D. Version 2.0, released February 1, 2026, fixed bugs, added two new proximity options, and expanded controls for color shift, fade, reveal opacity, a Center Anchor Point, and a Remove Selected Effect button. It is compatible with After Effects 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025 and 2026.
