About REACH Pro

REACH Pro is an After Effects extension focused on a search bar that lets users quickly locate and bookmark commands, effects, presets, scripts, and expressions. It provides built‑in tools for generating bones from Pen paths, creating 3D camera rigs, slicing text, batch renaming layers, converting expressions to keyframes, and generating beat markers from BPM. Layout utilities handle centering, resizing, staggering, and grid creation, while audio reactors enable sound‑driven animations. A recent update adds a Color Palettes Management Tool. The extension includes an AI assistant supporting eight providers; users supply their own API keys and select models in the settings. REACH Pro runs on Windows and macOS and is compatible with After Effects CC 2022 through 2026.
