Burst Box provides one‑click generation of burst animations for After Effects. The plugin ships with 30 built‑in bursts and lets users adjust parameters such as shape, color, and timing. It supports After Effects releases from CC 2019 up to 2026 and its expressions have been updated to work in multiple language versions. Version 1.2 uses the developer’s latest licensing system, which is intended to improve stability. A free trial is available for evaluation before any purchase.
The compatibility range covers After Effects 2020‑2026, as well as earlier releases back to CC 2019. Users of localized (non‑English) After Effects installations can use the plugin because the expression code was revised for multilingual support.
