About Drive

Drive is a Freshmograph plugin for After Effects that enables property‑to‑property control. You select two properties; the first is driven by the second. Example use cases include rotating a layer based on another layer’s x position, adjusting a particle emitter’s rate according to a layer’s scale, or changing a layer’s hue using another layer’s opacity. The plugin is at version 1.02, released on October 11, 2022, and is listed as free. Compatibility spans After Effects CC 2019 and the 2020‑2026 releases. Licensing details may change, so consult the developer’s site for the latest terms.
