What It Does
Motion Bro is a free plugin and content marketplace for After Effects and Premiere Pro. Install it and you get access to 5,000+ transitions, presets, lower thirds, and sound effects directly inside your timeline. The core plugin and a 1,400-item starter pack are completely free. Paid bundles expand the library with themed packs sold as one-time purchases.
Transitions automatically adapt to different aspect ratios, including horizontal, square, and vertical formats, which matters for editors working across social media platforms.
Key Features
Drag-and-drop from inside the app. Apply assets directly from the Motion Bro panel without leaving After Effects or Premiere Pro. No importing, no hunting through folders.
Transition categories. Overlap, light, glitch, glass wipe, flex, and stretch effects are all separate packs. You buy the styles you actually use rather than a catch-all bundle.
Sound FX Pack. 1,300 sound effects across 50+ styles, synchronized with transitions. Useful for social content and motion graphics work where audio and visual timing matter.
Auto-adapting resolution. Transitions adjust to your comp or sequence dimensions automatically, including vertical formats for Reels and Stories.
Themed paid bundles. Packs like Film Burn (150 presets), Glitch (700 presets), and Seamless Starter (220 transitions) are sold separately. All purchases include lifetime access and free updates.
Who It’s For
Motion designers and video editors producing high volumes of social content, client videos, or broadcast work get the most value here. The free starter pack is genuinely useful on its own. Paid bundles make sense for professionals who bill clients or produce commercial content and need a wider variety of styles.
