Everything we've ever made. In one toolbar.
You know about KBar right? It is an absolute essential part of customizing Ae to fit your workflow.
Note: KBar is a paid tool that we do not sell –even though we wish we had thought it up.
One toolbar to rule them all
We love KBar. It's one of the first things we install on a new machine.
KBar is incredibly easy to customize, but getting started with some pre-made buttons and speed things up.
Download one toolbar with buttons for everything we make.
