Essential FX v4 is a game-changer. With the new graph section and new preset effects, this plugin takes your After Effects workflow to the next level. It’s not just about adding style—it’s about working faster and smarter. I promise you neeed this. Although I do wish there was a beat marker tool this is easily one of the best investments for any editor.

10/10 would recommend. This speeds up my workflow by 100! From the built in effects all the way down to the transitions, it's all great. If I was telling a close friend about this, I would tell them 100% to get this. Makes AE work so much easier!

As a content creator I am always looking for ways to speed up my workflow. Not every plugin actually helps speed things up, but Essential FX does. It’s made some repetitive tasks in After Effects way less annoying

As somebody just starting out as a videographer, Essential FX has not just been helpful, but a necessary tool I’ve used to learn how to properly edit in After Effects... I didn’t see much need for improvement until I got my hands on version 4.0 and I fell in love. Extremely smooth and easy to navigate interface with even more transitions... When it comes to editing workflow, Essential FX has become a necessary part of my production process... I’ll continue to recommend it to everyone.

The new update is fire, no lie. The Essential FX's previous version was known to lag sometimes, but this new improvement, 4.0, has me stunned. The feel, the look, and how much smoother it runs make my workflow at least 4x faster. Having instant access to all the tools I need within a single click has changed the way I edit forever.

Whether you’re polishing keyframes, adding shakes/transitions, fine-tuning animations, or adjusting flow — everything becomes smoother, faster, and more intuitive.
