3 useless (but super fun) plugins for After Effects

In this video, I’m showing you 3 After Effects plugins that are absolutely useless, completely unnecessary, and honestly? You MUST have them!

We aren’t talking about the best plugins for After Effects to speed up your renders.
We are talking about raising a digital pet inside After Effects with Shape Shifters, controlling your music with Spotify for After Effects, and - the most comical one - using a plugin designed to intentionally make your renders slower.

These AE plugins won't make you a better motion designer, but they will make Adobe After Effects a lot less boring in 2025.
