PHOTOSHOP!!! now in v2
PHOTOSHOP!!! now in v2
A mystical portal between the apps you use daily
Overlord is the thickening of the aether between the silos of visual creation. It is the unspoken language of the cosmos that breathes life into vision.
Illustrator, Figma and Photoshop all talking to After Effects as if they belonged together all along.
That's impossible
That's impossible
That's impossible
Unlock a new world of elemental wonder from your art files.
Photoshop layers
Transfer what you need with flexible layer stacks, instead of reimporting PSDs and rebuilding as designs change. Create editable Ae elements like:
Adjustment layers
Masks
Clipping
Layer
Vector
Layer styles
Text layers
Gradients
Figma layers
Based on the original Illustrator layer transfer, building Ae layers is now possible from both the web and desktop Figma apps. Frames come into Ae like they were designed, and pixel density is calculated on the fly to match the Ae comp.
For complex groups (icons, components, etc), Rasterize them down to a single image.
It's even possible to bring in components as Essential Graphics precomps.
Editable text
Text layers from Photoshop, Illustrator, and Figma now become Ae text layers, ready to edit. With per-character styling:
Kerning
Color
Font/weight/style
Color
Illustrator can even draw text on a path. 😎
Illustrator Gradients
Unlike the standard Ai file import (which converts gradients to a grey shape layer), linear and radial gradients build just like you expect them to.
Note: Freeform and mesh gradients cannot be drawn by Ae shape layers but you can Rasterize those shapes to a PNG.
Bonus actions
To support layer building, Overlord can also manage:
Precomping and decomping groups
Parametric rectangles and ellipses
Matching artboards and comps
Clipping masks
And much that was once lost from Illustrator:
Color swatches
Guide layers
What's new?
What's new?
What's new?
Now with Photoshop
After Effects has imported PSDs since the dawn of time. But once your design is inside of Ae, the flexibility stops.
Overlord now creates real Ae layers from Photoshop layers with masks, gradients, text and styling ready for animation.

Motion designer & illustratorNo other plugin has improved my workflow like Overlord. Being able to use all of the design tools in Illustrator and having the result appear in After Effects is a dream.
Overlord is one of the very few plugins I'd recommend in a heartbeat.

Buy once and use it until the heat death of the universe, or while all your creative apps and hardware support it. Whichever explodes first.
We will release new features as long as moving layers between creative apps is challenging. When you buy an Overlord license, you get the current version and one year of feature updates.
Do you see a new feature that could make your work and life better, but your license purchase is more than a year old?
Renew your license
It's super easy.
Is your work still flowing with the copy you bought in 2020? cool. no pressure. Renew when it makes sense for your workflow.

Overlord's underlings
The worlds of creation are joined and it only gets better with collaborators
Rubberhose 3
Design a character in Illustrator and send it directly into After Effects, then use a powerful set of build tools to convert paths to hoses or add bones to bring poses to life.
Void
Group layers intuitively as you work. Selected layers are automatically parented for easy movement. With Voids, 2D Position properties in the newly created shape layers can now be linked to control layers.
Anubis
As easily as Overlord sends shapes into After Effects, render out MP4s with Anubis. Automatic path and file naming and the cleanest video files you've ever seen on the web.
