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.
It is the manifestation of all that has come before and all the potential branches that could be.
BUY OVERLORD
BUY OVERLORD
Wait. what?
Overlord is an invisible connection between Adobe Illustrator and After Effects. Draw stuff in Ai and send it to Ae as shape layers with a click.
It's really simple because this work is really complicated we could all use a break.
Why don't you talk normal?
I don't know. It's probably insecurity.
Superfast overview

What say you?
An illustrator just forwarded you a disorganized file:
Design_v2_finalFinal_v3.ai
Now you have to start animating.
What do you do?
A)
Import Ai file
After importing you convert vector layers to shape layers, then split them into usable bits, but you mostly have to redraw everything.
B)
Use Overlord
Select what you need in the open Ai file and click to send to Ae as shape layers.
You chose wisely

Overlord unlocks a new world of elemental wonder from your Illustrator files that have never been available in After Effects with the standard .ai file import.
Gradients
Linear and radial gradients are supported for the first time in the history of ever.
No more grey rectangles.
Note: Freeform and mesh gradients cannot be drawn by Ae shape layers.

Editable text
Ai text layers become Ae text layers, ready to edit. Because that just makes sense.

Split layers
Instead of creating rigid layers in Ai, simply select elements to create a new Ae shape layer. Or split all selected groups to layers.
Names also get transferred.

Overlord's underlings
The worlds of creation are joined and it only gets better with collaborators
Rubberhose
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.
