Raster painting, layered animation, and 23 curated brushes inside After Effects.
v1.0.0BrushBox is a raster painting panel for After Effects. It is built for painted passes, frame accents, rough animation details, matte fixes, and texture work that needs to stay close to the comp.
Open BrushBox from Window > Extensions > BrushBox. Dock it beside the comp when you want the panel to behave like part of the shot workspace.
Keep sketch, colour, cleanup, and highlight work on separate layers until the comp is ready. It makes small fixes much less expensive.
23 curated built-in brushes for sketching, inking, painting, dry media, washes, blending, and texture.
Separate sketch, ink, colour, shadow, highlight, and cleanup passes.
Paint across frames for smear drawings, boiling details, animated accents, and shot-specific roughs.
Commit painted artwork back into After Effects as footage when the pass is ready.
Save BrushBox sessions with project metadata, frames, and layer PNGs.
Map Photoshop ABR, Procreate brushset, and Clip Studio SUT files into BrushBox's engine.
BrushBox manages the linked PNG or image-sequence files in the project folder, so sending work to AE does not require a manual export-and-import round-trip.
BrushBox is a one-time purchase for one machine, with free v1.x updates. Deactivate the current machine before moving the licence.
