Hi everyone! 
Following up on my previous tool, I want to share another workflow plugin I’ve developed for the community: AE LiveLink Pro.
If you work across Unreal Engine and Adobe After Effects, you know how painful it is to manually match camera movements, export tracking data, or move animations back and forth. AE LiveLink Pro creates a true bidirectional production bridge between UE5 cinematics and AE compositing, allowing you to seamlessly transfer data in seconds.
Unreal Engine 5 ↔ After Effects Ultimate Bridge | AE LiveLink Pro V3.0
Whether you are a VFX artist, motion designer, or working in virtual production, this tool eliminates the guesswork and manual reconstruction of your 3D space.
Core Workflows & Features:
-
True Bidirectional Transfer: Instantly move Cameras, Tracking Points, Object Transforms, and Lights (with physical properties) from UE5 to AE, or import AE comps and animated layers directly back into Unreal Sequencer.
-
Update Existing Comps (Non-Destructive): Re-export UE data into an already existing After Effects comp without destroying your applied AE effects, expressions, layer styles, or manual edits.
-
Complex Camera Rig Support (Industry-First): Confidently export Camera Rig Rails, crane rigs, and multi-parent hierarchies. Powered by a custom quaternion math engine, it handles extreme rotations without gimbal locks.
-
Camera Cut Track & Multi-Sequence: Export multi-camera sequences with exact cut ranges directly to the AE timeline. No manual timeline editing required. You can also batch export multiple Level Sequences in one go.
-
Smart Keyframe Optimization: Compresses redundant baked animation data by up to 97%, eliminating static frames for a lag-free After Effects experience.
-
Timeline Markers Exchange: Sync markers seamlessly between the Unreal Sequencer and After Effects comp markers.
-
UE Planes ↔ AE Solids: Guaranteed 1:1 true spatial loop for perfect 2D/3D compositing.
The plugin is highly optimized and supports Unreal Engine 5.1 through 5.8.

If you use this alongside my other plugin (RenderPass Pro), you get a completely automated render and compositing pipeline.
Let me know if you have any questions about the workflow or feature requests for future versions. Feedback is always welcome!
