SpeakEasy:
Captions for After Effects

Import caption files right within After Effects and instantly create timed captions as text layers or Essential Graphics layers. Create your own styles or choose from our presets.

About the script:

SpeakEasy finally allows you to work with captions in After Effects.

How it works:

  • ✅ Import your .SRT subtitle file into After Effects (these can be exported from Premiere)
  • ✅ Edit any subtitles you need to via the SpeakEasy Panel
  • ✅ Choose a text layer or / Essential Graphics comp for the caption style
  • 💡 You can also choose a different style for individual captions
  • ✅ Hit the create layers button and all the captions are created at the right times for you.

Includes 10 Caption Styles (Some are pictured below and more are coming soon!)

Use one of the 10 caption styles to start making captions right away!

Also includes a MoGRT helper for creating your own caption styles!

You can just use any motion graphics template / essential graphics comp as a caption style.

But to make sure your animations are timed to the captions, you need to add a few extra steps.

That's why SpeakEasy includes a MoGRT helper that will create an Essential Graphics comp ready for you to modify.

This helper comp includes a text layer with a couple of Text Animators that are all linked up via expressions so that your animations will be timed to your captions. All you have to do is add your styles!

More ways SpeakEasy can help you:

SpeakEasy goes beyond captions.

Let's say you have an explainer video that uses a lot of on-screen text within the design.

Rather than creating all the layers and styles manually, now you can simply define the style using essential graphics and use a Subtitle file to create all the text layers of your project in moments.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Is this for Premiere?

Nope, just After Effects!

Can I create my own caption styles?

Yes! SpeakEasy allows you to use any essential graphics comp or text layer as the style for your captions.

You can either set things up manually, or use the MoGRT Helper in the panel to quickly create a new text layer style that will be timed to your captions.

Frequently Asked Questions about the licence

Where is my licence key?

Your licence key is sent to you via email. It is also available via the script's product page in your Lemon Squeezy Orders.

Why do I keep being asked to provide my licence key?

Each licence allows you to use the script on a set number of workstations. For example: the solo licence allows you to use the script on two workstations at a time.

If you or someone else tries to use the script on a third computer then the first person who registered the script will be logged out and you will need to provide the key again.

If you need access to the script from more than two workstations either purchase another individual licence, or subscribe to a team licence.

My licence key isn't working

Please try all of the following before sending an email:

  1. Make sure you're inputting the full and exact licence key without any extra spaces at the start or end.
  2. Please check you are actively connected to the internet.
  3. Try temporarily disabling any firewalls or anti-virus software. Remember to re-enable them afterwards.
  4. If you're still having trouble please email: [email protected]
