How it works

Choose which shapes you want to include in your after effects backgrounds, the size of shape you need, the size of grid to create, and then hit go!

The script will then create a random selection of shapes and place them within your current composition aligned to the grid you specified. There's a slight offset built in to each row to give the pattern the traditional Memphis style. Perfect for creating a unique animated pattern background for After Effects in moments.

In after effects, animated backgrounds can be a great way to add some interest to a scene, and with the Memphis script it takes just seconds to create a unique shape background design.

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]
