With Move Anchor Point Version 3, you can quickly change the anchor point of a layer or group of layers without affecting any of its other properties, even if the layer has keyframes. Move Anchor Point has been redesigned from the ground up in Version 3 to give you more precise control over how and where you can move anchor points. Now you can move them based on the selected objects individually as well as the overall selection. You can also choose to base movements on the composition coordinates.

Video Copilot has released Element 3D, an After Effects plug-in that lets you import and animate 3D models, even as a particle array, and extrude text and mask shapes in real time. It’s useful for all of us, for newbies and old hands & for straight 3D and more abstract experimentation, at least if you have a more recent OpenGL graphics card.

Flicker Free is a powerful new way to deflicker video.
