BlenderAe2 v2.1.1 for After Effects – Seamless Blender to After Effects 3D Data Transfer

Download BlenderAe2 v2.1.1 for After Effects on Windows and Mac, a powerful Blender add-on that enables seamless bidirectional transfer of 3D data and objects between Blender and Adobe After Effects. Streamline your 3D/VFX workflow by effortlessly integrating your Blender creations, including complex physics simulations, directly into After Effects without intermediate file exports .

Key Features of BlenderAe2 v2.1.1:

• Bidirectional Data Transfer: Export objects, cameras, lights, vertices, and faces from Blender to After Effects. Import solids, nulls, cameras, and 3D layer transforms from After Effects back into Blender for a true round-trip workflow
• glb (glTF) Quick Exporter: Fast export for After Effects 23.0 and above, ensuring compatibility with modern AE versions
• Layer Synchronization: Sync objects, lights, and cameras without needing to create new layers in After Effects—maintains existing relationships
• Physics Simulation Support: Transfer vertex data from Blender simulations (cloth, ocean, soft & rigid bodies) to nulls in After Effects for advanced visual effects
• Vertex Normal Rotation Support: Maintain advanced 3D data fidelity during transfer for accurate lighting and shading
• Auto-Connect Feature: Simplified connection setup between Blender and After Effects saves time on complex scenes
• Blender Camera Shift X,Y Support: Accurate transfer of camera data including shift values for perfect match moving
• New UI & Extended Compatibility: Updated interface with support as an extension in Blender 4.2 and above
• v2.1.1 Fixes: Resolves slow MacOS imports from After Effects, fixes camera sensor matching issues, and separates world origin alignment functions for clarity
• v2.1.1 Additions: Adds warnings for resolution/framerate mismatches and an “Include Anchor Point Offset” option for accurate layer positioning
• Cross-Platform Support: Works on both Windows and Mac systems

Perfect For:

• Motion graphics artists integrating 3D Blender elements into After Effects compositions
• VFX professionals creating complex scenes requiring both Blender’s power and After Effects’ compositing tools
• 3D artists needing to round-trip cameras and null data for motion tracking and layout
• Anyone who wants to streamline their 3D-to-2D workflow without manual file conversions

System Requirements:

• Adobe After Effects 2025, 2024, 2023, 2022, 2021, 2020
• Blender 4.4, 4.3, 4.2, 4.1, 4.0, 3.6 LTS to 3.0

Notes and Known Issues

• Some modifiers can affect exporting of data.
• Non-planar Faces (in Edit Mode) and non-planar Planes (in Object Mode) are not currently supported.
• If the ‘Ae Path’ field contains a correct path but After Effects is not open, After Effects will open and close without saving.
• A large number of selections, or long frame duration can take a long time to process (particularly for face selections); you can press ‘esc’ to abort the import process.
