Smoke and mirrors, fire and brimstone: all in a single 3D surface generator
Words dissolve into sand, logos catch fire, and water droplets ripple to bass guitar. All of this is possible with a single powerful plug-in that generates animated 3D shapes to mesmerize and entice viewers. Choose from 61 customizable presets, or tweak your own to get just the look you want. Full integration with After Effects' 3D environment allows you to fly cameras through and around your animated forms.

Trapcode Form runs only in After Effects.

Audio reactors
Form offers built-in audio reactors where the bass beat, a tambourine hit or a lilting voice track can drive the motion, color, opacity, displacement and other variables to generate mind-blowing visuals.

Powerful presets
Presets offer an easy starting point for novices and motion graphics professionals alike. The 61 presets are divided into five categories, including animation set to audio, flight presets that generate 3D terrain flyovers, and unique animations perfect for lower third titles.

Customize it
Form also offers fantastic flexibility with ability to drive color, displacement, size and more with images sourced from any layer in After Effects. This features lets you generate everything from a logo that blows away like sand to a full 3D model of the Earth.
