xCloner is an effect plugin for Adobe After Effects that clones any layer, from video and images to shape layers and text, far faster than copying layers by hand. Motion designers use it to build patterns, arrays and animated sequences from a single element, then adjust the whole set with shared controls. As an effect inside After Effects, it stays quick even with a few thousand clones in a composition.

Key Features

  • Five cloning modes covering linear, radial, grid, path and object layouts
  • Clone video, images, shape layers, text and vector layers
  • Path mode spreads clones along masks with count, distance or vertex spacing
  • Object mode places clones from the alpha or luma of a source layer
  • Alpha and luma driven time that shows different frames across a matte
  • Up to 20 custom layers with their own transform and blending settings

How to Download

  1. Open the official product page: Download from the official site and buy a license.
  2. Download the installer from your account and run it on your Mac.
  3. Restart After Effects, apply xCloner to a layer, and pick a cloning mode to begin.
