Flat colours can make a title card feel dull, especially for music videos and event promos where shine sells the mood. KO Foil is an After Effects tool, distributed through aescripts, that gives layers a foil style finish. Think of light rolling across a metallic sticker as it moves. Applied to text, shapes or artwork, that shifting sheen adds depth without building a complex stack of gradients and mattes by hand.

Key Features

• Foil style finish for text, shape layers and artwork inside After Effects compositions
• Light response that shifts as layers move, so titles feel alive during animation
• Controls for tuning the shine so the look can stay subtle or go bold and bright
• Works within your normal After Effects workflow, with no external render step
• Handy for logos, packaging mockups, event titles and short social video graphics

FAQs

Does KO Foil work on text layers?

Yes. Text and titles are one of the most common uses, since the foil finish reads clearly on bold lettering and logos.

Do I need other plugins to use it?

No. KO Foil works inside After Effects on its own once installed, alongside the tools you already use.

Can the effect be animated?

Yes. Because the shine responds to movement and its controls can be keyframed, the foil look can evolve across a scene.
