Imports Clip Studio Paint animations into After Effects, including layer interpretation and animation folders.

What ClipToAE does

ClipToAE, by Conde Pablo, bridges Clip Studio Paint and After Effects for animators who draw in one and finish in the other. It brings animation exported from Clip Studio straight into a composition rather than leaving you to rebuild the layers.

The tool applies layer interpretation to imported files and supports animation folders, and the workflow covers both the export from Clip Studio Paint and the import into After Effects. Version 1.0.1 fixes animation folders that are nested inside regular folders in the timeline. It works with After Effects from CC 2017 up to 2026.

Key features

  • Direct import of Clip Studio Paint animations
  • Layer interpretation on imported files
  • Animation folder support
  • Nested folder fix in version 1.0.1
  • After Effects CC 2017 through 2026
