CrossFrame - Design Once for Every Format
Developer: Ciaran Duffy
Builds one master animation in After Effects and adapts it to 16:9, 9:16, 1:1, 4:5 and custom ratios.
What CrossFrame - Design Once for Every Format does
CrossFrame, made by Ciaran Duffy, is a plugin for After Effects aimed at delivering the same animation in several aspect ratios. You design once in a master composition, then preview and switch between 16:9, 9:16, 1:1, 4:5 or custom layouts instead of duplicating comps to resize.
Workspace Overrides let each format be adjusted independently without breaking the master layout. Guides cover TikTok safe areas, caption safe zones and custom margins, a snapshot captures the current frame, and output follows the selected ratio. The interface is meant to feel native to After Effects. It fits motion designers, agencies running multi-platform campaigns, and social content creators.
