You can’t get much easier than this! Pre-animated, sometimes looping, customizable Fake User Interface assets, as editable After Effects comps. Just browse and generate editable AE comps using the Script UI panel, then customize parameters via expression controllers to make it your own. The pack contains zero assets, and only uses shape layers, masks and native AE plugins, so you can customize pretty much anything you like.

Just drag PQ FUI Toys 2.jsxbin file to the Scripts>ScriptUI Panels folder, then open After Effects, where you’ll see PQ FUI Toys listed under the ‘Window’ menu. You can then dock PQ FUI Toys anywhere in your interface.
