A mystical portal between the apps you use daily

Overlord is the thickening of the aether between the silos of visual creation. It is the unspoken language of the cosmos that breathes life into vision.

Illustrator, Figma and Photoshop all talking to After Effects as if they belonged together all along.

That’s impossible

Unlock a new world of elemental wonder from your art files

Photoshop layers

Transfer what you need with flexible layer stacks, instead of reimporting PSDs and rebuilding as designs change. Create editable AE elements like:

• Adjustment layers
• Masks
  • Clipping
  • Layer
  • Vector
• Layer styles
• Text layers
• Gradients

Figma layers

Based on the original Illustrator layer transfer, building AE layers is now possible from both the web and desktop Figma apps. Frames come into AE like they were designed, and pixel density is calculated on the fly to match the AE comp.

For complex groups (icons, components, etc), Rasterize them down to a single image.

It’s even possible to bring in components as Essential Graphics precomps.

Editable text

Text layers from Photoshop, Illustrator, and Figma now become AE text layers, ready to edit. With per-character styling:

• Kerning
• Color
• Font/weight/style
• Color

Illustrator can even draw text on a path.

Illustrator Gradients

Unlike the standard AI file import (which converts gradients to a grey shape layer), linear and radial gradients build just like you expect them to.

Note: Freeform and mesh gradients cannot be drawn by AE shape layers but you can Rasterize those shapes to a PNG.

Bonus actions

To support layer building, Overlord can also manage:

• Precomping and compiling groups
• Parametric rectangles and ellipses
• Matching artboards and comps
• Clipping masks

And much that was once lost from Illustrator:

• Color swatches
• Guide layers
