Super simple, super quick

With a few clicks, React creates a grid, radial or linear repeater for any layer.

Control the repeats with falloff (circular, linear or box), random or step effectors. Or use all three!

Modes

Position

Change position values with three different modes –

• Relative
• Absolute
• Attract/Repel

Rotation

Rotate your layers with two rotation modes –

• Relative
• Look At

Scale & Opacity

Use the falloff to scale your layers, either uniformly or by individual dimensions.

Change opacity values and create fade effects in your repeater.

Look At Those Features!

Look At Mode

Select Look At from the Rotation mode dropdown and boom, your layers will be facing your target.

Change your target and offset the rotation to get the desired result.

Use with or without falloff controls.

Attract/Repel Mode

Select Attract/Repel from the Position mode dropdown and drag the slider.

Positive numbers push the layers away from the target, negative values pull them towards.

Use with or without falloff controls.

Fine-tune your repeater

Add multiple effectors

More effectors = more fun! Use two or more effectors on a layer to create ripple effects or more complex animations.

Custom easing

After Effects has its own easing options for expressions (linear, ease in & out, ease in, ease out) – but maybe you need more control? Fine-tune your interpolation with React’s custom easing settings.

Works with 3D layers

Although React is primarily for 2D use, you can still use it to affect your repeated layers’ Z position and scale, and its 3D orientation. Just switch the layer’s 3D switch.

The Sticky Modifier

Getting sticky with it

The new Sticky modifier ‘sticks’ output values to the closest multiple of the Sticky modifier’s input number.

(OK, so kinda like rounding numbers, but calling it the ‘Rounding Modifier’ is no fun.)

Have a look here for a more visual explanation.

Works with Text Layers!

Dynamic control

Split text into letters, letters (excluding spaces), words and lines and control them with effectors.

Updates as you type

React will create a text guide layer which is used as a master template for your repeated layers.
