The two panels
Create, then refine
PopupLab is built around a simple top-to-bottom workflow: choose what you want to make in the Create panel, then fine-tune the result in the Adjustments panel. The panels open and close automatically based on the selected PopupLab layer, so that the right controls are ready when you need them.

What is PopupLab?
PopupLab helps editors create stylized popups in After Effects faster, without replacing their creativity. You still control the clip, shape, flash style, animation, timing, and final look — PopupLab simply removes the repetitive work so you can create your edits faster.
PopupLab was originally designed to help make my own workflow faster, but after realizing how powerful this tool was, I couldn't keep this to myself. v1 is only the beginning. PopupLab will keep growing with new presets, animations, customization, and feedback from the editing community. Join the Discord to share your work, request features, and help shape what comes next.
