Requirements

  • After Effects 2022 or newer
  • macOS or Windows with CEP extensions enabled
  • A ZXP installer such as the free ZXP/UXP Installer

Install Steps

  1. Download the latest Noted .zip from the Motion Fun site.
  2. Extract the archive to reveal the .zxp file.
  3. Open your ZXP installer.
  4. Drag the .zxp into the installer and complete the install.
  5. Restart After Effects.

Open Noted

In After Effects, go to Window > Extensions > Noted.

You should see the empty state with an “Add a note” button. Click it to create your first note and confirm the panel is working.

You can dock the panel alongside your other panels or leave it floating. Noted adapts its density and padding to the available space.

Updating

Install updates the same way: download the new .zip, extract the .zxp, install over the existing version, and restart After Effects.

Your notes are stored in the project file and on disk, so updating does not delete them.
