“Ok, X-Ray is incredible. It's so fast to generate.”
-Jake Bartlett
X-Ray is the ultimate behind the scenes tool for After Effects. It instantly scan all comps & precomps with one click, revealing iconic layer controls.
In a world of AI generation, Fiverr knockoffs, and low-quality slop, the only thing that matters is your process. What you made isn't nearly as important as showing how you made it.
Make viral process videos.
It is a scientific fact that process videos are more fun, and get more views, than the actual work. X-Ray understands this and generates customizable overlays that represent your blood, sweat, and tears (mostly tears).
In one click.
Keep your precomps.
Unlike out-dated screen recording methods, X-Ray runs once on your main composition and scans infinite precomps deep. And unlike your co-workers, it doesn't judge how you've laid out your file.
One run on the main comp
Every nested precomp, any depth
Overlays follow as you play
Edit it live.
Every visualization has its own toggle, scale, and color. Change it in the panel and the comp updates while you watch. Set a path range, push the global scale, and X-Ray redraws in place.
Motion path, frame dots, keyframe squares
Current-frame marker and bounding box
3D axes gizmo with per-axis colors
Turn your process into art.
The overlays are yours to dress up. Recolor every viz from the panel. Stack glow, grain, chromatic split. Whatever you want to do.
Recolor paths, dots, and gizmos
Stack effects on the overlay layers
Delete it all with one button when you're done
It works on literally anything.
Shapes, nulls, solids, text, footage, adjustment layers. Parented rigs. Cameras. Skip locked and shy layers if you want. X-Ray reads the comp you're in and draws what's there.
