Sidequest Plugins

We've refreshed our brand: SideQuest Plugins is now Sidequest Plugins. Same team, same tools, same focus on saving motion designers time - just a cleaner, more consistent name across the site, the docs, and everything we ship. You'll see the new spelling everywhere from today.

And we didn't stop at the logo. Here's a roundup of the latest AE Sheets features that just landed.

What's new in AE Sheets

  • Grid Packer: Lay out any set of comps into a single tidy grid composition, so you can review every language version or variant of your project side by side at a glance. No more clicking through comps one by one.
  • Line break control: Decide how line breaks inside your text layers behave when you copy or export text, so your copy round-trips cleanly into spreadsheets and back into After Effects without rows splitting unexpectedly.
  • Find & Replace: Search and swap text across every text layer in your chosen scope in one pass - perfect for fixing a recurring typo or updating a product name everywhere, all undoable in a single step.
  • Custom translation instructions: Add your own guidance to every AI translation, so you can lock in the right tone, keep brand names intact, and give the AI project-specific context for consistent results.
  • Telemetry transparency: Our Data & Privacy page now spells out exactly what we collect - only anonymous usage and crash data. Your project content, layer text, and license key never leave your machine.

Try them out

All of these are available now in AE Sheets. Check out the full documentation to dig into each feature, and head to sidequestplugins.com to get the tools.

As always, if you have questions or feedback, we'd love to hear from you.

Happy animating!
