Overlord v2.7.0 for After Effects, Photoshop & Illustrator

Overlord 2 by Battle Axe transforms the way motion designers move artwork between Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, Figma, and After Effects. Designed for modern animation workflows, Overlord eliminates the tedious process of exporting, importing, converting, and rebuilding assets manually inside After Effects.

Instead of dealing with broken layers, flattened artwork, or endless cleanup, Overlord creates a direct bridge between your favorite design applications and Adobe After Effects. Shapes, text, gradients, masks, groups, and layer structures transfer instantly while remaining fully editable and animation-ready.

Built for speed and flexibility, Overlord allows artists to send vector artwork directly from Illustrator to After Effects as clean shape layers without losing organization or visual fidelity. Photoshop support introduces editable PSD layer transfers including masks, gradients, text styling, and adjustment layers. Figma integration enables designers to move interface designs and UI components into After Effects with remarkable accuracy and efficiency.

Unlike traditional workflows that rely on file exports and constant revisions, Overlord focuses on live creative iteration. Designers can update artwork rapidly, preserve naming conventions, maintain hierarchy, and continue animating without interruption. This dramatically reduces production time for explainer videos, motion graphics, interface animations, character rigs, broadcast packages, and commercial projects.

Overlord 2 also includes advanced workflow tools such as artboard-to-comp matching, clipping mask support, parametric shape recognition, guide layer transfers, and intelligent gradient handling. Complex Illustrator and Figma compositions become significantly easier to animate inside After Effects.

The latest generation of Overlord was rebuilt with a modern architecture designed for Adobe’s evolving ecosystem, ensuring greater stability, faster communication between apps, and long-term compatibility for professional pipelines.

Compatible with Adobe After Effects CC 2022+, Adobe Illustrator CC 2022+, Adobe Photoshop 2025+, and Figma, Overlord runs on both Windows and macOS with support for Apple Silicon systems.

Whether you are a freelance motion designer, studio artist, UI animator, or creative director, Overlord 2 streamlines the connection between design and animation so you can spend less time preparing files and more time creating stunning motion work.
