What It Does
Backgrounds 2 is a pack of loopable animated backgrounds for use in Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects. Each background ships with multiple ready-made variations and a range of color presets, giving you a solid starting point without requiring you to build anything from scratch. All backgrounds are fully adjustable if you want to take them further.
Note: this product has been discontinued as a standalone purchase. Access is now available through a Mister Horse subscription plan at misterhorse.com.
Key Features
Ready-made variations and color presets. Each background comes with several variations and color preset options, so you can drop one in and move on, or use a preset as a starting point for further adjustments.
Loopable backgrounds. All assets loop cleanly, making them practical for titles, lower thirds backdrops, social content, or anywhere you need a background that runs indefinitely.
Premiere Pro placement via MOGRTs. In Premiere Pro, backgrounds are placed to your timeline as MOGRT files through the free Premiere Composer plugin. Adjustments are made directly in the Essential Graphics panel.
After Effects native compositions. In After Effects, the pack works with the free Animation Composer plugin. Backgrounds are placed as native compositions, so you can go inside and rework them at the layer level.
Built alongside version 1. All backgrounds in version 2 are new and created from scratch. If you own the original Backgrounds pack, version 2 installs alongside it without overriding anything.
Who It’s For
Motion designers and video editors who regularly need animated backgrounds for title cards, YouTube intros, social media content, or broadcast graphics. The MOGRT-based workflow in Premiere Pro means you can use these without ever opening After Effects, which suits editors who want to stay in their timeline.
Pricing
Backgrounds 2 is no longer sold as a standalone product on aescripts.com. Mister Horse has moved to a single subscription plan that covers all their products, available at misterhorse.com. The free plugins required to use this pack, Premiere Composer and Animation Composer, remain free.
