Reviews

Used by real designers

★★★★★

"I use Liquid Glass whenever I need to present concepts to clients. The glass effect instantly makes UI mockups and presentations look premium — clients see the quality before a single pixel is designed. Saves time and looks more convincing than anything I was building manually."

"As a filmmaker I need my motion graphics to look premium without spending hours in AE. Liquid Glass Script delivers exactly that — one click and the glass effect is production-ready. I dropped it straight into a commercial video and the client loved it."

What it does

Built for real production

Not a one-trick effect. A proper system designed for how motion designers actually work.

4-Layer Glass System

Body, highlight, inner glow and reflection — all generated and linked automatically. Change one null, everything updates.

Non-Destructive

Works on any layer type — shape, text, footage, pre-comp. Your original layer is never modified. Remove the effect any time.

Null Controller

Every parameter — blur, opacity, tint, corner radius — exposed on a single controller null. Keyframe it like any other property.

Batch Apply

Select multiple layers and apply the glass effect to all of them in one click. Consistent results, zero manual work.

Any Language

Uses matchName internally — not UI labels. Works in English, German, Japanese, Spanish, or any other AE language version.

FAQ

Common questions

Liquid Glass Script is compatible with After Effects 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025 on both Mac and Windows. It uses matchName references internally, so it works regardless of which version you are on.
Yes — this is one of the key advantages of Liquid Glass Script. Most After Effects scripts break in non-English language versions because they search for effect names by their localised UI label. Liquid Glass Script uses matchName identifiers which are always in English regardless of the application language. It works correctly in German, French, Japanese, Spanish, Korean and any other AE language version.
After purchase, Payhip sends a download link to your email. Download the .jsx file. To install: copy it to Applications/Adobe After Effects [version]/Scripts/ScriptUI Panels/ on Mac, or C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe After Effects [version]\Support Files\Scripts\ScriptUI Panels\ on Windows. Restart After Effects and find the script under the Window menu. You can dock it like any native panel.
No plugins required. Liquid Glass Script uses only built-in After Effects effects — Fast Blur, Displacement Map, and standard layer styles. It works on a fresh After Effects installation with no third-party tools installed.
The script works on any rectangle shape layer. It automatically reads the layer's size, position and corner roundness and builds the glass system to match. Change the corner radius on the base shape and all glass layers update automatically through expressions.
Yes. The script creates new layers — it never modifies your original layer. To remove the glass effect, simply delete the generated layers. Your original shape or footage layer is untouched.
Yes. Every update to Liquid Glass Script is free for existing customers. Payhip notifies you when a new version is available and you can re-download from your Payhip library at any time.
Yes. Liquid Glass Script includes a commercial licence. You can use the generated glass effects in client work, commercial videos, paid advertising and any other commercial project. No attribution required.
There is no free trial version. You can watch the full demo video on this page to see exactly what the script does before purchasing. The video shows the complete workflow — from selecting a layer to the finished glass effect.
Liquid Glass Script builds a 4-layer glass morphism effect on any layer type — shape, text, or footage. It is designed for general glass effects across any motion design context. The SaaS Panel Kit generates a 7-layer glass panel system specifically designed for UI mockups and SaaS product animations — it includes displacement, rim light, glow and outline layers, plus a rig null for easy repositioning. If you need both, the bundle includes both scripts at a reduced price.
