Creation Effects’ Micro kit for After Effects allows users to create realistic microscopic animations.
We’ve all likely seen the microscopic aesthetic in animation. In Adobe After Effects, creating a believable microscopic animation could be tedious, especially if it’s not the focus of your shot.
A new kit from the folks at Creation Effects allows users to create microscopic animations in After Effects with the right look, animation, and effects.
Micro for After Effects.
Micro helps you recreate what scientists see under a microscope. The AE kit lets you choose things like species and control how it will move and behave. You can drop in a microorganism, and instantly generate an entire colony—each organism will have its own random, realistic movements.
The kit comes with a host of viruses, amoebas, parasites, bacteria, DNA, atoms, worms, germs, and sperms. You can also use your custom microbic creation and use the kit to bring it to life.
The Micro kit comes with animations that depict self-replicating, multiplication, attack, and other commonly seen actions under a microscope.

Micro is for Ae 2019 and above, learn more here. The kit features:
- 122 organisms or microscopic elements – Videos and images, most with transparent backgrounds, including bacteria, paramecium, parasitic worms, algae, protozoa, amoebas, DNA, coronavirus, and special appendages/bodily features.
- Create Your Own Microbe – Draw its shape, fill it with floating particles, and add internal organs or appendages. The included effects make it wiggle and swim.
- 9 Action Presets – pre-made animations with various microbial behaviors, as seen in the demo video. Easily swap out microorganisms or particles.
- – Assemble (organisms come together in cluster, or surround another object)
- – Scatter (organisms disperse from cluster)
- – Attack / Eat (with a predator and prey)
- – Die (shrivels and tears its membrane, with contents spilling out)
- – Divide (self-replicate/binary fission)
- – Flow Along Path (such as through a vein)
- – Inject (such as fertilization by needle)
- – Two Multiply options (population explosion through self-replication)
- Custom Movement – Easy-to-use controls for customizing realistic swimming behavior for one or more microorganisms.
- Environment – 24 high-res textures to use as backgrounds or to add microscopic debris to your scene.
- Finished Comps From Demo – all animations from the video above are included, and completely customizable.
- Custom Camera Actions – Imitate a microscope with automatic focus changes, wobbles, and realistic panning to follow moving organisms.
