Motion Studio adds non-destructive shape-layer and keyframe tools, while Boombox Studio brings cueing, replacement and mixing controls into REAPER projects.
Mt. Mograph’s October 2026 software refresh centres on practical workflow gains for motion designers and sound editors, with updates to Motion Studio and Boombox Studio aimed at cutting repetitive work and improving project handling. The release package adds new tools for After Effects users while also extending audio integration for REAPER, reflecting the company’s continued move towards a broader cross-application production workflow. According to Toolfarm’s overview, the emphasis this month is less on headline-grabbing features than on tightening the day-to-day mechanics of creative work.
In Motion Studio v1.2.8, the most notable addition is Merge Shape Layers, which lets users combine multiple shape layers into one while keeping keyframes, expressions and parent links intact. Mt. Mograph says that makes it easier to tidy complex After Effects compositions without breaking the animation structure already in place. The update also adds support for Parametric Mesh Layers, a change that gives designers more room to work with newer mesh-based setups inside current After Effects projects.
The animation cleanup tools have also been refined. Key Clean now includes a tolerance setting, making it easier to strip out unnecessary keyframes more precisely, while the Rename tool has been adjusted to improve layer management in larger projects. Taken together, these changes are aimed at reducing manual housekeeping, which is often a major burden in dense motion graphics timelines. Mt. Mograph’s product notes frame the update as a way to keep compositions organised without interrupting existing motion work.
Boombox Studio v1.2.1 focuses on audio workflow, most notably through new REAPER integration. Users can now add, cue and swap sounds directly from Boombox Studio into REAPER projects, with automatic cue-point alignment and clip replacement designed to preserve timing. The Mixing page now also pulls in REAPER sounds, allowing users to manage project audio from a single interface. That consolidation is intended to help animators and sound designers move more quickly between sound selection, placement and mixing, while the company has also added interface refinements and improved User Pack importing to make library handling less cumbersome.
