Tutorial: Export an Animated WEBP Straight Out of After Effects

After Effects has no built-in WEBP output. AEJuice Pack Manager 4 adds it as a one-click item, so an animated composition becomes a small, web-ready file without a second app in the chain.

Pick Export WEBP

Open the tools menu in AEJuice Pack Manager 4 and hover Render. The submenu holds Export Draft, Export GIF, Export MP4, Export PNG, Export WEBP and Speed Check. Click Export WEBP and the render queue takes it from there — no output module setup, no format dialog.

It opens in the browser

When the render finishes, the file opens in your browser and plays. Full motion, alpha-free background, and a fraction of the weight of the equivalent GIF.

Where it fits

  • Web hero animations and landing pages, where GIF is too heavy
  • Email-adjacent and CMS uploads with tight size limits
  • Quick client previews that play anywhere without a video player

Same menu also carries GIF, MP4 and PNG exports, so the format choice is one hover away.
