imgPaster for After Effects is an innovative extension that improves the process of importing images to your projects. While it is not challenging to paste pictures from the clipboard, this new extension has cut the time it took to allow after-effects access images on your clipboard; this includes allowing PS to open transparent pictures in PNG format automatically.
