Learn how to search, preview, and download Adobe Stock assets directly from the Adobe Stock panel in Adobe After Effects.
About the Adobe Stock panel
The Adobe Stock panel brings Adobe Stock search directly into After Effects. Before this panel, finding Stock content meant either searching through the Libraries panel or manually downloading assets from your browser.
With the panel open, you can search the full Adobe Stock library, preview images, videos, audio, and templates, and bring them into your project without leaving the app.
Search and preview Adobe Stock assets
Type a keyword in the search field.
Select a thumbnail to preview the asset.
Download an asset to your project
Select the asset you want to use. Images, videos, and audio files download directly to your Project panel. Templates (.mogrt and .aet files) save to a folder on your device instead, and you can choose where that folder lives.

Choose where downloaded assets are saved
By default, downloaded assets are saved to the same location After Effects uses for temporary files when rendering previews. To keep them separate, you can save your downloads somewhere else instead, such as a dedicated project folder or a drive with more space.
Select File > Project Settings.
Select the Scratch Disks tab.
Set a location for stock downloads.
