Create a Responsive Browser Inside After Effects
The Browser UI Template is an After Effects template that lets you quickly add your design and animate a fully responsive web browser inside After Effects.
Step 1 - Set Width & Height
In the BROWSER UI comp, select the BROWSER layer and access the Browser Controls effect to configure window dimensions in pixels. Both settings support keyframing. The "View Size" text updates dynamically to show the visible CONTENT comp dimensions within the browser viewport.
Step 2 - Adjust Content Settings
The Browser Controls panel includes:
Scroll -- Controls content scroll distance as a percentage and manages scroll bar visibility. Requires the CONTENT comp height to exceed "View Size" height and Vertical Constraints set to Top.
Horizontal Constraints -- Positions CONTENT comp to left, center, or right.
Vertical Constraints -- Positions CONTENT comp to top, center, or bottom.
Hide Scroll Bar -- The scroll bar auto-hides when CONTENT comp height doesn't exceed "View Size" or constraints aren't set to Left/Top.
Step 3 - Change URL Text
Double-click the URL text layer to edit it; the adjacent lock symbol repositions automatically.
Step 4 - Add Content
Open the CONTENT comp and adjust dimensions via Composition Settings as needed. Delete the View Size layer and modify or remove the BACKGROUND layer's fill color.
Step 5 - Adjust Scale, Scroll & Shadow
Return to the BROWSER UI comp to view your content. Scale the BROWSER layer to proportionally resize everything. Keyframe Scroll % if content height permits. Customize shadow settings under Browser Controls > Shadow Settings.
