Batch process folders of After Effects project and search and replace file paths. This can come in handy if you are moving a project to a different folder structure like a new server. You can also use it to batch replace files in many projects at once.

Loops any layers, footage or comps with one click™

Batch edit all layer marker attributes on selected layers. Also has an option to export the marker to a text file.

Use this tool to queue your comp with the work area set as a custom duration. This way you can set several work areas to one queue and render them all at once.

Rename items project wide in After Effects with as much ease or power as you want.

Creates a parented null for each of the selected layers. The new null can have a custom name defined in the User Variables section and also has the option of including the name of the layer that is parented to it.

Allows quick access to switch between 8, 16 and 32 bits per channel as well as turning the multiprocessing preference on and off. There’s also a version that gives you a button to purge the image caches.

A smart import and batch replace tool that greatly improves the workflow of importing and replacing files especially file sequences and highly nested hierarchies.

Shift selected layers based on a sine curve

Scans footage and removes duplicate frames by setting hold keyframes on the layer’s time-remapping channel.

Randomly shifts the selected layers in time within user defined range.

Converts the expressions in your projects so that they are compatible with After Effects running in any language.

Will send to the render queue any frames that are marked by layer markers that are within the comp work area. This would be equivalent to going to a point in time in your comp and selecting “Save Frame As->File”.

Allows you to render your Render Queue in the background while you can continue working in After Effects. The pro version can also notify you via email, sms or iPhone push notification when your renders are done or have an error plus many other new features.

Will launch a project or template every time your start After Effects. For example, if you have a certain folder/file structure you like to keep for your AE projects, you can setup a virgin project the way you like it and save it as a template by giving it a .aet extension. Now every time you launch AE your custom setup will be automatically loaded.

Duplicates the selected layers and if any of the layers have expressions referencing any of the layers being duplicated it will update the expressions to point to the newly duplicated layers. Might make more sense if you watch the demo :-)

Adds markers, splits a layer or adds a new text layer with incrementing numbers based on audio intensity.

A dockable UI for quickly accessing prefs to speed up After Effects. Change project bit-depth, multiprocessing, and idle rendering. This is the latest CS4 compatible version.

Activates disabled expressions in selected layers or entire comp. A true life saver!

Zorro makes selection and isolation sets easy and possible in after effects by adding tags to layers. Similar to the way you would tag photos in Flickr, you can tag layers in your comps and then select or isolate those layers in groups by using the tags.

Automatically detects edits in footage. Like Magic. Crazy, we know.

Adds a user definable number of frames to the in and out points of the selected layers.

Will render all the items in your render queue, send you an email to let you know the render is done, save an incremental version of your project and shutdown the machine. On Mac you can choose to have the machine sleep instead of shutdown.

Arranges project items into folders based on a matching prefix.

Reverses the direction of selected text layers. Useful for RightToLeft language input.

Rotate photos in your comp based on the orientation xmp metatag

Fits selected layers proportionally to fill the Comp frame by giving you the choice of either cropping or letterboxing.

Rename and number all the markers on selected layers.

This script will execute the “Time-Reverse Keyframes” Keyframe Assistant found under the Animation menu. If you assign a shortcut to this script you can execute this command via the keyboard.

A dockable ui panel that allows quick access to the video preview preferences.
