Shift Selected Layers:

  • Shifts all selected layers in time by the same amount. You can shift by a fixed amount of time, or have the first in-point/last-out point of the selected layers jump to the current time marker.

Stagger Selected Layers:

  • Staggers selected layers in time, offsetting each layer by a fixed amount of frames or seconds. Layers can be staggered starting from the current time marker, or the offset can be added to each layer’s current time. Layers are sequenced in the order that you select them, so be aware of this when you’re shift-selecting groups of layers.

    • Hi!
      Is these scripts free or not? I can’t find the Download link! If your site is not free, could you tell me a free useful AE Scripts site? because the where I am E-Shop is not available! :(

      Thanks

      • Hi Angelina,
        Most of the scripts are “name your own price” and can be downloaded for free. Click the “Add to cart” button at the top of the page, change the amount to 0, then click the ‘Update Cart’ button. Finally, click ‘Checkout’ to get a download link for the script.

    • I would like to say thank you very much for what you’re doing and the way you do it. I downloaded your script here for free, and think it’s pretty cool that I can do that. I find it very respectable as it allows very poor persons like myself to try out some cool things anyway, and intend to make a donation in the near and more employed future. Very cool stuff you’ve got here. Much thanks.
