This script displays a palette with controls for capturing multiple states of a composition’s layer settings, and quickly recalling any of them at a later time. You can capture and switch among up to 6 states of layer features, specifically a layer’s selection, A/V Features settings, and Switches settings.

To store the selected composition’s layer state, select the layer features from the Layer Features to Capture list, and then click the upward-pointing arrow corresponding to one of the six State buttons.

To recall a previously stored composition layer state, select the ‘target’ composition in the Project panel, and then click the State button corresponding to the state you want to apply. The maximum number of layers affected is determined by the lower number of layers in the recalled state or in the current composition.
