This script displays a dialog box for pre-composing one or more layers (like the built-in Pre-compose dialog box), but adds the ability to trim the pre-comp to the selected layer’s duration, with optional trim handles.

Simplifies the workflow between Mocha and After Effects. More precisely, it helps you send your footage to Mocha and then to apply the Mocha tracking data back in After Effects in whatever way you want.

Un-PreCompose allows you to quickly and easily extract all of the layers out of a nested composition and place them into the parent composition while maintaining all the effects and other properties.

Smart Precomposer allows you to do a “precompose and leave all attributes” on text and shape layers, which After Effects otherwise doesn’t allow. What’s more, Smart Precomposer allows you to precompose any type of layer and selectively move some attributes into the new precomp, while leaving the rest in the original comp.

Crop nested compositions to fit the image contents. Useful in cases like Photoshop imports where precomps are created as document size.

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