Description

Split layers using their layer markers, or add markers at cut points to assist comp navigation.

HOW TO USE:

1. ADD MARKERS AT CUTS: Adds layer markers at the in/out points of any layers in a composition. This can help with timeline navigation as you can jump between edit points using the J and K keys. It can also make frame selections suitable for pt_ContactSheet.

Choose from the following options, then click Apply to add layer markers.

  • Based On: Choose whether layer markers are based on in and/or out points.
  • Add To: Choose whether markers are added to a new solid layer, any selected layers or to nested comp layers. Markers are only added if within a layer's in/out points.

2. SPLIT LAYERS AT MARKERS: Similar to After Effects' built-in Split Layers feature, this will split selected layers into multiple layers, adding cuts wherever there are layer markers.

  • Add layer markers on the frames you want to split.
  • Choose if the split layers will be stacked upwards or downwards, and keep their layer markers.
  • Select the layers and click Apply.
