Creates 1920x1080, 1080x1080, and 1080x1920 compositions for each selected footage item and fits the footage inside them.
Adds "posterizeTime(0);" to the beginning of all selected properties' expressions, ensuring efficiency when using static expressions.
Automatically adds selected precompositions within an active composition to the Render Queue.
Batch changes the frame rate of all compositions in the project.
Batch edit properties of effects across one or more compositions selected in the project panel.
Changes the font of text layers throughout the project, including nested compositions.
Removes all keyframes from selected properties across multiple layers.
Deletes all items in the Render Queue with a single click, keeping your project tidy.
Batch converts selected text layers to point text.
Counts the number of selected items in the Project Panel and displays the result in the Info Panel, providing quick project insights.
A dockable UI to count the selected items in the project panel.
Automatically creates a structured folder hierarchy in your project, including subfolders for inputs, precomps, and outputs.
Converts one or more selected text layers into Solids with Masks.
Converts one or more selected Text layers into Shape layers.
Disable a given effect in the selected compositions.
Removes all applied effects from selected layers, helping you start fresh with clean layers.
Exports the expressions of the active composition to a .jsx file.
Quickly exports all expressions in the project to files based on the composition.
Exports a list of all missing footage in your project to a text file, making it easier to track and replace missing assets.
Exports the expressions of all selected compositions.
Adds fade-in and fade-out keyframes to the audio levels of selected layers.
Search for a layer by layer name and replace it with another item across compositions.
Locks, activates the "shy" mode, and hides all layers within selected compositions, helping protect complex projects from unwanted edits.
Added or removed an effect and your property objects became invaid? This scriptlet will help you create references to find your lost properties.
Sorts project items, tidying up your project based on the item type.
Pre-composes each selected layer into its own composition, creating one precomp per selected layer while leaving all attributes in the original comp.
Randomize the position of selected layers within a specified range.
Removes unused folders in your project panel.
Removes all expressions from selected layers, allowing you to bulk reset animations or values applied via expressions.
Clears expressions from selected properties only, without affecting entire layers.
Removes masks set to None mode from the selected layers.
Replaces all missing footage in your project with a white solid of the same size, helping you maintain project integrity even when assets are missing.
Replaces selected footage items in the Project Panel with white solids of matching size.
Resets the Transformations (Anchor Point, Position, Scale, Rotation, Opacity) of the selected layers, restoring them to their default states.
Quickly saves the current frame of your composition as a PNG file, stored next to your project file, for easy reference or documentation.
Exports a user-specified frame from selected compositions as PNG files.
Exports a user-specified frame from selected compositions as PSD files.
Saves a new version of the current project file, incrementing the version suffix (e.g., from "_v001" to "_v002"), ensuring that your work is always saved incrementally.
Saves selected compositions in the Project Panel as individual project files, enabling modular project management and easier asset sharing.
Export selected compositions as PNG files for quick previews.
Exports a user-specified frame from selected compositions as both PNG and PSD files.
Selects every other layer starting from the first selected layer, ignoring locked layers, which is useful for quickly modifying or shifting things around.
Sets one mask per selected layer to Add based on selection order and disables the others.
Displays the size and position of the selected layer in the Info Panel, which is useful when developing templates.
Shows the bounding box size for a layer with one or more masks, helping you understand the true dimensions of masked content.
