Script Snippets
A copy-ready collection of small After Effects scripts: rename, trim, parent, split, sequence, randomize colors and more. Paste into the console or run as a JSX.
Runs entirely in your browser. Nothing is uploaded.
How to use
- Find the script you need by browsing the categories or searching.
- Read the explanation so you know what it does to the selected layers.
- Press Copy.
- Paste into the ExtendScript console, or save it as a .jsx and use File > Scripts > Run Script File.
Examples
- Rename selected layers tidies a messy comp into Layer_1, Layer_2 and so on in one click.
- Parent selected to a new null rigs a whole group to a controller instantly.
- Split layers at playhead cuts every selected layer at the current time.
Frequently asked questions
How do I run a snippet?
The quickest way is to paste it into the ExtendScript console while After Effects is open. For repeat use, save the text as a .jsx file and run it from File then Scripts then Run Script File.
Are these safe?
They are short and readable, and each wraps its work in an undo group so you can undo with one step. Still, test on a copy of your project first, as with any script.
Is anything uploaded?
No. The snippets live in your browser and nothing leaves your device.
