ChronoKeys

Syncs keyframes to layers and precomps in After Effects and nudges, aligns and staggers keys.

What ChronoKeys does

ChronoKeys is a Freshmograph script that links keyframe timing to layer duration in After Effects. Changing the length of a layer or precomp while keeping keyframe precision is awkward, and this script handles it.

Multiple sync methods and modes are provided, with Ripple Nudge and CTI Nudge to shift keyframes and neighboring layers. Keyframes can be colorized, precomps retimed, auto extended and duplicated, and keys aligned, staggered or equally spaced. Retiming can be set in frames or percent, and a settings panel controls behavior. Animators who juggle timing across compositions will appreciate it.
