An After Effects panel for keyframes, layers and anchor points, with linking, interpolation and a favourites system.

What Keystone does

Keystone by Romain Cousin is an After Effects extension that gathers frequent animation chores into one panel. The Anchor section repositions anchor points or creates nulls with a modifier click, aiming at layers, groups, the comp, custom coordinates or the internal anchors of shape and text layers.

A Layers panel links and unlinks keyframes and layers, and temporal and spatial interpolation controls are included. Keyframes can be selected by colour, label shortcuts are available, and KBar support extends to label and link functions. A Favorites system shows only the tools you pick, and the UI adapts with a vertical layout and scaling. Heavy keyframe animators get a tidy workspace.
