Saves multi-layer animation setups as Snaps in After Effects and blends between them.

What SnapKey does

SnapKey lets animators capture the state of a complex setup across several layers as a single Snap. You can recall one later or mix between several saved states, which suits pose switching and testing alternatives.

The tool works with your existing project structure and keeps the captured poses within the comp itself. Iteration happens right in the composition, so trying variations, building motion systems or switching looks doesn't require duplicating work.
