After Effects script that pushes an audio layer through every comp so you can time animation anywhere.

What Universal Audio does

Universal Audio, by Steve Lewis, solves a common problem in nested After Effects projects: the audio you animate to isn't visible inside precomps. One button sends the audio through all your comps, giving you a reference and markers wherever you work.

KBar support comes with icons and buttons for universalize, refresh, remove, options and view. An optional visual reference can be positioned, such as in the centre, the panel layout adapts to its size, and a progress dialog appears while it runs. It supports After Effects from CS3 through 2026.

Key features

  • Pushes audio through all comps

  • Optional visual reference placement
  • CS3 through 2026
