copy fx + keyframes

🚀 The Intelligent Copy Tool

This powerful and easy-to-use tool is designed to supercharge your workflow by copying and applying complex animations (keyframes) across multiple layers in After Effects.

✨ What It Does

The script allows you to take the animation from one layer (the Source Layer) and instantly apply it to one or more layers (the Target Layers). Its most important feature is that it automatically adjusts the speed and timing of the animation to perfectly fit the duration of the target layer. If the Target Layer is longer, the animation will be stretched; if it is shorter, it will be compressed.

🎯 Key Features

• Simple Selection Menu: An initial panel lets you choose exactly what you want to copy:
• All Properties: Copies all Transform animations, Effects, and Masks.
• Basic Transformations: Select individual properties like Position, Scale, Rotation, Opacity, and Anchor Point.
• Effects: The tool scans the source layer and presents you with a list of all applied effects.
• Masks (Advanced functionality).
• Effect Management: If you choose to copy Effects, the tool provides a clear list of every effect present on the Source Layer. Effects that are already animated (with keyframes) are highlighted and automatically checked for your convenience.
• Precise Animation Copy: It doesn't just copy values; it transfers all the animation details, such as the speed curve (the keyframe easing) and the spatial paths, ensuring that the movement looks identical, only adjusted to a different timeline scale.
• Fast Workflow: Simply select your Source Layer (the first one) and your Target Layers. The script handles the tedious work of copying and pasting multiple keyframes and adjusting their timing for you.

💡 Benefits

• Massive Time Savings: Avoid manually copying and readjusting hundreds of keyframes for layers with different durations.
• Consistency: Ensure that the same animation patterns and effects are perfectly synchronized, regardless of the target layer's start time or duration.
• Full Control: You decide exactly which properties to copy via the selection menus.
