Rift

This script provides methods to arrange layers, keyframes or markers horizontally in the timeline.

Some main features Rift provides:

  • Move multiple different properties (in & out points, source start, markers, keyframes) independently of each other.
  • Affect properties and keyframes before, after or in range of the scrubber location.
  • Shift with relative or absolute values.
  • Sequence over a specified time using linear, ease in, ease out, ease both. Affect the strength of non linear eases using the expo field.
  • Stagger by a given offset.
  • Randomize with a range.
  • Smart input fields accept values such as: 1s, 1f, 1m, 1h, 1ms and converts accordingly. Default unit is seconds.

Thanks to Gerald Mark Soto for the before, after feature idea.

Please don’t hesitate to suggest new features.

Rift is part of a collection of scripts made to address Adobe’s neglect of improving core functionality of After Effects.

  1. Michael, i just purchased rift. and am trying to sequence (stagger) keyframes out in time. mask opacity 0-100 , on a single layer with several masks, and cant seem to get it to run. … would totally be a life saver!

      Hey Brian,

      Someone else had actually just requested this too. Look for it in the next version coming out soon.

      Thanks.

    I sugest you to add a new functionality.
    Sort the multiple keyframes of 1 layer, in ascent or descent order. (exactly the same fonction you did for the layer, but this time inside the layer itself)
    Exemple : Multiple Animated Paint keyframe that can now be juxtaposed, in order to make the drawing from step 1 to step X.

    Sure you can do this !
    Thanks for your help and your scripts !!!
