After Effects Keyframe Velocity Changer Script Can Affect Multiple Keyframes at Once

One of my most vocal criticisms about After Effects has been the fact that all windows and dialog boxes are modal ones. Meaning that while you are interacting with that window, everything else in the application cannot be used until you dismiss that window.

Coming from an environment like Maya, where all windows are non-modal, you realize what an affect on workflow modal windows actually are. Not only can you Not have the window open for short-term task work, but you can’t have the window affect multiple selections (or modify your selections) while it is up and in use.

This can lead to a premise where sadly, a large percentage of After Effects scripts simply place a common command into a floating and dockable panel. Not that it is a completely bad thing as there is usually more functionality added – but it can be avoided by allowing for non-modal windows within the application.

Keyframe Velocity Changer: Select and Affect Multiple Keyframes

A new, helpful and entirely useful script Keyframe Velocity Changer is doing just that. The Keyframe Velocity Changer allows you to dock the attributes of the standard AE Keyframe Velocity window for easy reference, but also ads some great features to it, such as saving velocity settings into presets.

Its creator Tyler Swanson, has given Ae users the ability to have the keyframe velocity window up all the time, allowing you to manipulate multiple keyframes all at once, even across multiple layers.

With the Keyframe Velocity Changer you can save or delete your preset values for velocities that you are using all the time. You can even export your preset list so you can use them on other machines.

Keyframe Velocity Changer Features

• Modify velocity on multiple keys on multiple layers at once
• Save presets of different velocity settings
• Export the presets file to Dropbox to sync across computers
