What it does

Everything you wished AE had built-in.

⚡

Instant Layer Overview

See every text layer in your comp in one scrollable list — index, name, content preview, and status at a glance.

🔍

Live Search & Filter

Type to instantly filter by layer name or text content. Find that one subtitle in a 200-layer comp in under a second.

↔

Bulk Text Replace

Find & Replace across every text layer — or only selected ones. Case-sensitive optional. Full undo support.

🔤

Apply Font & Color

Change font family, size, and fill color across multiple selected layers simultaneously. Brand updates done in one shot.

👁

Visibility & Solo Controls

Show all, hide all, solo selected, lock/unlock — bulk controls that AE's own UI makes painfully slow.

↕

Smart Sorting

Sort layers by timeline index, layer name, or text content alphabetically. Your workflow, your order.

What users say

Trusted by motion designers worldwide.

★★★★★

"I used to spend 20 minutes changing fonts across a project. Now it takes 10 seconds. This script paid for itself on the first use."

Alex K.

Senior Motion Designer, Berlin

★★★★★

"The search feature alone is worth $29. Finding a specific text layer in a 150-layer comp used to be a nightmare. Not anymore."

Sarah M.

Freelance Video Editor, NYC

★★★★★

"Bulk replace across all text layers is a game changer for template work. Updated 200+ comps in minutes instead of hours."

FAQ

Common questions.

Which version of After Effects do I need?

Text Layer Manager works with After Effects CC 2019 (16.x) and all newer versions including the latest 2025 release.

How do I install it?

No installer needed. Go to File → Scripts → Run Script File, select the .jsx file, and the panel opens immediately. To dock it permanently, copy the file to your ScriptUI Panels folder and restart AE.

Is there a free trial?

Yes! Download the script and use it free for 7 days with all features. Bulk operations are limited to 5 layers during trial. Buy a license to unlock unlimited use.

Does it work with RTL / Hebrew / Arabic text?

Yes. The script operates on the Source Text property directly, so it fully supports any language including right-to-left scripts.

Will bulk font changes break my keyframes?

The script uses full undo group wrapping — Ctrl+Z / Cmd+Z will revert all changes in a single operation. Keyframes on properties other than Source Text are untouched.

Can I use this on client projects?

Absolutely. One license covers unlimited personal and commercial projects. No per-project or per-seat fees.

What's your refund policy?

Full refund within 14 days if the script doesn't work as described. No questions asked. Email [email protected].
