Primary Keyphrase: layer in out script

Description:
Download InOut v1.0 for After Effects on Windows and Mac, a simple yet powerful script that manages your layer in/out points and trims multiple layers simultaneously. This essential tool streamlines timeline organization by letting you adjust, align, and clean up layer timing with just a few clicks .

InOut provides two primary functions for efficient layer management. The “Trim” button lets you select layers and trim them all to the same duration as the last selected layer—perfect for batch-processing multiple layers to consistent lengths . The “Remove” button deletes selected layers entirely while preserving all other elements in your composition .

Version 1.0 Key Features:

• Batch Trimming: Select multiple layers and trim them all to match the duration of your last selected layer—maintains consistent timing across groups of layers
• One-Click Layer Removal: Delete selected layers instantly while leaving the rest of your composition intact
• Intelligent Selection Logic: Works intuitively with your current layer selection for precise control
• Time-Saving Workflow: Eliminate manual trimming of individual layers for faster timeline management
• Clean Interface: Simple, focused design that integrates seamlessly into your workspace

Perfect For:

• Motion graphics artists cleaning up timelines and organizing layer durations
• Editors needing to quickly trim multiple layers to consistent lengths
• Anyone tired of manually adjusting individual layer in/out points
• Studios wanting efficient batch layer management tools

Easily animates property transitions In and Out, without keyframes.

InOut lets you animate any property In and Out without a single keyframe. The effect is based on the layer’s inPoint and outPoint adjust their duration and position freely in the timeline, and everything will follow automatically.

Position, scale, rotation, opacity…
With just a few clicks, apply fully customizable and dynamic transitions using a clean interface that gives you quick and easy control over values, animation, and interpolations.

No more complex expressions InOut gives you full control over your transitions directly from the effect panel, making it the perfect solution for templates and essential properties.

Smart UI Panel

Effect Panel
Options and effect application

Interpolation Panel
Quick setup of IN and OUT effect interpolation.

Values Panel
Quick setup of IN and OUT effect property values.

Animation Modes

Slider Mode
The duration and offset of transitions are controlled via sliders in the effect. This mode offers fast and precise handling of durations and offsets. Ideal for keeping full control through essential properties. You can shift the animation using the “Custom Slider” mode with dedicated sliders in the animation section.

Marker Mode
The duration and offset of transitions are controlled via markers applied to the layer. An IN and OUT marker is generated for each selected property, or a global In and Out marker per layer if you hold Shift. Perfect for keeping a clear temporal overview. In this mode, if the “Custom Marker” option is enabled, you must extend the markers manually.

Effect Application

Active Layer
The effects are applied directly to the layer containing the selected properties. It’s fast, straightforward, and perfect for simple or one-off animations.

Controller Layer
A dedicated controller layer is created, and all effects are applied to it. This allows you to centralize all your effects. In some cases, a popup window will appear to name the effect — prefer using a short name. You can rename it later, but it’s not recommended since the prefix “IO |” is used as a tag for adjusting values and interpolations in the dedicated panels, as well as for the reset and delete buttons.

Type of Effect

Per-Property Effect
Each property receives its own individual effect with custom settings. This mode offers personalized control over the animation and interpolation for each property.

Master Effect
Animation and interpolation are controlled through a single centralized effect, with individual controllers for each property value. This allows for centralized control of animation and interpolation across multiple properties.

Keyframe Option

Select 2 keyframes for the In or Out animation, or 4 for both.
InOut automatically detects the values, durations, and timings, and inserts them into the applied effect. A quick and easy way to adjust and apply the effect, with the option to fine-tune it later.
(Keyframe interpolation is not taken into account.)

Interpolations and Values

Interpolations
From the Interpolation panel, you can easily apply presets (Ease, Back, Elastic, Bounce) for In and/or Out, and then fine-tune the interpolation directly within the effect. This helps speed up and simplify the setup process.

Values
The Values panel offers presets for position, scale, rotation, or numeric value changes. You can customize the increment settings in the “Settings” panel.

There is a free trial version available which is usable for 10 days and only has a few limitations:

• Selection limited to 2 properties at once.
• Only one layer can be processed at a time.
