About Version Raptor
Version Raptor is a version‑control utility for Adobe After Effects and Premiere Pro, developed by Hyper Brew. It renames projects, compositions and sequences by incrementing numeric or patterned version identifiers, handling formats such as project‑v01 → project‑v02, comp_0001 → comp_0002, and sequence_v01_JT → sequence_v02_JT. The Deep Versioning feature, added in version 1.2.1, duplicates all child compositions in After Effects or child sequences in Premiere Pro and updates any parent references accordingly, ensuring nested structures stay consistent after a version bump. A standalone .jsx script with icons enables the same functionality through KBar or comparable button‑based tools. Compatibility is listed for After Effects 2025 and 2026 and Premiere Pro 2025 and 2026. A demo video is provided on the developer’s site, and the plugin is marked as free, though licensing terms should be confirmed on the developer’s page.
