About DeepCopy
DeepCopy is a one‑click, shortcut‑driven pre‑composition duplicator for After Effects that generates fully independent duplicates. It operates from the Timeline or Project panel and includes any nested compositions in the copies. Optional duplication of source footage and solids keeps each copy separate, and a Preserve Animation option retains original animation. Smart naming, advanced filtering, label color assignment, and automatic folder organization maintain project structure. Version 1.02 improves duplication speed on large projects, reduces expression‑related processing when Update Expressions is off, optimizes layer handling and naming for repeated duplication, and removes an unnecessary warning during filtering. DeepCopy supports After Effects 2026, 2025, 2024, 2023, and 2022.
