About Effect Remover Pro
Effect Remover Pro is an After Effects extension aimed at motion designers, video editors, and VFX artists who handle complex layer stacks. It scans all selected layers in real time and presents a list of every applied effect. Users can remove a single effect from all selected layers, clear all effects at once, or hide effects without deletion to reduce preview load. A Favorites feature stores frequently used effects—including built-in and third‑party plugins—for instant reapplication. The panel supports an auto‑refresh mode that updates the list as selections change, as well as a manual refresh option. A fast, real‑time search filters the effect list. The tool operates fully offline with no data collection. Compatibility is listed for After Effects version 17.0 and later, and the current version is 1.0.2, released 2025‑12‑11.
