About Pixel Pusher

Pixel Pusher is a script from KiwiVFX for Adobe After Effects that moves selected layers by a defined pixel distance. It includes support for Z‑position adjustments, a multiplier to scale the movement, and configurable keyboard shortcuts that display the active key value. Keyframe support was added in version 1.2.0, and recent updates bring Mac‑specific hotkey fixes, arrow‑button multipliers, and tooltips. The interface now features an About button with documentation links, a dialog that appears when the project panel contains no items, and a check to ensure the selected item is a composition. Compatibility spans After Effects CS5 through the 2024 release, covering both older and current installations. The script is listed as free in this catalog, and a demo video is provided.
