About SceneStasher
SceneStasher adds a panel inside After Effects that converts selected layers and keyframes into clickable buttons. Each button acts as a bookmark, recalling a specific point in the timeline when pressed. The tool works across multiple compositions, enabling quick navigation to saved moments while you retime or refine your animation. It supports After Effects 2026, 2025, 2024, and 2023. Version 1.0.1 addressed legacy gray scrollbars that appeared when resizing the panel and improved behavior on macOS. The plugin is distributed through aescripts and is listed as free, though licensing details should be reviewed on the developer’s page.
