About Stratify

Stratify provides layer offsetting in After Effects, supporting traditional offsets and pattern‑based staggering that uses comp position. The Sortify mode consolidates layer organization into a compact interface, while additional modes include stagger, sequencing, Select Order, and Reflect group. A random offset engine can offset an entire layer, its in‑point only, or its out‑point only, using a default Force Range distribution that assigns each layer a unique offset value. Proximity sort arranges selected layers by relative distance, grouping layers that share a position and placing a null at the top of each group. ALT‑based copy/paste inverts staggering data, and Shift‑based sequencing starts from the last layer in a selection. Compatibility spans After Effects 2020 through 2026.
