About Add Time
Add Time is an After Effects script that injects time into a project at any level. It moves keyframes, adjusts composition durations, and extends layer endpoints, and it can also subtract time. Markers for added time appear in green, while markers for subtracted time appear in red. A toggle lets you ignore locked layers, and there is a separate option to ignore guide layers. You can work in frames or in time, and the interface is text‑based. Version 1.1.1 supports After Effects 2026, 2025, 2024, 2023, and 2022, and includes bug fixes for subtracting time, as well as restored ignore‑layer functionality. A demo video is provided.
