About AEJuice Duplicate
AEJuice Duplicate is a script for Adobe After Effects that duplicates compositions built from nested comps and produces a fully independent copy of the entire hierarchy. During the duplication process the script updates and automatically relinks expressions so that references point to the new copies rather than the originals. The tool integrates with kBar for users who employ that workflow extension. Compatibility includes After Effects CC 2015, CC 2017, CC 2018, CC 2019, CC 2020, CC 2021, and CC 2022 or higher. The catalog lists the script as free, though licensing terms may vary over time. Users should verify current pricing and any license conditions on the developer’s website before downloading.
