About AEJuice Increase Comp Duration

AEJuice Increase Comp Duration is a script for After Effects that modifies the duration of a selected composition or layers that contain nested compositions. Users can specify an exact duration (e.g., 5 seconds) or use a relative input such as +5 to add five seconds or -5 to subtract five seconds from the existing length. The script can apply changes to multiple items at once, operating on selected compositions in the project panel, an open composition, or selected layers. Layers that are already shorter than the target composition duration are left unchanged. Integration with kBar is included. It runs on After Effects CC 2015, CC 2017, CC 2018, CC 2019, CC 2020, CC 2021, CC 2022 or higher and was last updated in October 2023. The script is listed as free, though licensing details should be verified on the developer’s site.
