About ColorSwap

It allows you to locate a specific color and replace it with another, with the scope limited to a single composition, the current selection, or the entire project. Version 1.1, released in February 2023, added support for keyframed colors, enabling replacement of animated color values as well as static ones. The script is compatible with After Effects versions 2020 through 2026. It is listed as free, but licensing details should be confirmed on the developer’s site. A demo video is available for reference.
