About Duplicate Frame Remo

Duplicate Frame Remo, created by Lloyd Alvarez, is a script for Adobe After Effects that scans footage for duplicate frames and removes them. Users can define the detection area with a keyframable Region of Interest. After removal, the script can optionally retime the clip back to its original duration using After Effects’ built-in Pixel Motion or Frame Mix tools, with processing up to 50% faster than prior versions. Version 3.4 introduces a “No retime just set keys” option, which places time‑remapping keys on all retained frames without altering clip timing, useful for marking good frames only. The script supports After Effects releases from CC 2015 through the 2026 version and was last updated in May 2026. A demo video is provided on the developer’s page.
