About ExpressionUniversalizer 4

ExpressionUniversalizer 4 rewrites expressions in After Effects projects so they remain functional when opened in any language version of the application. It uses an all‑new C++ parsing engine that is approximately 10‑20% faster and more accurate than prior versions. The plugin supports all native After Effects languages, including English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Russian and Chinese, as well as data layer references such as JSON and CSV. Batch processing lets users convert multiple projects at once, with options for project‑name matching, suffix/prefix/replace renaming, alert suppression, adding an “Expressions Universalized” tag, removing disabled expressions, and defining a logfile location. Native Apple Silicon (M1) support is included. Version 4.3.5 is compatible with After Effects releases from CC 2015 through 2026.
