About MarkerMover

MarkerMover provides a comprehensive set of tools for handling both composition and layer markers in Adobe After Effects. Users can move markers by a settable value, switch between frame and second time formats, copy, cut, paste, and delete markers, and toggle split or protected region markers. The plugin also saves and applies work area settings, creates a dummy markers layer, and applies a marker-trigger expression to selected properties so markers can drive animation. Additional features include copying markers to and from Memory Banks, KBar toolbar integration with icons and an import file, and support for light‑mode panels in After Effects 2025 and newer. Compatibility is listed for After Effects versions 2021 through 2026. Version 1.1.3 updates the licensing framework to address activation issues.
