Bake Expressions earns its place in the toolfarm library for a focused job: turning expressions into keyframes and back again in one click, with batch scopes covering everything from a whole project down to individual properties.
AEJuice Bake Expressions is a script for After Effects that converts expressions into keyframes. Baking runs in one click, and the developer notes that a baked expression should speed up your render. When you need the original setup back, an unbake option restores all expressions, also in one click.
The script works across different scopes. You can batch process your entire project, selected comps, the active comp, selected layers, or individual properties, so you can bake or unbake everything at once or focus on a specific part of a composition.
AEJuice Bake Expressions is compatible with 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. A demo video is available if you want to see it before installing.
AEJuice Bake Expressions is best for after Effects users who want to convert expressions into keyframes to speed up renders, then unbake them when edits are needed.
AEJuice Bake Expressions is completely free to download and use.
AEJuice Bake Expressions runs on After Effects CC 2015, CC 2017, CC 2018, CC 2019, CC 2020, CC 2021, CC 2022, or higher. If you're on a supported release in that range, the script should install and work as intended. For versions outside this list, or to confirm behaviour with a newer release, check the developer's page for the latest compatibility details before installing so you know it matches your setup.
AEJuice Bake Expressions converts expressions into keyframes, and the developer notes that a baked expression should speed up your render. After baking, the affected properties hold plain keyframes rather than live expressions. If you later need the original setup back, the script can unbake to restore all expressions in one click, so baking does not have to be a permanent change to your project.
AEJuice Bake Expressions includes an unbake option that restores all expressions in one click, so the conversion to keyframes can be reversed. This lets you bake expressions to work with plain keyframes, then bring the original expressions back when you need to edit them again. Both baking and unbaking are single-click actions in the script, so switching between the two states is quick.
AEJuice Bake Expressions can batch process your entire project, selected comps, the active comp, selected layers, or individual properties. That range of scopes lets you bake or unbake everything in one pass or narrow the operation down to specific layers or properties. Choose the scope that matches what you want to convert, then run the bake or unbake in one click.
AEJuice Bake Expressions is listed as free here in our catalog. Licensing and availability can change over time, so check the developer's page for the current terms before you download. A demo video is also available if you'd like to look at the script before installing. When in doubt about the current offer, the developer's page is the most reliable source for the latest status.
