Why we like it

Earns its place in the toolfarm library as a focused utility for copying nested compositions with expressions relinked automatically. Last updated in October 2023.

What is AEJuice Duplicate?

AEJuice Duplicate is a script for After Effects that handles duplicating compositions built from nested comps. When you copy a composition, it creates a completely independent copy along with copies of the nested compositions inside it, producing a standalone version of the comp.

AEJuice Duplicate also updates expressions and automatically relinks them, so references stay connected after the copy is made rather than pointing back to the originals. The script is integrated with kBar for teams that use that setup.

It runs in After Effects CC 2015 through CC 2022 or higher, covering a broad span of recent releases. Within the toolfarm library it holds a popularity rank of 309, and this catalog lists it as free. For current licensing, promotions, and download details, check AEJuice's own page.

Who is AEJuice Duplicate best for?

AEJuice Duplicate is best for after Effects users who need to duplicate compositions containing nested comps while keeping expressions relinked.

How much does AEJuice Duplicate cost?

AEJuice Duplicate is completely free to download and use.

Frequently asked questions

What After Effects versions does AEJuice Duplicate support?

AEJuice Duplicate lists compatibility with After Effects CC 2015, CC 2017, CC 2018, CC 2019, CC 2020, CC 2021, and CC 2022 or higher, so it covers a broad range of recent releases. The stated requirements match that same list of versions. If you are running a build within or newer than that range, the script is intended to work in your environment. For the most current compatibility details and any newer version support, check AEJuice's own page before installing.

Does AEJuice Duplicate work with kBar?

AEJuice Duplicate is integrated with kBar, so it can be used alongside that setup. Beyond that integration, the script's core job is duplicating compositions and their nested comps while updating and relinking expressions. If kBar is part of your After Effects workflow, this integration is worth noting when deciding whether the script fits how you already work. For specifics on setting up or using the kBar integration, refer to AEJuice's documentation and product page.

How does AEJuice Duplicate handle expressions when duplicating a composition?

AEJuice Duplicate creates a completely independent copy of a composition along with copies of its nested compositions, then updates and automatically relinks expressions as part of the process. This keeps expression references connected after the duplicate is made. The script focuses on this combination of independent copying and expression updating rather than a broader toolset. For a closer look at how the relinking behaves, AEJuice covers it on the product page.

Is AEJuice Duplicate free?

AEJuice Duplicate is listed as free in this catalog. Licensing terms can change, and AEJuice runs sales and limited-time promotions, so the current cost and any license conditions are best confirmed directly. For up-to-date pricing, licensing, and download options, check AEJuice's own page before you commit. What stays consistent here is the script's function: duplicating compositions and their nested comps while updating and relinking expressions, with kBar integration included.
