Why we like it

AEJuice Freeze Frame earns its place in the toolfarm library for doing one thing plainly: freezing scene animation to speed up previews, with kBar and AEJuice Toolbar integration to reach it quickly.

What is AEJuice Freeze Frame?

AEJuice Freeze Frame is a script for After Effects built around a single job: freezing the animation in a complex scene. By holding the animation in place, it speeds up preview playback while you work on the composition.

The script integrates with kBar and the AEJuice Toolbar, which makes it easier to use. It runs in After Effects CC 2015, CC 2017, CC 2018, CC 2019, CC 2020, CC 2021, CC 2022 or higher, so it covers a wide range of recent releases. A demo video is available if you want to see the script before adding it to your workflow.

Listed here as free, AEJuice Freeze Frame keeps its scope narrow and its interface easy to use. For current licensing and installation details, check the developer's page.

Frequently asked questions

What After Effects versions does AEJuice Freeze Frame support?

AEJuice Freeze Frame runs in After Effects CC 2015, CC 2017, CC 2018, CC 2019, CC 2020, CC 2021, CC 2022 or higher. That range covers a broad span of recent After Effects releases, so most users on a modern install should be able to run it. If you are on an older or unlisted build, check the developer's page to confirm before installing.

Does AEJuice Freeze Frame work with kBar and the AEJuice Toolbar?

AEJuice Freeze Frame is integrated with both kBar and the AEJuice Toolbar. According to the developer, that integration makes the script easier to use. If you already run either of those panels in After Effects, you can reach Freeze Frame from within your existing setup rather than hunting through menus each time you want to freeze a scene.

Is AEJuice Freeze Frame free?

AEJuice Freeze Frame is listed here as free. Pricing and terms can change over time, so for current licensing, purchase details, and installation instructions, check the developer's page directly. That page is also the best place to find the tutorial and any updates to how the script is distributed.

Is there a demo video for AEJuice Freeze Frame?

AEJuice Freeze Frame has a demo video available. If you want a look at the script before adding it to your After Effects setup, the video is a good starting point. For step-by-step guidance and the latest details, the developer's page and tutorial cover how the script fits into your workflow.
