Why we like it

AEJuice Increase Comp Duration sits at rank 135 in the toolfarm library and covers one specific job: changing composition and layer durations by fixed or relative amounts. The +/- input for relative changes and the batch handling across the project panel are its distinguishing traits.

What is AEJuice Increase Comp Duration?

AEJuice Increase Comp Duration is a script for After Effects that increases the duration of a selected composition or layers with nested compositions. You enter the new length as a fixed value, such as 5 seconds, or type +5 to add to the current duration and -5 to subtract from it.

The script can batch change duration across selected compositions in the project panel, an opened composition, or selected layers. When a layer runs shorter than the composition's duration and does not need to be increased, that layer is preserved. It is also integrated with kBar.

AEJuice Increase Comp Duration runs in After Effects CC 2015, CC 2017, CC 2018, CC 2019, CC 2020, CC 2021, CC 2022 or higher. It carries a last update of October 2023 and is listed here as free, so check the developer's page for current licensing.

Frequently asked questions

Which After Effects versions does AEJuice Increase Comp Duration support?

AEJuice Increase Comp Duration is compatible with After Effects CC 2015, CC 2017, CC 2018, CC 2019, CC 2020, CC 2021, CC 2022 or higher. Those same versions are listed as its requirements, so any of them should run the script. If you are on an older or unlisted release, check the developer's page before installing to confirm it will work with your setup.

How do the +5 and -5 inputs work in AEJuice Increase Comp Duration?

AEJuice Increase Comp Duration accepts three kinds of input. Enter a fixed number, like 5 seconds, to set the duration to that exact length. Enter +5 to increase the current duration by 5 seconds, or enter -5 to decrease it by 5 seconds. This lets you set an absolute length or adjust relative to whatever duration is already in place, without recalculating the total yourself.

Can AEJuice Increase Comp Duration change several compositions at once?

AEJuice Increase Comp Duration supports batch duration changes. You can apply a change to selected compositions in the project panel, to an opened composition, or to selected layers. When a layer is shorter than the composition's duration and does not need to be increased, the script preserves that layer rather than extending it. Both the batch handling and the layer preservation are built into the script.

Is AEJuice Increase Comp Duration free?

AEJuice Increase Comp Duration is listed here as free. Because pricing and licensing can change and may differ by region or promotion, this catalog does not show a specific figure. To confirm the current terms, download options, and any licensing conditions, visit the developer's page directly. That is also the best place to find the latest version and support for the script.
