What is AEJuice Replace Expressions?

AEJuice Replace Expressions is a script for After Effects built to replace expressions across an entire project in one click.

Frequently asked questions

Does AEJuice Replace Expressions work with After Effects CC 2015?

AEJuice Replace Expressions lists compatibility with After Effects CC 2015, CC 2017, CC 2018, CC 2019, CC 2020, CC 2021, CC 2022, or higher, so CC 2015 is supported. Its requirements match that same range of After Effects versions. If you run a newer release than those named, the "or higher" note covers it as well. For the most current compatibility details, the developer's page from AEJuice is the place to confirm before you install the script.

Can AEJuice Replace Expressions search inside nested compositions?

AEJuice Replace Expressions includes an option that controls whether the script goes through nested compositions. You choose whether to include them before running the replacement, alongside setting the scope and typing your search and replace text. This fits within the same workflow: pick your scope, decide on nested compositions, enter the terms, and press Replace. That lets you keep the replacement at the top level or extend it into nested compositions depending on what the project needs.

How do I limit AEJuice Replace Expressions to specific layers or properties?

AEJuice Replace Expressions lets you set the scope before running a replacement. The available scopes are the entire project, a selection, the active composition, selected layers, or selected properties. To target specific layers or properties, choose the matching scope, then type what to search for and what to replace it with and press Replace. Combined with the option for nested compositions, the scope setting controls how broadly or narrowly the expression replacement is applied across your project.

Is AEJuice Replace Expressions free?

AEJuice Replace Expressions is listed as free in this catalog. For current licensing terms and any conditions around downloading or using the script, the developer's page from AEJuice is the best place to check. It was last updated on October 19, 2023, and forms part of the tools AEJuice offers for After Effects. Licensing can change over time, so confirming directly with the developer ensures you have accurate, up-to-date information before adding it to your workflow.
