breakdowns earns its place in the aescripts library for automating the labeling, exporting, and organizing of layers without touching the original work.
breakdowns is an After Effects plugin built by PENCIL Park for animators who need to label, export, and organize their animations. It automatically handles labeling, exporting, and organizing your layers along with a video, streamlining the workflow without manual hassles. It's designed for animators working with vertical stacks of layers and brings Photoshop-style organization to the process.
Because it adds no additional elements to your project, your layers stay unaltered and your project remains clutter-free. It also lets you customize labeling and layer order. By generating unique sequences and animations, breakdowns supports effective project versioning.
Beyond organization, it's also suited to creating behind-the-scenes renders of a project. A demo video is available, and the plugin lists compatibility with After Effects versions from 2020 through 2024.

Support for versions outside that range isn't stated, so users on older or newer builds should check the developer's page before installing to confirm the plugin runs in their setup.
breakdowns adds no additional elements to your project, which keeps your layers unaltered and your project clutter-free.
