COMP-O-RAMA earns its place in the aescripts library for combining preset-driven comp creation with a pre-render audit that flags common queue problems before they reach After Effects.
COMP-O-RAMA builds compositions in After Effects from presets or custom templates. You add entries into a queue and create them in one pass, with over 30 built-in formats covering social, HD, 4K, cinema, broadcast, animation and high frame rate. Smart Naming, bulk editing and reusable queue templates keep repeat setups fast, and a matrix preview shows every comp against its outputs before you commit.
The script can add multiple formats per comp, queuing PNG, MP4, ProRes and custom output stacks in a single queue pass, and supports render bundles, per-template aliases and per-project defaults. Its Render Queue Audit catches common blockers such as duplicate names, files already on disk, bad folders, missing output modules and sequence naming issues, with one-click fixes.
Smart Naming uses built-in tokens plus custom tokens, and Computed Smart Naming lets you run math and text formatting inside naming tokens. COMP-O-RAMA is compatible with After Effects 2022 through 2026, and a demo video is available on the developer's page.
COMP-O-RAMA is best for after Effects users who create many compositions across multiple formats and want to batch them from presets or templates.
COMP-O-RAMA is completely free to download and use.
COMP-O-RAMA is compatible with After Effects 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025 and 2026. If you run one of these versions, the script should work as described. Users on older releases outside this range should check the developer's page for guidance before installing, since compatibility is only stated for these five versions. Keeping After Effects within the listed range is the safest way to ensure the queue system, Smart Naming and Render Queue Audit behave as documented.
COMP-O-RAMA's Render Queue Audit catches common blockers before they reach After Effects, including duplicate names, files already on disk, bad folders, missing output modules and sequence naming issues. It offers one-click fixes for these problems. This audit was introduced in version 1.1.0 alongside multi-output per comp and matrix preview, giving you a way to review a batch and resolve collisions or missing files, folders and modules before committing to render.
COMP-O-RAMA's Smart Naming uses built-in tokens plus custom tokens to name compositions, and it also powers duplication and render-output filenames. Computed Smart Naming lets you run math and text formatting directly inside naming tokens. Combined with reusable queue templates, per-template aliases and per-project defaults, Smart Naming is designed to keep repeat setups fast across projects. You can preview results in the matrix view, which shows every comp against its outputs with status before you commit.
COMP-O-RAMA is listed as free in this catalog. For current licensing terms and any activation details, check the developer's page directly, since terms can change over time. Note that the changelog references entering a license key, so review the developer's page to confirm how licensing is handled for your situation. The latest version listed here is 1.1.0 from July 2026, and the developer's page remains the best place to confirm what is included.
