Control LMFX earns its place in the aescripts library by folding a range of workflow tools — composition duplication, an FPS Editor, keyframe recoloring and file sorting — into a single After Effects panel, with version 1.1.4 adding new tools and performance fixes.
Control LMFX is a panel for After Effects that centers on smart control over layer and effect groups. It speeds up workflow by keeping a set of everyday tools inside one panel rather than spread across the interface.
The panel covers several areas. Duplicate Compositions handles quick composition duplication in the timeline when you hold Shift, and the FPS Editor changes the frame rate of selected media or compositions based on the active composition, with manual framerate input and expanded filtering. Recolor Keyframes supports text layer keyframe animation, while Sort Files adds a keyword-based sorting mode and an Unused Files sorting group. FX Manager and Group Viewer include an effects list view, and the Palette Manager handles color palettes.
Version 1.1.4 added Duplicate Compositions and the Shift-based FPS editing, an option to set the default label color for newly created null objects, and performance fixes for long After Effects sessions. It runs on After Effects 2022 through 2026, and a demo video is available.
Control LMFX is best for after Effects artists who want faster handling of layer and effect groups, composition duplication, frame-rate edits and file sorting from one panel.
Control LMFX is completely free to download and use.
Control LMFX supports After Effects versions 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025 and 2026, so any release in that range is compatible with the panel. Version 1.1.4, released June 1, 2026, is the current build documented here, and it carries fixes for tool freezes during long After Effects sessions along with general performance improvements. For versions outside that list, check the developer's page on aescripts to confirm support before installing the panel on your system.
Control LMFX is listed as free in this catalog. Because licensing terms can change over time, check the developer's page on aescripts for the current details before you download it. That page hosts the panel along with its version history and the changelog covering recent updates such as the Duplicate Compositions feature, the FPS Editor and the Palette Manager improvements. The developer's aescripts page is the authoritative source for how the tool is currently offered.
Control LMFX includes an FPS Editor that changes the frame rate of selected media or compositions based on the active composition when you hold the Shift key. Later updates added manual framerate input, expanded filtering, and duplication support for videos and image sequences. This makes the FPS Editor one of several panel tools that handle frame-rate work directly. For the exact steps and option details, the developer's manual referenced on the aescripts page is the place to look.
Control LMFX adds quick composition duplication in the timeline, triggered by holding the Shift key. This feature arrived in version 1.1.4 alongside the FPS Editor and other refinements. The same release also added an option to choose the default label color for newly created null objects and improved performance in the Palette Manager. If you want to see these panel tools in context, a demo video is available, and the developer's aescripts page documents the full changelog.
