Why we like it

EaseCopy earns its place in the aescripts library for a narrow, practical job: keeping eases and values separate when you copy and paste keyframes. Ranking sixth on aescripts, it's one of the more popular scripts there, and its long compatibility list keeps it usable across old and current After Effects versions alike.

Installation can be automated through the aescripts + aeplugins manager app, which places the standalone scripts in the correct folders. Compatibility spans a wide range of After Effects releases, from CS6 through the 2026 version.

Version 1.7.3 improved alerting and handling of write permission issues in the userData folder. A demo video is available, and current licensing is listed on the developer's page.
