Frequently asked questions

What After Effects versions does foxRetimer support?

foxRetimer supports a wide range of After Effects versions, from CS6 through the CC and CS lines up to the 2026 release. That span includes 2026, 2025, 2024, 2023, 2022, 2021, 2020, along with CC 2019, CC 2018, CC 2017, CC 2015.3, CC 2015, CC 2014, CC and CS6. The version 1.3 update, released in August 2025, specifically added compatibility with Adobe After Effects 2025, so recent releases are covered.

Does foxRetimer work on macOS Tahoe 26?

foxRetimer added compatibility with macOS Tahoe 26 in its version 1.3 release from August 2025. That same update also brought speed enhancements and support for Adobe After Effects 2025. If you are running on macOS Tahoe 26, make sure you are on version 1.3 or later so the compatibility work applies to your setup. Older releases of the script predate that operating system, so updating is the safest path if you rely on nested comp retiming under this macOS version.

Is foxRetimer free to use?

A demo video is also available if you want to see foxRetimer before downloading it. It currently sits at popularity rank 893 in the aescripts library. Because listing terms can change over time, treating the developer's page as the authority for pricing and licensing is the most reliable approach before you install.

What changed in the version 1.3 update of foxRetimer?

foxRetimer version 1.3, released on August 25, 2025, brought speed enhancements along with compatibility for macOS Tahoe 26 and Adobe After Effects 2025. Earlier updates addressed other issues: version 1.1 in November 2021 fixed a bug concerning hidden keyframes, and version 1.0.1 in July 2018 fixed a bug concerning locked layers.
