Why we like it

Inout earns a spot in the aescripts library as a focused, keyframe-free approach to animating In and Out property transitions.

What is Inout?

Inout is a script for After Effects by Pierre Leimbacher that animates property transitions In and Out without keyframes. Instead of setting keyframes manually, you point it at a property and let it build the In and Out animation.

The current version processes a single layer at a time, and each selection is limited to two properties at once. That scope keeps the tool focused on driving transitions for the properties you choose rather than batch-processing an entire composition.

Inout runs on After Effects 2025, 2024, 2023 and 2022. The version 1.0 release arrived on July 23, 2025 as the initial release, and a demo video is available for a closer look at the tool.

Who is Inout best for?

Inout is best for after Effects users who want to animate property transitions in and out without setting keyframes manually.

How much does Inout cost?

Inout is completely free to download and use.

Frequently asked questions

Which After Effects versions does Inout support?

Inout is compatible with After Effects 2025, 2024, 2023 and 2022. If you are running one of these releases, the script should work as described. For versions outside that range, check the developer's page for the latest compatibility information before installing, since the listed support covers those four releases specifically. The current version is 1.0, released on July 23, 2025 as the initial release.

How many properties and layers can Inout handle at once?

Inout limits each selection to two properties at once, and it processes only one layer at a time. This means you work through transitions on a per-layer basis rather than applying the animation across multiple layers simultaneously. If your project needs In and Out transitions on more properties or layers, you would repeat the process for each. These constraints reflect the tool's current 1.0 release.

Is Inout free?

Inout is listed as free in this catalog. Licensing terms can change over time, so for the current details and any conditions attached to using the script, refer to the developer's page. The tool comes from Pierre Leimbacher and reached its version 1.0 initial release on July 23, 2025, and a demo video is also available to preview how it works.
