Why we like it

Magic Switcher PRO earns its place in the aescripts library for handling project-wide toggling of Layer Styles, Effects, and Adjustment Layers from a single click, with an added audio mute function.

What is Magic Switcher PRO?

Magic Switcher PRO from Script-Fighter is an After Effects script for switching Layer Styles, Effects, and Adjustment Layers on and off with a single click across an entire project. Rather than toggling each item individually, the tool applies the change project-wide.

A more recent addition brings audio into the same workflow. Magic Switcher PRO can mute and unmute the audio for all layers in a project at once, and when unmuting it restores only the audio that was enabled before the mute.

The script supports After Effects 2023, 2022, 2021, 2020, and CC 2019 through CC 2015.3. Version 2.6 updated the tool to the latest aescripts licensing system, and version 2.5 introduced a smaller design for the PRO version. Earlier releases fixed a bug that prevented the tool from running when a camera or light was in use. Magic Switcher is listed here as free, and a demo video is available.

Who is Magic Switcher PRO best for?

Magic Switcher PRO is best for after Effects users who want to switch Layer Styles, Effects, and Adjustment Layers on or off across a whole project at once.

Frequently asked questions

Does Magic Switcher PRO work with After Effects 2023?

Magic Switcher PRO supports After Effects 2023, along with 2022, 2021, 2020, and the CC versions 2019, 2018, 2017, and 2015.3. That range covers both current and older installations, so projects opened in either recent or legacy versions of After Effects can use the script. If you are on a version outside this list, check the developer's page for the latest compatibility details before installing the tool.

Can Magic Switcher PRO mute audio across a whole project?

Magic Switcher PRO can mute and unmute the audio for all layers in a project at once. When it unmutes, it restores only the audio that was enabled before the mute, so layers that were already silent stay that way. This audio function was added in version 2.3.1, extending the same project-wide, single-click approach the script uses for Layer Styles, Effects, and Adjustment Layers.

Is Magic Switcher PRO free?

Magic Switcher PRO is listed here as free, and the tool is also available in a free version according to the developer. Version 2.6 updated the script to the latest aescripts licensing system, so for current licensing terms and any download options it is best to check the developer's page directly. Pricing and availability can change over time, and the developer's page carries the up-to-date details.

What changed in Magic Switcher PRO version 2.6?

Magic Switcher PRO version 2.6, released on April 4, 2026, updated the tool to the latest aescripts licensing system. The prior version 2.5 introduced a smaller design for the PRO version, while earlier 2.x releases fixed a bug that had prevented the tool from running when a camera or light was used in the project. For the full version history, the developer's page lists each release.
