Rapid Reel Composer earns its place in the aescripts library for turning marker-based splitting into a way to build reels, short videos, and tutorials without manual trimming.
Rapid Reel Composer, from Kupu Creative Media, is an After Effects script for making social media reels, short videos, or tutorials in a few clicks. Instead of manually trimming or splitting long footage, you press the asterisk (*) key to place markers where you want the cuts, and the tool divides the selected layer into multiple short clips.
Two buttons shape how the clips are built. The In-Out button lets you specify the in and out points of your clips, while the Lazy button produces automatic cuts at your desired clip length.
Rapid Reel Composer supports After Effects from CC 2019 through the 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025 releases. It arrived as version 1.0 on November 13, 2023, and a demo video is available.
Rapid Reel Composer is best for editors and content creators cutting long footage into social media reels, short videos, or tutorials in After Effects.
Rapid Reel Composer is completely free to download and use.
Rapid Reel Composer runs on After Effects across a wide range of releases, from CC 2019 through 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025. If you work in any of those versions, the script fits your setup. For the most current compatibility details and any requirements before installing, check the developer's page on aescripts, since listed support can shift as new After Effects releases arrive over time.
Rapid Reel Composer splits footage using markers rather than manual trimming. Press the asterisk (*) key at each point in the selected layer where you want a cut, and the tool divides that layer into multiple short clips based on those markers. You can also use the In-Out button to specify the in and out points of your clips, which gives you direct control over where each segment starts and ends before splitting.
Rapid Reel Composer includes a Lazy button that creates automatic cuts at a clip length you choose. Rather than placing each marker by hand with the asterisk key, you set your desired clip length and let the tool divide the footage for you. It works alongside the marker-based splitting and the In-Out button, so you can pick whichever method suits the footage you are cutting into short clips.
Rapid Reel Composer is listed as free in this catalog. For current licensing terms and to download the script, visit the developer's page on aescripts, where availability and any conditions are maintained. The script was released as version 1.0 on November 13, 2023, so it is an initial release; checking the developer's page also lets you confirm whether any newer updates have appeared since that first version.
