SceneStasher earns its place in the aescripts library for a focused idea: turning saved layer and keyframe selections into recallable buttons you can move between across compositions.
SceneStasher is an After Effects panel that turns layer and keyframe selections into buttons. Each button recalls a key moment in your animation, so you can return to it whenever you need. The developer describes it as bookmarking, but for your timeline.
Beyond a single comp, SceneStasher lets you teleport across compositions to retime and refine your work. The selections you save stay reachable as buttons, giving you a set of saved points to jump between as you iterate on a project.
SceneStasher runs on After Effects 2026, 2025, 2024 and 2023. Version 1.0.1 fixed unwanted legacy gray scrollbars that appeared when resizing the panel and improved panel behavior on macOS, following the 1.0.0 initial release. It is available through aescripts and listed here as free.
SceneStasher is best for after Effects animators who want to bookmark layer and keyframe selections and jump back to them while retiming and refining across comps.
SceneStasher is completely free to download and use.
SceneStasher supports After Effects 2026, 2025, 2024 and 2023, so it fits across several recent releases of the application. If you run one of those versions, you can install the panel and start saving layer and keyframe selections as buttons. For versions outside that range, check the developer's page on aescripts for the latest compatibility details before installing, since support can change with new releases.
SceneStasher 1.0.1, released on June 22, 2026, fixed unwanted legacy gray scrollbars that appeared when resizing the SceneStasher panel, and it improved panel behavior on macOS. That update followed the 1.0.0 initial release on April 27, 2026. If you are on an earlier build, updating to 1.0.1 brings these panel fixes, and the developer's page on aescripts lists the full changelog for any later versions.

The developer describes the approach as bookmarking, but for your timeline, giving you saved points you can jump between as you iterate on a project. The buttons live in the SceneStasher panel inside After Effects.
SceneStasher is listed here as free, so you can add it to your After Effects setup without a purchase through this catalog. Licensing terms can change over time, so for the current details, download link and any conditions, check the developer's page on aescripts. That page is also the place to confirm the latest version and compatibility before you install SceneStasher on your system.
