Search and Select Properties earns its place in the aescripts library as a focused utility for finding and copying After Effects properties without running into duplicate group problems.
Search and Select Properties is a panel for After Effects that lets you search for properties by name and select multiple at once. Results are displayed in alphabetical order, and an optional "Strict" mode lets you set more precise search criteria. Once selected, properties can be copied and pasted for workflow integration.
The panel's stated purpose is to copy and paste selected properties while avoiding duplicate group problems. It presents an interface built for straightforward navigation, keeping property search and selection in one place.
Version 1.04 added alphabetical result ordering along with license framework updates and fixes for local license activation and several activation and deactivation errors. Earlier releases introduced the multi search and select feature and improved the COPY, PASTE, and GET buttons. The plugin is compatible with After Effects 2025, 2024, and 2023, and a demo video is available for a closer look.
Search and Select Properties is best for after Effects users who need to search, select, and copy properties by name.
Search and Select Properties is completely free to download and use.
Search and Select Properties is compatible with After Effects 2025, 2024, and 2023. If you run one of these versions, the panel is supported for searching properties by name, selecting multiple properties at once, and copying and pasting them. For versions outside this range, check the developer's page for the latest compatibility details before installing, as support can change with newer plugin releases.
Search and Select Properties includes an optional "Strict" mode for precise search criteria. When you search for properties by name, enabling this mode narrows results according to more exact matching. It works alongside the standard search, which displays results in alphabetical order, so you can choose between broader or tighter matches depending on how specific you need the property search to be.
Search and Select Properties is listed as free in this catalog. Licensing terms can change over time, so for current details on pricing and activation you should check the developer's page directly. Note that version 1.04 updated the license framework and included fixes for local license activation and for several activation and deactivation errors, which is worth reviewing if you manage licenses on your own system.
Search and Select Properties version 1.04, released October 21, 2024, added the display of results in alphabetical order and updated the license framework to v4.3.1. It also included a fix for local license activation when a license server is configured, plus fixes for the -38 license deactivation error and the -6 activation error. Earlier versions had introduced the multi search and select feature and improved the COPY, PASTE, and GET buttons.
