Why we like it

Shifter 3 stands out for spanning both After Effects and Premiere Pro, so the same staircasing workflow carries across the two applications. Version 3.0.0 centres on offset control, a more responsive UI, and preset import and export.

What is Shifter 3?

Shifter 3 is the latest version of Leyero's plugin for staircasing items in After Effects and Premiere Pro. It works across both applications from a single tool.
