Ranked 610 in the aescripts library, Smart Key Reverse 2 earns its place for turning a manual task, reversing complex keyframes, into a one-click action, with multiple reverse modes for finer control.
Smart Key Reverse 2 flips complex animation in After Effects with a single click. The panel offers different types of reverse, including Reverse at Time, Reverse with Work Area, and Reverse from In point to Out point, and it can reverse all properties or only the ones you specify. A built-in keyframe counter keeps track as you work.
The tool ships with a compact, intuitive design and flexible settings. It includes full support for the Kbar2 extension and keyboard shortcuts. Compatibility spans a wide range of After Effects versions, from CS6 through CC and the 2019, 2020, and 2021 releases.

Smart Key Reverse 2 is completely free to download and use.
Smart Key Reverse 2 supports a broad range of After Effects versions, from CS6 and CC through CC 2014, CC 2015, CC 2015.3, CC 2017, CC 2018, CC 2019, and the 2020 and 2021 releases. That range covers both long-standing and more recent installs, so users on older systems can run it alongside those on newer builds. The 2.1.6 update, released in October 2021, added better compatibility with After Effects 2021 specifically. Check the developer's page to confirm support for any version newer than those listed.
Smart Key Reverse 2 provides different types of reverse rather than a single mode. These include Reverse at Time, Reverse with Work Area, and Reverse from In point to Out point. You can reverse all properties at once or limit the action to specified or selected properties. A keyframe counter is built in, and the whole process runs from a single click to flip complex animation. Flexible settings let you adjust how the reverse is applied.
Smart Key Reverse 2 includes full support for the Kbar2 extension, so its actions can be triggered from that toolbar. It also comes with keyboard shortcuts, which were added in the 2.1 update along with tab setting fixes. The panel itself uses a compact, intuitive design with flexible settings. These options let you reach the reversal actions through the Kbar2 toolbar, the keyboard shortcuts, or the panel directly, depending on your preference.
Smart Key Reverse 2 is listed as free in this catalog. Since licensing and pricing can change over time, check the developer's page on aescripts for the current terms before you download. The current release is version 2.1.6, published on October 30, 2021, which brought UI improvements, enhanced stability, and better compatibility with After Effects 2021. A demo video is also available.
