Why we like it

SuffixSlayer earns a place in the aescripts library as a focused utility that addresses one specific naming quirk in After Effects image renders.

What is SuffixSlayer?

SuffixSlayer is a utility for After Effects focused on a single task: removing the frame number suffix from image renders. It targets the naming that After Effects appends to rendered image files, giving you output without that trailing frame # suffix.

The tool is offered on a name-your-own-price basis, and this catalog lists it as free. It covers a broad span of After Effects releases, from CC 2014 through the 2025 version, so it fits into both older and current workflows without requiring a specific edition.

Released as version 1.0 in February 2025, SuffixSlayer is a straightforward addition to a render workflow. A demo video is available for those who want to see more before installing.

Who is SuffixSlayer best for?

SuffixSlayer is best for after Effects users who want their rendered image files without the frame number suffix.
