Version Raptor ranks 6 on aescripts and earns attention for pairing straightforward name incrementing with Deep Versioning across nested comps and sequences. The 1.2.1 update, from July 2026, added Deep Versioning and KBar support.
Version Raptor is a versioning tool for After Effects and Premiere Pro, developed by Hyper Brew. It renames projects, comps and sequences by incrementing their version numbers, handling patterns like project-v01 to project-v02, comp_0001 to comp_0002, and sequence_v01_JT to sequence_v02_JT.
Its Deep Versioning feature duplicates all child comps in After Effects or sequences in Premiere Pro, and updates the comp and sequence references of any parent comps in After Effects or sequences in Premiere.
Version Raptor also supports KBar and similar tools through a standalone .jsx script with icons for versioning. It is compatible with After Effects 2026 and 2025 and Premiere Pro 2026 and 2025, and a demo video is available on the developer's page. These Deep Versioning and KBar capabilities were introduced in the 1.2.1 update.
Version Raptor is best for editors and motion designers who need to version projects, comps and sequences by name across After Effects and Premiere Pro.
Version Raptor is completely free to download and use.
Version Raptor is compatible with After Effects 2026 and 2025, along with Premiere Pro 2026 and 2025. It works across both applications, applying its versioning to projects, comps and sequences. If you are running one of those release years, the plugin is listed as supported. For any versions outside that range, check the developer's page at Hyper Brew for the latest compatibility details before installing.
Version Raptor supports KBar and similar tools through a standalone .jsx script that ships with icons for versioning. That means versioning actions can sit on a KBar setup or comparable button tool rather than only within the plugin's own interface. This KBar support was added in the 1.2.1 release. For setup steps specific to KBar and similar tools, refer to the developer's page at Hyper Brew.
Version Raptor's Deep Versioning duplicates all child comps in After Effects or sequences in Premiere Pro, and updates the comp and sequence references of any parent comps in After Effects or sequences in Premiere. This runs alongside the standard incrementing of version numbers in project, comp and sequence names. Deep Versioning was introduced in the 1.2.1 update. For a closer look, a demo video is available and further detail is on the developer's page.
Version Raptor is listed as free in this catalog. Because licensing terms can change, check the developer's page at Hyper Brew for the current details before you rely on it for a project. The plugin covers versioning for After Effects 2026 and 2025 and Premiere Pro 2026 and 2025, so confirm your release year is supported at the same time.
