Working with keyframes has never been so intuitive
After Effects is all about keyframes but manipulating them can be tedious.
With Keystone’s icon-based interface, essential tasks are now just a click away.
Enhanced Copy / Paste
In After Effects we can copy and paste keyframes onto the CTI and… that’s it.
Keystone offers new useful options to deal with the most common situations.
AE vs Keystone
Avoid unpleasant surprises when you move your keyframes.
Keystone is the only tool that performs additional calculations to preserve your carefully crafted motion curves.
Constant speed
Stop struggling to align tangents approximately.
Create smooth curves with one click!
Up to 3 modes per function
These modes change the way Keystone groups keyframes when processing them and are accessible using hotkeys.
Layer Mode
| Property Mode
| Global Mode
