The fastest way to handle repetitive After Effects work

DUDE BOX is a compact toolbar above your timeline that turns the things you do a hundred times a day — layer creation, animation, moving the anchor point, cleanup — into a single click. Fully bilingual, Persian and English.

Features

Every tool you need on the job, one click away

Every button acts on the selected layers and you see the result instantly. The toolbar's horizontal layout sits right above the timeline without stealing screen space.

Layer creation

Nulls, adjustment layers and text — created exactly above your selected layer, with an optional random label color.

Animation & effects

Wiggle, fade in and fade out with saveable settings. Set your preferred values once, and it remembers them next time.

Smart anchor point

Move the anchor point to the layer's center or any of 9 points — without shifting the layer at all. Works even on rotated and scaled layers.

Easy ease & duplicate

Easy-ease your selected keyframes in one click, or duplicate layers instantly.

Layer cleanup

Strip effects, masks, styles, keyframes and expressions from selected layers all at once — with confirmation, and undoable.

Heavy-layer management

Hide heavy layers in one click for a faster preview, then bring back exactly the ones you hid.

A few seconds per repetition adds up over a project

Things like creating a null, fixing an anchor point, or easy-easing a keyframe each take just a few seconds — but you repeat them dozens of times a day. Cut those seconds out, and across a whole project they add up to hours.

One click
Instead of a menu, panel and dialog for everyday tasks
Faster preview
Temporarily hide heavy layers, then bring them right back
No manual errors
Precise anchor points, with the layer never shifting

The back-of-the-envelope math is simple: if you spend half an hour a day on these repetitive tasks, that's several hours freed up every month — capacity for more projects, or faster delivery on the ones you already have. The license usually pays for itself within a project or two.

FAQ

Good to know before you buy

How many machines can I activate it on?

Each license covers one machine. If you switch machines or need to move your license, contact support and we'll release it for you.

Do I need internet after activation?

No. The first activation needs an internet connection once, but after that the panel works offline and doesn't need internet to open each time.

Which After Effects versions does it support?

Current After Effects versions that support CEP extensions (CC 2019 and later). If you're not sure, ask support before buying.

How do I get my activation key?

Right after a successful payment, the key is shown on the return page and also emailed to the address you entered.

Does a DUDE BOX license also work for Sound Picker?

No. Each product has its own independent license and must be purchased separately.
