layer group shifter
Layer Group Shifter is an After Effects script that staggers selected layers in a composition. Instead of offsetting every layer individually, it allows you to stagger layers in groups, letting you define how many layers should move together and by how many frames.
This makes it faster and easier to create sequenced animations for multiple layers at once. The result is precise, customizable staggering without manually adjusting each layer.
Currently tested and working with After Effects 2024 and 2025.
