Bolt

Description

Bolt is an After Effects tool built to speed up your workflow so you can focus on what you do best: design. With hundreds of layers, effects, and expressions in your projects slowing you down, valuable time is wasted as you constantly switch layers/effects on and off, solo layers, lower the preview quality, and manage the layer stacks. Bolt was designed to help alleviate some of these trivial problems.

Features

• Toggle specific layers/effects on/off to focus on certain aspects of your comp.
• Declutter your timeline by quickly showing only interested layers and hiding the rest
• Instantly toggle between composition preview quality for faster previewing, with ability to toggle depth of field and motion blur
• Trim layers to keyframe duration and set workarea to layer duration
• Assign layer groups different color labels, or assign them random ones
• Quickly remove gaps between sequenced layers
• Rearrange the layer stack in sequential order for easy organization
• Fast creation of adjustment layers & solids
• Bulk edit all the text layers with a quick selection
• Mass toggle light and shadow acceptance for 3D layers
