I've been using pt_ShiftLayers to do this sort of thing for years. As a scriptUI panel it's not a nice a UI though. There's some great touches in there.

I mean... it's sort of been a part of AE for ages (RMB click on selected layers (order in which you're selecting matters) -> Keyframe assistant -> sequence layers) but it's nowhere near as adjustable as this plugin makes it.

Rift is free and does about 95% of this. Granted, this is a much easier to follow UI. Also, once layers are colored, you can already right click and "select label group" in AE to select layers of the same color.

This is amazing. I am blown away by how useful, well-thought through, and well designed it is.

Awesome video Joey. I saw some things on Skew but you've convinced me to get it. That last feature you showed is gold.

Can they rebuild AE from scratch using that UI? Please 😭

I wish the native ae ui was more like this, it feels really outdated. Great tool, I haven't seen something as useful and well made since flow. By the way: if you just want to select one label group, you can do this by right clicking the layers color too!

This tool looks beautifully made, but it's incredible to me that a feature as simple as this isn't already part of AE.

Thak you for explaining what the new tool is in under 20 seconds of the video starting. Most channels would do an AD placement and go off topic for 30mins. Fantastic!

Fantastic tutorial, keep up the great videos!

Wow this is something BIG! Thank you sooo much for sharing such a good tutorial

Finally picked this up and it's immediately a time saver and like you said the UX is so clean. Thanks a bunch.

I've been using this and it's amazing. Super handy like Flow or Keystone.

This is mind blowing! Well done Skew 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Been using PT shift layers for years, it’s been a great tool, but it’s time to upgrade. 🎉 But by far the most powerful toolset you’ll ever use is Motion 4 from Mt. Mograph. It does EVERYTHING, and a bag of chips.

Love this channel! Liked and subbed!

that's sick. It reminded me of Lazy initially but the layer selection features at the end really stood out for me, looks great. the only issue i would say would be the size of the extension window itself in the gui. Hopefully it works as well when it's shrunk down a bit

GAME CHANGER!! this is how AE should work in the first place, I wish Skew's developers would be AE developers because this is the kind of stuff we need and Adobe doesn't truly understand its users, they're too old school.

I don't even use AE much but looking at Skew's incredibly well-designed UI made me feel like I should get into it more

I straight up hit purchase at 2:38. You could stop the video there, that's all i needed to purchase is!

There is an extension to add frames in the midlle of timeline for all the layers at same time like we did with Flash hitting F5?

I use Motion Tools from Motion Design School, which besides from a bunch of other extremely useful tools, has a basic skew function as well. absolutely one of my most used tools, so I can see this being super useful as well. but one thing motion tools seems to have over skew is that the offsetting works on keyframes too.

I would love skew, but I do LONG video animations. Is there a way to make skew work with in/out points instead of clip start?

Can Adobe just implement this in the root application?! This is so small, but the workflow is 100x faster! Great vid!
