Add FX by groups

Simply add or remove effects from a group layer and control from there. Nested groups’ effects are ordered accordingly.

Mask groups while keeping layers accessible

Easily mask a group’s layers by adding a mask to the group layer. Masks can be set to calculate before or after any effect. Layers are easily moved inside the mask almost like a track matte.

Time StretchStretch the layers just by stretching the group.

Duplicate Groups

Nested groups parented at average positions

By default, groups are parented logically at the layers’ average position. Change this at any time, even after animating.
