Layers and time 5
- RenameTool
Renames layers, effects, masks or shape groups with a new name, find and replace, prefix, suffix and numbering.
- StaggerTool
Offsets selected layers a set number of frames apart, as picked or top to bottom; Alt starts with the last.
- Reverse orderTool
Flips the stacking order of the selected layers, leaving unselected layers where they are.
- Extend startTool
Adds seconds before the comp start, moving layers, markers and work area later; backgrounds can still cover the start.
- Time remapTool
Turns on time remapping for footage or pre-comp layers with keys only at their start and end.
Looks 6

- SlidePreset
Text in look: each unit fades in while sliding in from 60 pixels to the left.
- PopPreset
Text in look: each unit fades in while scaling up from zero.
- SpinPreset
Text in look: each unit fades in while turning from -90 degrees and growing from 40 percent.
- BlurPreset

- StretchPreset
Text in look: each unit fades in while stretching up from zero height.

- Hidden: shy and lockedAction
Makes every layer with its eye off both shy and locked, and hides shy layers.
- Show all shy layersAction
Turns shy off on every layer in the comp.
- Merge solidsTool
Removes duplicate solids of the same size and colour in the project, relinking their layers to the one kept.
- Merge groupsTool
Joins shape groups that paint the same way into one where the picture stays identical, optionally named by colour.
Make 2

More in mouzekit
Each group is a card section in the panel; a search box (Find a tool) filters tiles. Many tools have Alt-click (take off, unlink, reverse) and Shift-click variants described in the tile tooltip. Tools with settings open them under their tile: Layout (Direction Row/Column/Wrap, Along Start/Centre/End/Between/Evenly, Across Start/Centre/End, Gap), Rename, Stagger, Extend start, Text in (One by one Characters/Words/Lines, Order Forward/Backward/Middle/Ends/Random, Ease Smooth/Ease out/Overshoot/Linear, durations, leave again at end), Noise roll, Backdrop (3 to 40 curve pieces, radius), Merge groups and Line. Every tool is one undo step. A help guide (F1 tab) explains each tool.
