AE Solo work mode

Solo Work Mode — After Effects ScriptEver get lost in a complex comp with 50+ layers? Solo Work Mode lets you focus on exactly what you're working on by dimming everything else — without touching AE's built-in solo switches or messing with your render settings.How it works: Select the layers you want to focus on, dial in a dim opacity (default 30%), and hit Solo Selected + Dim. Every other layer in the comp fades back so your selected layers pop. When you're done, hit Reset All and every layer snaps back to its original opacity — no guesswork, no manual cleanup.Features: Adjustable dim level via slider (0–100%) Automatically locks all other layers - then returns them once you have finished working on your selected layers Works on any layer type — footage, shapes, text, precomps, nulls Skips cameras and lights automatically Non-destructive — all original opacities are stored and restored perfectly Fully undoable via AE's undo history Dockable floating palette — stays open while you work Perfect for: Motion designers working on dense compositions, animators isolating character rigs, and anyone who's ever accidentally edited the wrong layer.Installation: File → Scripts → Run Script File. No plugins, no dependencies.
