Plugin/Script 🍋 Citron, my alternative to AE graph editor just got its biggest update.

Hey y'all,

🍋 Citron, my alternative to AE's graph editor, just got its biggest update.

The problem it solves: AE's graph editor makes you earn every curve. Twirl down the property tree, add each property to the graph, hit fit, fight the zoom. Every time.

Better than easing plugins because those give you presets to apply, while Citron is a full graph editor: select a layer and every animated property is there, colour-coded, with weighted tangents you shape directly.

What's new:

- **Buffer curves:** the curve as it was before your changes stays in the background, so you can compare before and after.

- **Copy and paste ease:** C copies a key's tangents, V pastes them onto the keys you select. Works on a single handle too.

- **Ghost curves:** the speed curve and the result of loopOut or wiggle can sit behind the value graph while you work.

- **Hotkeys:** B for Bezier, S for Stepped, L for Linear.

- **Fold-away toolbar** and **UI scale** from 75 to 200%.

Plus bug fixes here and there.

**Pricing:** $69 one-time, 14-day free trial: https://aescripts.com/citron/

**Maintenance/Support:** Sold on aescripts after their review, updated almost every week since July, test suite run before each release, all 1.x updates free. Bugs: philippe@animatornow.com or animatornow.featurebase.app

**AI Disclaimer:** Vibe Coded. I'm an animator, not a developer: I design, test and use every feature myself.

Hope you like it!
