Free to download, Quick New is a helpful After Effects script that makes your work faster and easier. Instead of going through menus or remembering complex shortcuts, you can create new layers with just one click. Add solids, text, adjustment layers, nulls, shapes, cameras, or lights instantly.

It also lets you rename layers as you create them, so your timeline stays clean and organized — no more “Solid 1” or “Null 5.” Quick New works on both Windows and Mac and helps you save time on every project.
