What It Does
Doppler connects your music streaming service to the After Effects timeline. When you hit play to preview your work, your music automatically pauses. Stop the timeline, and your music resumes. It replaces the manual dance between your timeline and media keys with automatic synchronization.
Key Features
Pause or Duck Mode. Choose complete silence when reviewing work, or switch to Duck Mode to lower music volume instead of stopping it entirely.
Timeline hotkey. Map Doppler to your spacebar or any custom key. One press controls both your timeline and streaming app simultaneously. Your original spacebar functionality stays intact.
Floating media controls. Play, pause, skip tracks, and adjust settings from a panel inside After Effects without switching to your music app.
Multi-service support. Works with Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, Soundcloud, YouTube, and YouTube Music. Desktop apps and Chrome web players are both supported.
Who It’s For
Useful for editors and motion designers who listen to music while working but need to hear their project audio during previews. Removes the friction of constantly muting or pausing music manually.
Currently macOS only. Windows support is in development.
