What It Does
Style Bandit transfers complete text styling between text layers in After Effects. Select a source text layer, copy its formatting, then paste to one or more target layers. All character attributes (font, size, tracking, etc.) and paragraph alignment settings transfer instantly. Works between compositions and even across different projects.
Key Features
Complete style transfer. Copies all font properties and paragraph alignment from the source layer. No manual retyping of font settings or hunting through character panels.
Multi-target pasting. Select multiple text layers and paste the copied style to all of them at once. Useful when standardizing title cards or updating multiple text elements to match a new style guide.
Cross-project compatibility. Copy a text style in one After Effects project and paste it into text layers in a completely different project. Helpful when maintaining consistent branding across separate deliverables.
Keyboard shortcuts. Map the copy and paste functions to custom keyboard shortcuts. The developers suggest Ctrl+Alt+C and Ctrl+Alt+V on Windows, or Cmd+Ctrl+C and Cmd+Ctrl+V on Mac, matching the familiar copy/paste pattern.
Who It’s For
Motion designers working with multiple text layers who need consistent styling without manual repetition. Particularly useful for title sequences, lower thirds, or any project where the same text formatting appears across many layers or comps.
Pricing
Style Bandit uses a pay-what-you-want model. Individual users can pay any amount (suggested minimum $9.99). Businesses and teams must pay the suggested price for a valid license. One-time purchase, compatible with After Effects 2021 through 2026.
