- Editing of Keyframes and Layers Made Easy: This tool enhances After Effects by automating mundane actions such as the aligning, color coding, stretching, or staggering of respective keyframes or layers, all performed with a click of a button.
- Layers Panel: All the complex details concerning the layers are now handled in one area, thus improving organization efficiency.
- Staggered Linking and Unlinking: This feature provides enhanced control of the relationships between keyframes and layers. Also, you can stagger layers separately from their corresponding keyframes or group them for alteration at once.

- Maintaining Motion Curves: To ensure that one’s animation is not tampered with, these innovative tools carry calculations that cut edges when keyframes are manipulated to allow perfect steady curves.
- Speed Keyframes With Constant Rate: Attaining ease-in and ease-out has never been easier; click a button, and it is done. Other activities performed with Keystone 2 do not alter the perfect speed maintained.
