Unrender 1.0.0 for Mac
Mac UtilitiesRendering a clip flat is a one way door in most editors. Once a shot has been rendered and replaced, the effects and layers underneath are locked away, and a small client change can mean rebuilding the whole shot. Unrender is a small utility sold through aescripts that tackles that moment. It helps bring rendered clips back to their original editable state.
Key Features
- Restores rendered clips back toward their original editable form
- Helps recover compositions hidden under a render and replace step
- Lets you change effects and settings after a client review
- Saves the time of rebuilding a finished shot from scratch
- Fits into a normal After Effects project workflow on Mac

- Run the installer or follow the included steps for your host application.
- Open your project, select a rendered clip, and run Unrender before making your changes.
System Requirements
Unrender works with projects on macOS inside its supported host application, so you need that host app installed and a Mac that meets its requirements. Keep your original project files and footage in place, as restored clips still depend on them.
FAQs
When would I need Unrender?
When a shot was flattened to save render time and someone later asks for a change. Restoring the editable version is far faster than rebuilding it.
Does it bring back deleted source files?
No tool can restore files that are gone from your disk. Unrender works with the project and media you still have, so keep your project archive complete.
Should I save a copy before using it?
Yes. Save a version of the project first, the same good habit that applies before any big project wide change.
