After Effects Scripts

Export a document listing of your After Effects project assets

Helps speeding up the workflow and lets you work more intuitively with Adobe AfterEffects. The basic idea is to compress a sequence of frequently performed steps into one single step.

A smart import and batch replace tool that greatly improves the workflow of importing and replacing files especially file sequences and highly nested hierarchies.

Creates a complete duplicate of a comp hierarchy including subcomps.

Arranges project items into folders based on a matching prefix.

Version 1.5 now supports After Effects CS5!

A centralized location for you to store all your expressions. When you apply an expression from the toolbox, it will rename and/or create any necessary controllers so the expression works properly.

Allows you to get the look of LCD (or you may see like CRT) like effect in 1-click.

Automatically detects edits in footage. Like Magic. Crazy, we know.

This is a Pixel bender plugin that allows for quick and easy lens distortion correction or effects including chromatic aberration.

Creates a 3D box, a 3D sphere, a 3D cylinder, a 3D pyramid, a 3D menger sponge, a 3D Platonic Solid and even 3D falling dominoes with user-defined layers.

Takes a layer in your comp and breaks it into pieces. You choose the size of the pieces, whether to animate in order or random, and how long you want the transition to take.

This plugin allows you to move, rotate, scale, blur, blend and fade the RGB channels independently.

Have you ever animated a mask with 100 keyframes and then modified each of them by hand to correct some errors? With KeyTweak it suffices to modify one or two keyframes and the other keyframes are automatically changed ‘accordingly’.

Displays a palette of the installed scripts in the selected Scripts folder (and subfolders). Only scripts with .js, .jsx, and .jsxbin extensions are displayed. Double-click a script to launch it.

Goes through the currently selected composition, and any precomp contained within and checks every text layer for proper spelling.

Loops any layers, footage or comps with one click™

Data Glitch is a native After Effects plugin that creates awesome realistic digital image glitches with total ease.

XML Gibson is a script that allows you to export your composition to XML files.

A native After Effects plugin designed to create Realistic Bad TV Distortion.

Instantly turn layered Photoshop or Illustrator files into 3D multiplanes. It adds expressions that let you freely move layers on the z axis without changing the look of the shot from the original camera position, making it easy to experiment with depth in your scene.

Simplifies the workflow between Mocha and After Effects. More precisely, it helps you to apply the Mocha tracking data in After Effects in whatever way you want.

Ease and Wizz is a set of expressions for After Effects that give you more ways to interpolate between values. The obvious use is in motion, but they can be used on animated properties of any kind. They’re applied with an After Effects-ish palette that can be docked, so it’s very easy to use.

Creates a 3D environment for your After Effects compositions at the touch of a button. The environment then responds to your camera’s position, orientation, rotation and lens properties.

Renders each of the selected layers separately. You might find this script useful if layers represent different versions of an effect or different parts of an effect that you want to render as separate “passes” for flexibility in how they get composited.

Useful if you need to embed subtitles onto video for web or tape delivery. Import subtitles into After Effects using the same Text Script format use by Adobe Encore, then render with an alpha and import into your editing software, or use Dynamic Link to import directly into Premiere Pro.

Assists you to browse through color themes obtained from Adobe Kuler. Dynamically link any color property within your comp to a color of the color theme.

3D Widgets is a collection of scripts to make navigating the After Effects 3D space more intuitive.

This script displays a dialog box for pre-composing one or more layers (like the built-in Pre-compose dialog box), but adds the ability to trim the pre-comp to the selected layer’s duration, with optional trim handles.

TimeSpan is a “Punch Clock” style time tracker to help you keep track of your hours within After Effects.

Automatically fade, scale and rotate layers in and out
