thanks
ok gracias!
Thanks for that script. It really save my day.
I’m new to expressions in after, so i’m no afraid to ask:
“in this script it is possible to animate the range and posicion of layers?”
Thanks for help
Hey Lloyd
Is this script CS4′ed? It’s well worth keeping in the arsenal. Doesn’t appear to work under the new version of AE.
Thanks for the brilliant work man.
trev
Thanks mate!
You are the man, This and the 3D text in space layer just saved me mad hours behind the keyboard.
Thanks a ton
Is there a way to tell the script not to randomize, but instead say spread the layers apart 10 pixels in any given axis? I tried removing the times math. random expression but it just move them all to a specified distance.
@Enrique – The script is designed to randomize position. I might consider writing a direct script that spreads instead of randomizing in the future.
Very nine！
see http://aescripts.com/distributelayers
what’s the difference?
@Vladimir – Functionally they are the same. Nab’s DistributeLayers has a nice UI which is great but it also requires CS4. This script works with AE7, CS3 and CS4. If you have CS4 you should definitely check out Nab’s script.
Lloyd, i’m pretty sure i downloaded many of your scripts a while ago for free from your site…did you change your mind and decided to charge for them???
@Alfonso – scripts are still free. The amount added is only a suggested donation.
Hi, aescripts.com – da best. Keep it going!
Thank you
Using CS3
I can see the script in the windows menu but The 3D_Layer_distributor box is empty when I apply it. It does randomize the layer but I have no control on it.
I also tried file>run script…
@Nick – This script does not have a UI, to change the settings you need to double click the script .jsx file which will open it in ExtendScript Toolkit. You then change the settings which are clearly labeled at the top of the script and save the file. Then you can run it in AE (you DONT need to restart AE after changing the settings so you can bounce back and forth until you get the results you want)
do you have to apply this to every individual layer? is there away to distribute multiple layers with one application of the script?
@Josh – The script works on selected layers, so select the layers you want to distribute and run the script.

how can I change the settings of 3D_layer_distributor.jsx in the ExtendScript Toolkit so it will run properly in AE
If you double-click the script file it should open in ExtendScript Toolkit. If it doesn’t then open ExtendScript Toolkit first and choose File->Open and open the script that way. The settings to be changed are at the top of the script and clearly labeled. You can also watch the tutorial linked at the top to see it being done.
These scripts usually work in the system widowns 32-bit?
After buying the script how do I get?
By mail or otherwise?
