After Effects Scripts » David Torno Scripts http://aescripts.com A useful collection of scripts for Adobe After Effects Thu, 29 Jul 2010 03:07:37 +0000 en hourly 1 TimeSpan http://aescripts.com/timespan/ http://aescripts.com/timespan/#comments Tue, 06 Jul 2010 14:00:08 +0000 David Torno http://aescripts.com/?p=2262 TimeSpan is a “Punch Clock” style time tracker. Originally built as a way to keep track of my own hours and pay when I was a freelancer. I have now modified it and am now making it available to the AE community. I hope you find it a useful tool.

Features:

  • Exports a .TXT (tab delimited) file to the folder of your choice.
  • Can log by Client Name or Project Name.
  • Logs your clock in time, clock out time, total hours, hourly pay rate and total pay
  • Can log multiple entries per document.
  • Reset button to clear accidental start time.

NOTE: As I always state in my manuals, computers can act up from time to time and if they crash, there is nothing I can do about that, so always pay attention to your pay and hours separately from this script and don’t make this script your only option to track your time and pay. ;)

Why use this instead of the built in “Collect” feature of After Effects? Well, Project Info List Exporter gives you options to actually customize your list allowing you to export a list of ONLY the missing files in your project as well as a list of just stills, comps, videos, audio or any combination you choose. You can even list every asset in your entire project if need be.

Labels options:
You can label assets by type…

  • Folders
  • Comps
  • Videos
  • Stills
  • Audio

Info options:
You can add asset info like…

  • Missing
  • File path location of asset
  • Comments you’ve made on asset in the Project panel
  • Missing Only option: Export only the missing assets in your project

File Formats:
You can export your list as…

  • Text File
  • Tab Delimited File
  • Comma Delimited File (.csv)

NOTE: A spreadsheet application, like Excel, is required to view tab delimited (.txt) or comma delimited (.csv) files correctly.

List Header:
All list exports will have a header that includes…

  • Project file name
  • Version of After Effects currently used at time of export
  • Version of operating system currently used at time of export
  • The date and time of export
  • A legend key will also appear if any of the “Label” or “Info” options are used

Options:

  • Use Frames for your adjustments.
  • Use Seconds for your adjustments.
  • Can independently adjust heads or tails

Note:

  • After Effects will not allow access locked layers in a composition timeline. This script will warn user before unlocking any layers.

Side Note:

  • The clown face looking interface was an accident, but I decided to keep it anyway, it’s fun looking. :)
