Search for and edit text layers throughout your After Effects project. You can create your own text style presets and apply them to multiple layers at the click of a button.
Makes multiple versions of your compositions using information from a spreadsheet or database. The script goes through your spreadsheet line by line, making a new version of your comp with text layers in the composition receiving text from the spreadsheet automatically.
A smart import and batch replace tool that greatly improves the workflow of importing and replacing files especially file sequences and highly nested hierarchies.
Batch process folders of After Effects project and search and replace file paths. This can come in handy if you are moving a project to a different folder structure like a new server. You can also use it to batch replace files in many projects at once.
Converts a panoramic image into a 3D cylinder that can be used as a background in a 3D composition
Batch process the selected project items. For instance, it can be used to resize and apply the same preset to a collection of movies or comps.
Loops any layers, footage or comps with one click™
Goes through the currently selected composition, and any precomp contained within and checks every text layer for proper spelling.
A floating palette that lets you search for effects throughout a project.
Arranges project items into folders based on a matching prefix.
We are very happy to announce that Lloyd Alvarez will be teaching an introduction to After Effects scripting class at fxphd.com this term.
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.
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.
Adds markers, splits a layer or adds a new text layer with incrementing numbers based on audio intensity.
Provides a tool box for visualizing positional data. This script is indispensable if you do any kind of serious tracking in After Effects
sParticular is a script that helps you with 3D integration when using Trapcode Particular.
This plugin allows you to move, rotate, scale, blur, blend and fade the RGB channels independently.
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.
A Pixel Bender Plugin designed to create Realistic Bad TV Distortion based on the algorithm written by Memo Atken. Compatible only with CS4 Win/Mac.
Align all layers in a composition evenly on a line between 2 nulls with delay controls for animation.
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.
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.
Automatically detects edits in footage. Like Magic. Crazy, we know.
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.
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.
Creates a 3D box, a 3D sphere, a 3D cylinder, a 3D pyramid, a 3D menger sponge and even 3D falling dominoes with user-defined layers.
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.
Zorro makes selection and isolation sets easy and possible in after effects by adding tags to layers. Similar to the way you would tag photos in Flickr, you can tag layers in your comps and then select or isolate those layers in groups by using the tags.
Allows you to render your Render Queue items in the background while you can continue working in After Effects.
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’.
