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.

Add, convert, matte, round and rotate corner pins.

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

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.

Loops any layers, footage or comps with one click™

Creates equirectangular projection maps with 286 separate countries (masks on solids) under 178 jurisdictions (pre-comps). It comes with the “AEMap Utilities” which contains tools for dealing with a bunch of layers and nested comps.

Batch edit all layer marker attributes on selected layers. Also has an option to export the marker to a text file.

Set start and end times for render queue items

When you copy a mask from one layer to another it often changes its position. With CopyMask2Layer you can copy masks while keeping them perfectly in place – even if the layers are moving and if the mask path is keyframed.

Add barndoors to After Effects lights for controlled theatrical lighting.

Use this tool to queue your comp with the work area set as a custom duration. This way you can set several work areas to one queue and render them all at once.

Isolates layers in your comp based on what modifier keys are held down. Adds a bug to the comp to indicate being in “Isolate” mode. Focus on the layers you want.

SaveCompAsProject is a script that, as it’s names says, export any of your composition as a new project.

Corner Cutters do the donkey work. You focus on the good stuff. A collection of utility scripts to make your life easier in After Effects.
Use the toolbar or use individual scripts in your own workflow.

This script converts image files into a binary text string that can be embedded as text into the source code of your script.

OpenSesame brings backwards compatibility to After Effects, exporting projects that can be opened in any version from CS3 or later. Projects are exported as human readable text files that can also be edited in a text editor or spreadsheet in various ways, such as changing text layers, colors, footage and file paths.

A dockable, searchable panel that contains a reference to all the After Effects keyboard shortcuts.

Rename items project wide in After Effects with as much ease or power as you want.

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.

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

Imports karaoke subtitles from the Substation Alpha (.ssa/.ass) or KaraFun (.kfn) file formats, creating new text layers with user designed text animation.

Edge blending is a clever solution to build up panoramic projections with 2 or more projectors. This script will create the necessary comps for you render and be able to create this using standard video projectors.

The stereo 3d toolkit allows you to create complex stereoscopic compositions inside of after effects. It uses true left and right channels (instead of collapse transformations) so it is compatible with all 3d effects and plug-ins that use composition cameras.

This script has 2 core functions. The first, Pins To Nulls, creates and places nulls where AE Puppet Tool pins are located on the selected layer. The second , Loop Precomp, does exactly what the name implies. It was designed to automate the process of looping animation cycles.

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 by replacing footage items and adding text supplied by the spreadsheet automatically.

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.

Provides a tool box for visualizing positional data. This script is indispensable if you do any kind of serious tracking in After Effects

Creates a parented null for each of the selected layers. The new null can have a custom name defined in the User Variables section and also has the option of including the name of the layer that is parented to it.

Displays a palette with controls for changing the size, pixel aspect ratio, duration, and frame rate of the selected compositions, and all nested compositions (pre-comp layers) in it.
