KeyTweak

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’.

While Tracker2Mask is useful to create masks, KeyTweak can be used to modify them once they are created. 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’.

Furthermore, with KeyTweak you cannot only modify masks but any other keyframed property. You can for example also use it to correct a drifting track or quickly refine the keyframed movement of a layer.

Hi Mathias,

Hallo Nils,
das kommt darauf an, wie du das script startest und wie du es “installiert” hast.
Wenn du es einfach �ber “file->scripting->run script” ausf�hrst, wird es in einem separaten Fenster gestartet und du kannst diese Art Fenster auch nicht in dein Interface integrieren. Wenn du es in den “script UI Panels” ordner kopierst und �ber window->keytweak startest (siehe Infos zur Script-Installation auf aescripts.com), hast du es auch in einem separaten Fenster, dieses ist dann aber ein “dockable panel” dass du einfach in dein Hauptfenster hineinziehen kannst.

Bei mir öffnet sich das Script in einem seperaten Fenster. Bei dir wird es jedoch in einem Rahmen angezeigt… Muss das so sein, oder wie kann man es zu den anderen Rahmen “schieben”?

Sonst aber tolle Tutorials

@mathias: click on the blue “add to card” button. Then choose the amount of money you like to donate (can be set to 0$, but if you like my scripts I recommend to give something .
