Very handy! Most FX houses ask for 8 frames of head ‘n tails. Now it’s easy to add the extra frames.

Hmm.. It’s a great idea, but personally i’m only going to use it for toying with – I feel i’m not using it to it’s full potential – Top job though!

  Hi Wesley, what set up are you using for this? I’m having no joy on a mac with CS4 and I could really do with it!

I don’t seem to be able to get this to work. nothing happens when I run it. I’m using CS4 on a mac, I’d appreciate any pointers from people who have had this problem.

  All you need to do is select the layers and run the script. I also just updated the script to add a UI to make it easier to change the amount of frames to add to the handles. Finally I added a demo video so you can see the script in action.
