Masks to Cropped Layers II is a utility that helps to animate vector graphics, as well as improving the performance of vfx compositing. It works on layers that have multiple masks, for example when artwork is pasted from Illustrator, or when areas are tracked in Mocha.  Each mask is copied to a new solid (for animation) or used to create a pre-comp. Each new layer is cropped to the size of the mask, providing flexibility for animation while dramatically improving performance.

Automatic Whiteboard converts After Effects text layers and masks into write-on animations, automatically! Just type in some text, or draw some masks, and then click a button. Instant whiteboard-style animation, with or without a hand to draw it on.

AutoMatte batch pre-composes RGB multimattes, into individual pre-comps with a transparent background.
