Scott Black

Scott Black is a motion designer and developer with over a decade of professional experience producing broadcast-quality animation and visual effects for clients in the UK and abroad. Alongside production work, he builds high-performance workflow tools for After Effects that are designed for the demands of professional artists and studios. His plugins, including Control Groups, Compstronaut and Select Every Other Layer, are all powered by a shared native companion engine that extends the standard After Effects SDK to enable advanced features such as global shortcut management and efficient state tracking across multiple extensions. Together they form the foundation of a growing platform focused on making complex timelines faster, more consistent and easier to control.
