A fast machine means you wait less.
But with automated workflows, your machine waits less for you.
Write Your Own Tools
Instead of programming code, the tools are based on blocks – creating tools feels more like playing with Lego bricks than doing actual programming. It's when you start to customize the example tools to do what you need, or even write your own tools from scratch, that the magic really begins!
Change Anything in the Ae Project
Import footage, change comps and layers, render – you can do anything with Automation Blocks.
Create Custom User Interfaces
Create custom dialogs with text and number inputs, checkboxes, dropdown lists, and file pickers.
Manage Your Files
You can manage everything – not just in your Ae project, but also on your hard drive! Create folder structures for your project, clean up, or backup files.
Work with Spreadsheets
Read and write spreadsheet and text files – Automation Blocks makes working with files effortless.
Work with Keyframes
Working with keyframes is as easy as copy & paste. And with smart keyframe adjustment, newly inserted keyframes adjust to existing ones!
Support for Keyboard Shortcuts, Kbar and Quick Menu
Execute any Automation Blocks tool with a keyboard shortcut, or launch it with tools like Kbar or Quick Menu.

I don't use many addons but the few tend to be very focused utilities. However, this looks stunning. And open beta right now. Take a what was a kids intro to programming and make a function builder in AE. From @mamoworld https://t.co/UBQNH0TOoH https://t.co/qmWlRNuVC0

Children using Scratch will now be able to use After Effects much more easily. In addition, thanks to this, AFX has moved on.

Artık Scratch kullanan çocuklar çok daha rahat After Effects kullanabilecekler. Ayrıca bu sayede AFX çağ atlamış. https://t.co/aRVeR0eP3p
This tool seems to put an end to the frustration that is working with Javascript in order to automate tasks in After Effects, and also looks so beginner-friendly: you just need to learn the logic instead of all the ugly JS syntax. https://t.co/ljs8gpRHjI

Every day, #AutomationBlocksAe gets stronger and larger. I believe I'll delete a lot of my scripts and simply utilize Automation Block going forward. I appreciate all of your work. Thank you @mamoworld
