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.
