FAQ

"Where can I get help?"

The best way to get help is by asking questions in the community forum (not in the comments product page), there are also tutorials (the tutorials of the old script also apply to this product) and a product user guide website.

"Can Automation Toolkit do ____?"

Probably yes, Automation Toolkit is made to be as versatile as it can be so you can create almost any idea although if the idea is complicated the automation will probably also be complicated to create.
It's worth checking out the supported properties and actions or asking in the community forum.

"Is Automation Toolkit difficult to use?"

Creating complex automations can be quite difficult in a way that it initially requires you learning the basic and advanced tools that help turn the idea into a working algorithm.
Creating basic automations is very simple.
The user interface is very intuitive and easy to navigate through.

"Are there any pre-made automations?"
‌

There are currently relatively few pre-made automations but there are a few that come with the product and several other automations in the community forum that other people have shared.
The number is relatively low because usually the automations that are shared in the forum are complex and built to be useful for many different use cases while many of the automations that are made answer a specific problem in the project.
I encourage people to share their automations in the forum.

"Can Automation Toolkit export regular .jsx script files?"

No, but you can run and share automations for free using the free version where you can store up to 10 automations at the same time. The free version includes all the best features from the paid version.
if you want to share automations with your colleagues who don't have the pro version just ask them to install the free version and they will be able to use your 10 best automations.

"I own the old version do I get the new version for free?"

Yes! If you own the old version, but for some reason it still asks you to buy the pro version, please submit a support ticket.

Technical Capabilities

Loop

The loop purpose is to go through items and run the same operations on all of them.
Loop enables you to run operations on all the layers, compositions, footages, keyframes.
You can add an automation line inside the loop so as you run the automation the loop will run it’s automation lines on all specified items.

Sometimes, we need to perform different automations based on different conditions.

The if automation line purpose is to add logic to your automations so you can make automations that take effect only on specific items.

Set

set the value of any property that can be changed by the user. First you have to specify which property to set and then specify what the new value of this property should be.
Set can run mathematical calculations of many properties or custom values.

Action

The action automation line will do a function on Layers/Items/Keyframes.
The functions enable to do manipulations that not connected to any property,
for example - duplicate, delete, replace, and more.

Message & List box

The message automation line displays a window with a specified message and an OK button.
Message can show most of the properties of Layers/Project Items/Keyframes combined with a custom text.

Message can also be used to make a list of text data from specific properties.

The list box automation line displays a window with a specified list of messages and an OK button.

List Box messages can be copied as plain text to any other application.

Variable

Variable automation line can contain every type of object:
Number,Text,Layer,Item,Property,Boolean.
Variable purpose is to save custom value of any kind of object
for later use.
Some properties can be accessed only inside a loop
so if you want to use this value outside of the loop
you have to save it inside a variable.

Limitations:

After Effects with a different language other than english not fully supported and some properties won't work as expected (menu command, position when the dimensions are separated, x,y,z rotation when 3d).
Some Keyframe Properties can't be changed (keyframe interpolation, toggle hold keyframe), the value of the keyframe can be changed.
Shapes and Masks are not supported and cannot be accessed.
Text Layers - only source text, font, font size and justification are supported, text animators are not supported too.
