Quick Overview

Will launch a project or template every time your start After Effects. For example, if you have a certain folder/file structure you like to keep for your AE projects, you can setup a virgin project the way you like it and save it as a template by giving it a .aet extension. Now every time you launch AE your custom setup will be automatically loaded.

Gives you a menu to load projects or templates from a designated folder.  If it is installed in the Scripts->Startup folder it will run every time After Effects starts up.

For example, if you have a certain folder/file structure or camera rig, etc that you like to keep for your AE projects, you can setup a virgin project the way you like it and save it as a template by giving it a .aet extension.  Now every time you launch AE your custom setup will be automatically loaded.

You can convert any after effects project to be a template by changing the file extension from .aep to .aet

    DuplicateLayers-n-UpdateExpressions

    Duplicates the selected layers and if any of the layers have expressions referencing any of the layers being duplicated it will update the expressions to point to the newly duplicated layers. Might make more sense if you watch the demo :-)
