Introducing: After Effects Script of the Week

A new series to boost your After Effects workflow

image

The most recent edition of After Effects Studio Techniques included a new sidebar category: scripts. Over the past several years since it was introduced in After Effects 6.0 , scripting in After Effects has gone from a hidden feature set that a few nerds played around with to reduce tedious tasks, to scripts that provide substantial feature additions in After Effects.

You could refer to scripts as hidden in plain sight, as these highly useful add-ons are now available to everyone, yet not everyone uses them or stays up-to-date with what is available for their use. This new series addresses that.

As something of an evangelist on behalf of the best scripts out there, my goal is to help anyone who uses After Effects - not just the power users - to incorporate these simple additions, one week at a time.

Most of the scripts featured here will link to aescripts.com as a central repository for scripts, where most of them are available as donation-ware. If you want to get moving faster incorporating scripts, browse the descriptions, add a script to your cart, and pay the suggested donation; it goes directly to the developer.
