A powerful collection of open-source ScriptUI panels and utilities designed to accelerate your Adobe After Effects workflow.
This repository contains 12 dockable utility scripts designed to solve daily pain points for motion designers.
- Project Auto-Organizer: Scans the project bin and automatically files items into neat folders (Audio, Images, Video, Comps, Solids) based on file extensions.
- Slideshow Builder: Instantly arranges layers into a sequential slideshow with custom durations, fades, and complex transitions.
- Layer Randomizer: Randomly shifts the start times of selected layers to create organic, staggered animations.
- Advanced Sequencer: Staggers or sequences layers back-to-back with precise frame offsets and ordering controls.
- Expression Injector: A quick panel to inject common expressions (Wiggle, Loop Out, Inertia Bounce) into selected properties without typing.
- Expression Baker: Automatically finds every single property running an expression on selected layers and natively bakes them into standard keyframes.
- Anchor Point Manager: A 3x3 grid UI that snaps layer anchor points to 9 different sectors without moving the layer's visual position.
- Auto Text Box: Creates a dynamic shape layer that perfectly wraps behind your selected text, automatically resizing when the text changes. - WORK IN PROGRESS
- Text Splitter: Takes a single text layer and duplicates it into separate layers based on individual words or lines.
- Subtitle Importer: Reads a standard
.srtfile and generates a text layer with Hold keyframes perfectly synced to the timestamps.
- Master Color Controller: Links all color properties in selected layers to a single Master Color Null via expressions for global brand updates.
- Color Palette Extractor: Samples colors from an image layer and generates a clean 5-color solid shape palette in your composition.
