Creates a complete duplicate of a comp hierarchy including sub-comps.  If a comp is used multiple times, the comp only gets duplicated once and all remaining references point to the first duplicate.  If the comps are arranged in a special folder hierarchy in the project panel, that folder hierarchy is preserved or duplicated (depending on user preference) for the duplicated comps.

New in version 3:

• Updated GUI
• Updates expressions
• Multiple copies
• Depth limit
• Duplicates Footage Items

Like the name already reveals, Multicolore is a vibrant multi-colored typeface. It's based on a rounded modular design system. The lively animations perfectly compliment the multitude of colors. For a more minimal look, simply bring it back to a single color, and turn off secondary animations like the splashes and background circle.

Shape Motion lets you easily create motion paths in various shapes (circles, rectangles, polygons, hearts, etc...) and animate their properties

             

Instructions:

1. Choose a layer you want to animate
2. Select the Layer Name if you want to animate it's position
   
   • Choose Position
3. Or select a Property with 2 or more values
   
   • Choose Custom Property
4. Choose the Motion Type you want
   
   • Circle
   • Rectangle
   • Multi-Sided Polygon
   • Heart
   • Astroid
   • Loops
5. Click Create Shape Motion
   • There will now be a new Control Null in your composition. This will have all the effects that you can control for your shape

After running the tool, you will be able to animate many parameters of your new shape. These include:

• Radius
• Speed
• Number of Sides
• Easing
• Beginning/Ending Points
• Rotation
• Scale

Included in the download are full descriptions of all the properties that Shape Motion can control.

Align to Path allows you to attach and align layers to single or multiple motion paths. Like Magic!

How to use:

1. Select the layer(s) you want to attach to a motion path
2. Add to your selection any masks you want to use as a motion path (IMPORANT - Select the Mask NAME, not the Mask PATH)
3. Run the script.

Interface Options:

• Keep Position Offset
  Keep the layer at it's current position
• Auto-Orient to Path
  Should the layer by automatically oriented while following the path
  (Note: Auto-Orient only works after an initial keyframe is created on the Motion Path Complete slider)
• Updating Paths
  Every path you add will show up in this list
  
  To update them do the following:
  1. Edit the original Mask Path (The path can not be animated)
  2. Select the Mask(s) you want to update in the GUI
  3. Click Update
  
  All your connected layers should jump to their new positions
  Any existing keyframes will stay in place
  
  Use the "Clear" button to empty the list
  (This is necessary if you undo the adding of a motion path)

Control:

• Motion Path Completion
  Animate through all of your paths sequentially
  When this is activated, the sliders for individual paths have no effect
• Complete Sequentially
  How far along on the motion path(s) the layer is. Range 0→100
• One slider per motion path
  You can animate what % you want each motion path to contribute
  If all sliders are set to 0, then you can set a keyframe like normal on your layer

Things to keep in mind:

• The sliders are only valid in the range of 0 100. If the slider is moved outside this range, it will get calculated as 0 or 100
  (All sliders are normalized to 100% -- The values are added together, and divided by the # of sliders.)
• The script makes a null per each of your motion paths. However, they are put as the last layers in your comp, locked, hidden, and set to shy mode
• If the Mask Layer is rotated or scaled, motion paths will not reflect this (the same as when copying a mask in the interface)
• Even with Orient Along Path selected, you can still animate the rotation of the layer like normal
• When using Complete Sequentially, the masks will complete in alphabetical order

Lets you combine two different layers into a single layer with a different front and back.

How to use:

• Select the 2 layers you want to combine. (The first layer you select is the front, the second is the back)
• You have the option to keep the 2 layers within the current composition, or have them placed into a precomposition.
• Run the script.

Details on "Current Composition" option:

• Both layers will stay as separate layers in the current composition.
• You can rotate both layers by rotating the front layer. (The back layer will be parented to it)

Details on "Precomposition" option:

• Both layers will be moved into a precomposition
• There will be 3 slider effects on the new precomposition layer (Rotate X, Rotate Y, Rotate Z)
• Use these sliders to control the rotation of combined layers
• Do not rotate the precomposition layer

Things to keep in mind:

• If you have a camera present in your scene, you can not parent it to another layer.
• You still have the ability to change the transparency of the front or the back layer like normal. The layers will simply switch between your new value and 0, depending on how it is rotated.

Create presets for keyframes. You can then copy and paste these keyframes throughout your composition, as well as import/export them for transfer between projects.

1. Select all the keyframes you want copied
2. Type a new name for your preset, and click on "Copy Preset"
3. Position your time slider where they should go
4. Choose the preset from the drop down list, and click on "Paste Preset"

To delete a preset, choose the preset from the drop down list, and click on "Delete Preset"
To delete all presets, click on "Delete All Presets"

Known issues:

• It can not work with plugins or effects that have custom values for keyframes. ex.(Levels - Histogram, Hue/Saturation - Channel Range, etc.)
• If a keyframe has temporal Auto-Bezier set, it will not paste correctly to a new keyframe

Smart copy and paste keyframes from multiple layers at the same time.

Has the option to be run with or without an interface so that it can be used with ft-Toolbar
To run with GUI install in ScriptUI Panels folder, to run GUI-less install in Scripts folder

Usage

1. Select all the keyframes you want to copy
2. Move your time slider to where you want the first keyframe to be placed
3. Click on Paste

Options

Do not copy checkbox:

This is an option useful if you have lots and lots of keyframes (100's or 1000's on an individual layer)

By checking this box, two things will happen when you paste your keyframes

1. The keyframes will paste much, much faster
2. You will NOT paste any easing/temporal/spatial properties with your keyframes
   (This option is mainly for when you have lots of keyframes from tracking, motion capture, etc. and the keyframe interpolation is not necessary)

Running without an interface:

If you have installed it to run without an interface (such as using it with ft-Toolbar), it will default to copying/pasting all easing/temporal/spatial properties and pasting one loop

Custom values:

It can not work with plugins or effects that have custom values for keyframes. ex.(Levels - Histogram, Hue/Saturation - Channel Range, etc.)

What is Layer Converter

Layer Converter automatically converts selected layers to Null objects or Point Lights. Minimalist design makes use of the script as simple as possible. Just one click is needed!

Features

- Works with all types of layers.
- Converts multiple layers at once.
- Works with 2D and 3D layers.
- Copies every type of keyframe.
- Converts selected layers to Null objects or Point Lights.
- Copies rotation, position and orientation (from 3D layer) of selected layers.
- Changes Light's name to 'Emitter #(index number)'
- Brings back the layer order

Point Lights are prepared for Trapcode Particular. Each Light’s name will be changed to ‘Emitter’ with a suffix from the index number.

Script is also perfect for Plexus. You can replace every type of a layer to Null Object or Light for adding a geometry.

Reviews

I was working for a client that had a grid as part of their brand identity. In order to animate it using Plexus I had to convert a large number of shape layers to null objects. Couldn't have done it without Layer Converter!

AfterCodecs is a native render queue plugin for After Effects that allows you to render directly to the codecs listed below.

Need to render ProRes on Windows?

Want to render directly to a small file size, high quality H264 straight from the After Effects render queue?

AfterCodecs can do it without requiring any intermediate step!

Please read the Known Limitations + F.A.Q. below and use the 500 Frames Trial before buying

Codecs

• ProRes : 422 LT / Proxy / Normal / HQ (10 bit) and even 4444 that supports Alpha Channel.
• x264 : best H264 / AVC implementation, outperforming both Adobe Media Encoder and QuickTime H264.
• x265 : files are 30% lighter than x264 and it also supports 8K resolution.
• x264 RGB : same as x264 but avoids YUV colorspace, best for storing separate channels in one video (UV map, Alphas...) for power users only.
• HAP GPU accelerated codecs : Hap, Hap Alpha and Hap Q, you can choose if you want to compress frames and how many chunks you need.

x26* codecs also support lossless encoding in which there is no compression artifacts, keeping the original data intact

Comparison with AME

AfterCodecs will create a smaller, better looking file directly in the After Effects render queue. What's not to love?

Tutorials

{{video type="youtube" video_id="AxkqdNZFKPk"}}

How to install

Use the aescripts + aeplugins manager application and follow the instructions given in the .pdf included in the archive. ffmpeg installation can be done automatically in AfterCodecs or manually by downloading the zip below.

Known Limitations

• Don't use the ProRes for broadcast. Always test your hardware and software. It is a reverse engineered version of ProRes not approved by Apple ; for example ProRes 4444 Alpha channel not accepted by Blackmagic Hyperdeck Studio Mini.
• If the content is complex (with small repetitive patterns in background for example etc.), AfterCodecs' ProRes has a hard time matching the official Apple bitrate : files can be 50% bigger but they will also be of higher quality. If that happens, you can try to step down the profile (e.g. choose Normal over HQ)
• For x264 Quality < 100 and x265, dimensions of the video must be even (odd resolutions will fail)
• Alpha renders (ProRes 4444 and Hap) don't store the Alpha mode, by default when reimported in AE the footage will be in "Straight" Mode
• There's a slight color shift when ProRes videos are played in Quicktime Player and VLC (but no color shift when the video is re-imported in AE)
• ProRes 422 always have a soundtrack even if you don't render sound (for AE OSX compatibility)
• There seem to be an issue with High DPI screens on OSX (4K / 5K), press SHIFT+ESC to put the window back in the top left corner

F.A.Q.

• There's an issue with my render, what should I do ?
  Please open a new ticket about AfterCodecs, don't forget to send the .log file generated by AfterCodecs !
  
• The ffmpeg download doesn't work, what should I do ?
  Please follow the manual instruction in the .pdf given with the AfterCodecs downloaded archive\
• Quicktime doesn't play my video !
  Be sure to be using x264 (and not x264 RGB or x265), a maximum of 1920x1080 resolution. If it still doesn't work, choose the H264 Main Profile
• Can I use my own ffmpeg command line ?
  Not yet, sorry. If you want to discuss this feature and what you need, please open a new ticket :) 
• Can I have a preview of the final file size ?
  Not yet but this a planned feature don't worry
• Is x264 different from H264 ?
  H264 is the norm and x264 a software encoder that implements H264, faster and of better quality than encoders from Adobe or Quicktime
• How do I render in 16 bit per channel ?
  Be sure to set your AE project in 16 bpc, it will export to AfterCodecs in 16 bpc (even if you select "Millions of Colors" instead of "Trillions of Colors")
• Where is the Hap codec ?
  Select "Hap (Alpha)" and export in RGB in the AE settings. Exporting in RGB+Alpha will automatically switch the codec to Hap Alpha.
• Is a compatibility with CS5 / CS6 planned ?
  No

See "Version History" tab.

System Requirements

• Windows 7 and higher
  
• OSX 10.10 and higher
  

Skydome creates a 3D environment for your After Effects compositions at the touch of a button. The environment then responds to your camera's position, orientation, rotation and lens properties.

With your composition selected, simply run the script. A background composition is created with a default pattern inside. Simply drop an HDRI image or any other material into this composition and it will become the environment for your After Effects comp.

Install this script in the Scripts folder. It does not have a dockable UI.

Named after the city district located where the old Western Gate of Copenhagen used to be, Vesterbro is an attractive serif face from Black[Foundry]. It is the brainchild of Jérémie Hornus, who developed the type family in collaboration with Alisa Nowak and Ilya Naumoff. Jeroen Krielaars animated two of the twelve weights.

The core design of the Vesterbro family is the Poster weight. The imaginative high-contrast typeface combines characteristics from Scottish and Garalde models. Vesterbro Poster is warmer than most Didot-inspired display faces. It has friendly, organic shapes, with a generous x-height and short serifs. Its tilted axis and supple curves lend Vesterbro Poster an inviting, jovial personality; just look at that radiant smile on the lowercase ‘e,’ or how the ampersand licks the next word.

Pleasantly readable in text sizes and attention-grabbing when used big, Vesterbro is a versatile type family for global communication that can be applied to any design project, from editorial design and graphic identities to advertising, branding and packaging.
