Today i’m proud to finaly say that sParticular v1 is done and released. It has been ready for a few days now, but I was waiting for the new aescripts.com version that Lloyd was preparing behind curtains.

The new aescript.com will be an online ressource for scripts, but not only from Lloyd anymore. He has opened his website to script developers, and I’m sure it will become an even more important place for scripts addicts.

So be sure to check aescripts.com/sparticular and sParticular homeland. Hope you’ll enjoy it !

Ever wondered who hides behind Zorro’s mask ? Well i can now tell you: it’s Lloyd Alvarez. Only him could create 2 scripts in a row to help lost AE users. Oh yes !

His new script allows you to add a parented null to each of the selected layers, and you can even customize the name. If you need parented nulls, go check it.

POSTED IN News VFX, Photo, Video | Commentaires fermés TAGS : , , , , ,


Today has been quite a beautiful day, and I took the opportunity to try to shoot some timelaps videos, and, as you guessed it, I tried shooting clouds. How lame and unoriginal is this ? Nontheless, it was quite easy to setup and after a few trials and errors, I was able to shoot my very first timelapse video.

The cool thing is i’m going to share it with you (in 2 flavors: 4K, or full HD, you can check the framing difference in the videos above), so if you find it usefull, you can use it inside your projects. But before clicking on the download link, i’d like to adress some mendatory legal stuff:

AE Tip of the Day

To create animation, you can also "sketch" a motion path.

With the Motion Sketch panel open, select a layer in the Composition or Timeline panel.

Click Start Capture and sketch a motion path in the Composition panel.
As you draw the motion path, After Effects generates position keyframes, recording the speed at which you move.
