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.

Time-reverse Following a request expressed on the AE mailing list, Lloyd, creator of aescripts.com, developed a quick script that time-reverse keyframes.
You may wonder why you would need a script to execute a standard feature of AE. Well think about this: that feature doesn’t have a shortcut, and you can assign a shortcut to a script. Imagine now that you need to do a lot of time-reversing and there you have it.

If you don’t know how to assign a shortcut to a script, be sure to check my Top 10 scripts post, where I explain how do it.

[Update/Maj] The script is now released and available here. Le script est fini et dispo ici

Lately i’ve been developing a little script for a project i’ve been working on, and now i’m enhancing it before releasing it to you guys. The script is called sParticular, and what it does is quite simple, but time saving.

If you are a Particular user, you know that this great plugin is 3D aware, but that it does not intersect with your 3D layers (you can select an obscuration layer, but it doesn’t work really well). sParticular will make your Particular particules intersect with your 3D layers.

This is how my particules looks with Particular standard behavior

The script is still in beta, and I hope to release it in the upcomming weeks. It will be a free of charge. But meanwhile, i’m looking for some beta testers to help me debug, and enhance the script.

If you are interested and if you have Particular plugin, be sure to drop me a message via the contact form of the site.

Ross Chain from the After Effect Mailing List pointed us to a new script from Mathias Möhl, the mastermind behind the Tracker2Mask and KeyTweak scripts, both of them pushing your tracking workflow to the next level.

MochaImport helps you importing the way you want, the Mocha tracker data, from the bundled Mocha tracker inside CS4, to the new standalone Mocha for After Effect v2. To run the script, you’ll need After Effects CS3 or CS4.

Seeing that only 5000 people downloaded the additional scripts for After Effects CS4, I wondered why people wouldn’t care for such great additional content. Seeing that so much people are still asking online for a way to change shortcuts inside AE made me wonders. How can it be that so many people are just not aware of scripts ? Are they affraid that it’s just « too comlicated»  ?

If you are not using scripts yet, or if you’ve just heard about them, then fear not. Scripts doesn’t require you much more than downloading them, and moving them into the right folders (see below on how to install scripts).

Scripts are my everyday savers, and thanks to them (and to the people who made them), i’ve been able to push my AE workflow a step further. I even started to develop some for my very specific needs, that I plan to release one day.

But for now, i’ve compiled my Top 10 list of scripts. This list is not saying that a script is better than another. This is list doesn’t even lists some really great scripts. No, this list is just the list of the scripts I use the most on a project basis. So if your favorite script is not here, it doesn’t mean i don’t like it, or that i think that it’s a useless one. And now, it’s time for me to unveil my list… Read More (+ inclus une version française)

David Torno, a great motion designer, and author of 2 brilliant face replacement tutorials (Part 1 | Part 2) just posted on the AE Enhancer forum a nice little script.

It allows you to create a solid, and the script will place it under the selected layer, and it will trim it’s in/out point accordingly with it.

AE Tip of the Day

A layer must be set to Best quality to take advantage of subpixel precision. However, for faster rendering while you work, you can switch layers to Draft quality until you render a finished movie.
