Lloyd’s new script: Immigration

4.08.2009

Immigration
Along with the new aescripts.com discussed here, Lloyd also took time to release his new Immigration script, which will help you importing file sequences.

I’ve had the change to beta test the script prior to it’s release, and let me get this straight. If you’re working with file sequences, you gonna have to buy this script. Yes, you read me right, buy. Immigration is the first script to be released as shareware, reminding us the good old days back in the 90’s.

Now you are asking yourself two questions: how much does it cost, and what the hell does it gives me for my 20 bucks ? First of all, you can grab it at 10$ for a limited time only , and for that price you get access to really neat features:

First of all, all file sequences appears as a single file. You can recursively scan subfolder and import the sequences inside AE with the herited folder structure. Of course if you need to update your sequence-v1 by sequence-v2 or replace your sequences by others having the same folder hierarchy and about the names, you can with the replace button. Those of you working with 3D pass renders for compositing in AE knows what i mean. Go check the tutorial for even more cool features, and you’ll be more than happy to get such a wonderfull script for only 10/20$

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.

Vidéo pour le mariage d’un couple d’ami, produit par Brut de Prod et réalisé par Eve Pisler.

Sur ce projet, réalisé en 12 jours (du pitch à la version finale), je me suis occupé de l’animation de tous les plans, basé sur des fichiers photoshops fixes et quelques pixilations de poupées. Le tout en full HD.

[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.

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.
