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$

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.

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.

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)
