This is a collection of presets I've made based on requirements for different video game console publishers etc.
A collection (well one so far) of scripts I've made. The source folder contains the source code for any scripts. Details below.
This is a template to base other dockable scripts on. I found it convoluted to create this when it seems like it's the same for any panel. Just take this and build on it!
If you work with any pixel art, this is a super handy script to use.
By default After Effects softens the edges of your footage, which is undesirable if you want those crisp pixels. Kert Gartner taught me that if you precomp your footage, scale it by 4x inside the pre-comp and set the footage to draft mode, the pixels stay crisp on the precomped footage! It's a bit of a pain when you're working with a lot of footage, so this just automates the process. :)
To install, just download the .jsxbin file and put it in your current After Effects install folder /Scripts/ScriptsUI folder.
This is a collection of custom presets that I found help a lot with my After Effects projects. Just dump the folder into C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe After Effects CC 2018\Support Files\Presets and drag-n-drop them onto your layers!
Details of each preset is below.
Slider: Rate
Slider: Offset
Makes the layer's opacity turn off an on again at the effect's rate. Offset is a slider as well.
Slider: Constant Rotation Speed
Does what it says on the tin. Makes the layer spin on the Z-Axis at the effect slider speed.
Slider: Multiplier
Will scale the layer at a constant speed based on the layer's in point. I use this one all the time.
Use on an adjustment layer to fade your video so the highlights go last for a more filmic look. Similar to Video Copilot's FilmFade, but adjusted slightly.
Preset I use to animate fire illustrations. Used on a Crypt of the Necrodancer cutscene.
Pulls the highlights out and makes them shine. Used on Necrodancer cutscene as well.
Slider: Parallax Amount
Used to make 2D Parallax scenes. Create a null named "Parallax" then drag this preset on any layer you want to move in parallax, then move the null to move all parallaxed layers. Adjust "Parallax Amount" accordingly: higher numbers move more = appearing closer to camera.
Uses a Lumetri setting for a quick vignette. Usually used on an adjustment layer.
Slider: Scale X
Slider: Scale Y
Sometimes you just wanna animate a layer's scale parameters separately (which you can't do normally). This just splits it into two effect sliders you can then keyframe.
Slider: Shakes per Second Slider: Shake Amount
A quick and easy layer shaker! Keyframe the sliders even for some nice screen shake.
Meant for animations and drawings that have black outlines. It pulls the black outlines out and wobbles them.
Slider: Typing Speed Checkbox: Show cursor Slider: Cursor Blink Speed
Use on a text layer to type it out and display a cursor.
Slider: Uniform Scale
Links scale together and you can use the slider to wiggle without worrying about it scaling parameters separately.
