True Layer Duplicator script for After Effects

$
0
0

True Layer Duplicator is a Powerful and Free Script that Duplicates a Comp hierarchy including subcomps for Layers and Comps.

It resembles True Comp Duplicator Just with a Twist- It works on Comp Based Layers!

This tool will duplicate all selected layers but will also duplicate the inner Hierarchy of the layers.

This will save you the time of manually duplicating and replacing the relevant layers (with or without TrueComp duplicator), while keeping the changes made to the original layer.

The installation is pretty straight forward and with a few steps you can set a Shortcut to launch the script as a regular command (Ctrl+Alt+D on PC / Alt+D on Mac).  Watch the Tutorial

Enjoy!

Avid to AE subs script for After Effects

$
0
0

Avid to AE Subs is a Time saving and Free Script that imports an Avid txt file as text layers into After Effects Timeline.

The beauty of this script is that all you need to do is to select a text layer and activate the script.

This script was created to automate our pipeline in “Reshet 13” channel, between the offline Avid editors and the Online After Effects editors and saved us tons of hours and tears!

This will magically create text layers with the right content at the precise timing according to Avid’s timeline, and visually based on the selected text layer.

This will save you the time of manually creating the text layers, which is the most boring job that you can do… I’d rather flip burgers instead!

The installation is pretty straight forward just placing a file in the Scripts folder.

Enjoy!

Installation:

  1. Extract the Avid to AE subs.jsxbin for the Zip file and place it in the Scripts folder:
    • PC: Program Files\Adobe\Adobe After Effects ##\Support Files\Scripts\ 
    • Mac: Applications/Adobe After Effects ##\Scripts\
  2. Restart After Effects.

Usage:

  1. Select a (reference) text layer in the Timeline.
  2. Activate the script (File->Scripts->Avid to Ae Subs.jsxbin).
  3. Select the Avid subtitles file (*.TXT) in the script selection window.
