    Hi guys,

    I’ve been looking around to see if anyone has created anything like this. I’m looking for someone to write a script that would be similar to what the effects panel does, but for transforms. It would need to take the selected layer and display all the transform properties, P,S,R,O,A in the pannel, with the ability to key frame.

    I animate all day long, and with heave comps you don’t know how many times this would come in handy. I have a big monitor and would love to dock this bad boy. If anyone could help, in scripting this would would all benefit. Thanks

    Andy

    Hey there.
    this is probably not exactly what you are looking for but. You could just apply expression control effects to the layers, sliders, position, angle control etc and simply link them with pick whip expressions to the layers transform attributes. Then save those effects and expressions as an animation preset that you can apply to any layer that you want effects style control of. Then whenever you select a layer those controls will appear in the effects panel. I will often create a null and link attributes of many layers to expression controllers on it so I can tweak numerous attributes within the effects panel.
    Hope this helps
