  • Condense Effects/Animation preset to just one effect

    Posted by Sami Bayley on November 4, 2021 at 8:55 am

    Morning all!

    This may be very simple, or extremely advanced. I’m looking to condense an Animation/Effects preset I have made. I’d like to have it all work from just one or two effects in my effects panel. At the moment theres 18 effects stacked when I apply it, and it gets messy should I want to apply any other effects. Is there a way to condense this?

    A bunch of presets that I’ve downloaded have this, where everything is controlled using one effect in the effects panel, how have they done this?

    My guess, is they some how have the other effects hidden, and linked with expressions to the custom effect that is visible in the effects panel.

    If someone can point me in the right direction that would be great!

    All the best,

    Sami

    I spent $30 (?) on Pseudo Effect Maker on AE Scripts:

    I think it does exactly what you’re after, in that you assemble an interface of the Expression Controls as a single effect and then you can link all your other effects to it.

    You still have tose “sub effects” visible, but you have a single space to for all the settings.
