  • using launchpad to launch standard effects

    Posted by Jason W. miltt on June 10, 2009 at 6:43 pm

    Since launchpad is dockable and always one click away I would like to use it to add levels, curves and other of the most used effects. The problem is that i dont know how to make them intro a script so that they appear in launchpad.

    anyone?

    You might talk to the launchpad developers but I’m having trouble seeing a practical application with AE. Easier to build a set of Favorites or Presets. Presets can even contain entire sequences of filters and keyframes.

    Hey Jason

    it’s not really what you’re after, but i found/made a script for applying an effect, which you can then assign to hotkeys using KeyEd (google it). So I have a few of my key effects assigned to hotkeys within AE, and it works really nicely.

    See this post :

    You’d need to paste that script into a script file (there are some already in the AE scripts folder, just copy and replace one). Then you go into AE and assign hotkeys in KeyEd Up to “Run script #…”.

    There’s a bit of fiddling involved, so if you’re actually going to do it, i will explain a bit further, but its a little messy.
