Hi everyone,

I created this free script “CelMate” to make this workflow quicker and also to avoid framerate troubles. Especially Adobe Fresco and Procreate have become great tools to create frame-by-frame animations, so this PSD-Layers-to-sequence-workflow got more important to me in the last years.

The script automates the entire process from…

Hi everyone!

I feel that reusing stuff is already punished by AE from the start as there is no copypasting a comp into another project. Sometimes its less painful to just create yet another arrow / sprocket / lightbulb animation.

So I created this Script and have been using it happily for some years now. Its purpose is to transmit a selection of…

Hi everybody,

some time ago I came up with nicer solution. I am not sure where the “formula” for the easing originates (maybe “ease and wizz”). But it is by far the most intuitive and flexible way to do it.

The expression doesn’t care how much dimensions you use and there there is no deciding between easeIn or easeOut.

“ratio” (between 0 and 1)…

Hey everybody,

Since AE 2022 I get a (useless) popup Window “Update Character” when scrolling over a Comp containing a C4D Scene with a Mixamo Character. I have to click “OK” several times before I can continue – at every Comp in the Project. Is there any use to this? As far as I know I can’t see or edit any Character Controls inside AE. Is there a…

Hi everybody!

I just had a related problem. In my case the controllers became invisible because the geometry “ate” them. I needed to solo them in the “Layers” tab to be able to control them.

There doesn’t seem to be a way to just scale up the controllers (R21). My problem is, that the rig I feeded into mixamo already was scaled to fit the scene…

Edit: This could be used to fix everything super easy with literally 1 Klick on Windows:

app.project.autoFixExpressions(“Menü”, “1”)

In my opinion pigwip + alt (gives you the property index instead of the name) should be the standard! In most cases the name of the property irrelevant. And in my case even dangerous😆

<div>Hey that’s great! I will try it! So cool. I was using a script that can replace strings in selected properties. But for this case, that works because “Menü” ist never used in other Expressions.
</div><div>

Sadly I can’t rename the property with a script, that gives me an error. But fixing the Expressions like this already eases the…

I just came across a stupid Mac – PC bug. I am setting up quite a big Essential Graphics Toolbox for a TV-Station. They use the German AE so I decided to set up all Expressions up in German. Bad decision because the Dropdown Menus property is named “Menü”. If you open this on a PC this transforms into “MenŸ” an all related expressions d…

I added another screenshot because I found the last one unreadable.

Hi! For me this script wasn’t very helpful because I needed my Nulls attached to animated Clones. I came across a cleaner approach using an Iteration node in Xpresso.

The iteration node “hierarchy” needs a parent Null as reference object. This parent Null needs to contain as many Nulls as you wish to connect to mograph objects. The last node can…
