It creates layer groups that it says, and it is very similar to put a ship in this manner, you can select a few layers and the same Toby in one group, and the you can isolate groups and solo them basically control a group as a single unit, an option that, after fits is not giving you natively. It saves you a lot of time, and it is very handy, especially for those of you who are used to polish up workflow. It will make you feel right at home.

The name gives away that this is something really great over here at the home page, I'm going to click products. So in their product section, I'm introduced with the four scripts there, providing sweet easy lines, creator and Snap. Unfortunately, only snap is the free one, but Snip is a really great script. It enables you taking well snapped photos off the frame you're currently hovering over, and that's a really great feature in case you don't wanna added your composition to the render queue and define a certain render area off one frame just to send a picture toe your client, or maybe help you create a storyboard.

And the explosion script is a very nice one, and it enables you creating shockwaves. The flip script is a very simple method off creating such a flipping objects. Just select a few you want to sleep, and it creates a simple rig for you.

Thanks for joining me for this part of the class, and I hope to see you in the next one where we will explore more sources for free scripts 4. Sources Part 3: Hey there, everybody. Thanks for tuning in for dessert. Part off this class. In the last two parts, we discovered many after effects scripts that can be downloaded for free from various sources. And in this part, we're going to keep in large in our library of sources. We start off with Site, which is called are the Script, and decide has a mind blowing amount off 51 scripts and what's great about it. You can download all of them at once by simply clicking this button over here. And if you want, you can actually see the whole least off the scripts that are contained. And if I click on one of the on one of the scripts, it will take me through the description off what the script does. And here is the whole list on the right side. So if you don't want to download all of the 51 scripts he provides, you can simply download only one of them or those you need. I can tell you from personal experience that many of his scripts are going to save you lots of time. How are they going to save lots of time? Because they're going to take processes off many items if usually take up lots of time. And they said, and it will make them automatically So, for example, we have composition center in after effects. It is called Com Center, and what it does is allow your changing parameters for various camps at once. It is a very handy script for changing parameters of compositions. You will save you time and efforts on doing this very tedious task. So let's take a look at another one he provides. So here is another example of a script that is provided for free, and it is rendered layers what it's group that is a renders each selected layer separately , as the author says, it would allow you to create different renders for layers in case a layer represents a version often effect, for example, instead of solo in a layer and edit it to the render queue and doing it with several layers . With this script, you can do this with one press of a button. So I guess you understand that this scripts are very powerful, and as you can see, there are a lot of them, so be sure you're going to find something that's going to save your time. And well, since it's for free, it will be a seem not to check out. So that read Refinery that Come. And, of course, I will leave this website in the pdf that comes with the class. Let's keep going to the next site on our list, and here we are in the next website. This one is motion boutique that come. Some of you may know it for creating the physics generator for after Fits, which is called Newton. This site is run by French guys who are developing really great tools for aftereffect, among which the most popular one, as they said, is Newton toe. They have more products, and some of them are paid like pastiche and the plug ins that come with it, plugging scripts that come with this great little tool. But they also have free script for you to use and let's see where they are. Let's go to the bloke top click scripts, and here we are presented with the script that they have. Not all of these scripts are free. Just enter a script and see whether you can download it for free or not, for example, prevent can be downloaded for free if I can recall correctly. And yes, it can be downloaded for free, and it creates this very nicely folded paper look. Creating this look by yourself will take some time, and sometimes you might need to create such a look. For example, you might want to reveal a map in a folding style, and this will save you lots of pain in the butt, trying to recreate this look so that prevent from motion. But take other great scripts like Connect Players are very useful for motion graphics effects as well. We have seen a script similar to connect layers in the previous part, and it was on a switch. But this connect layer script is for free, actually, and it is used a lot. As you can see, it can be used to create some really cool looks. You can connect the year as well as they said, the fine points and connecting with a straight line or use It is a rope, and there are many modes to this script. As you can see, you can create some field triangles and this is very cool, something that without a script will definitely take you lots of time. Their scripts are really great. Will save you some time. For sure. This timer script is a very small one, but well, we'll save you, creating a little expression. And just with the click of a button you will have ever Annan timer in your composition. So motion boutique that comb. Go ahead, check them out and enjoy their free content. The next site is they've Jacobson the Comb. Hopefully, I pronounce it correctly, and this guy gives away script, which is called the Commander. Well, that's a powerful name, and what this script does is basically utilized in many different features instead of after effects in one panel. So what it can do is apply effect expressions, animation, presets, and it can also around commands like scripts, and it will also locate files in the project panel. I'm simply reading it from here in Canada as well. Basically, it will save you time navigating through different panels, and it will allow you to save space inside of after effect. Instead of docking different scripts, you will be able to use the commander to utilize them all in one place, so That's the Commander by Dave Jacobson. It won't take you long visit in the side and chicken all the script. The download is right here in the bottom, and as you can see, he provides the instruction for the installation, and he explains what the script does exactly in this very in depth tutorials. So hopefully you will enjoy the commander, and off we go to the next tight. The next site is, but elects dot Co and this guy has developed a very nice script, which is called Rubber Hose. Unfortunately, rubber hoses not for free. But he has another script, which works perfectly with Shea players, and that's what it is intended to do. The work with Shea players and it is called the but copper. As you can see, it says it is free. So let's click it toe enter its page, and the what the script with allowing to do is quickly change the modes of a stroke from a around it cap toe. A flat cap ever had toe. Open up your contents of a shape layer and scroll down to find your stroke and then open the stroke and find the menu where it says, whether it is a bad cop or a rounded one, So with the script, it is all a click of a button away. You will just have to select the shape layer and click on the mold you want toe ed, if you can see over here. He has a very nice patterned background where he shows how quickly all of these shapes changed their stroke mode. So that's what the script will allow you to do. It will save you just a few minutes at a time, but ended up. It will make up a lot of time in the end, and since it is for free, it is definitely worth downloading. So that's butter like that. Go and the script is bad copper. So this is the less part for this class, and I hope you enjoyed all of the different sources to find free scripts for after effects , and you will find the different uses for the scripts you are downloading, and I really hope you're going to share your experiences and thoughts with the other students of the class.
