For the first time in three years, my rogue summoned his familiar as something other than an owl. We were going underwater: finally, a chance for a new form! She lasted 10 minutes before my DM killed her. So, of course, I had to print the cutest, tiniest octopus I could find to guilt trip him.

I finally had a little time to take a look at #Rive… and my first project was using it to create a mockup of the #AfterEffects timeline 😅 This is an interactive tool to demonstrate the different types of #expression loops available in AE (for an upcoming Loopy documentation website).

I've managed to find a solution to the issue of toggle BattleButtons not keeping the hover state after being clicked. Here's a little demo of that working on my script Loopy! #AfterEffects #script #aescripts

New in Loopy v1.2 🌟 This update brings a new panel interface to Loopy, with clean, vector icons and a reduced footprint so that it takes up less room in your workspace. aescripts.com/loopy/ #AfterEffects #aescripts #mograph #motionddesign @aescripts.bsky.social

I also added an HTML helper page to BattleButtons to make converting vector icons from Illustrator to the required Javascript arrays as easy as copy and paste!

#AfterEffects script devs: Last week, I delved into the world of ScriptUI icons to publish BattleButtons*, a toolkit enabling easy multi-colour vector icons which are swappable and toggle-able, with optional hover states! github.com/AutomotionTo... (* Forked from the excellent BattleStyle toolkit.)

First look at Random Roller, a new #AfterEffects tool that I'm working on. During testing for another script, I needed to randomly sort a ton of layers into separate groups, and this is the result 🎲

There are still a few days left of the @aescripts.bsky.social Cyber Sale, so I want to share a few #AfterEffects tools from other authors that I think are must-haves 👍🏼, and those I use every day ☀️… aescripts.com/learn/cyber-...

After two weeks, our building finally(!) has hot water again, so I can stop showering like this, with my girlfriend's camping shower hanging in the cubicle.

Rob Barrett @robbarrett.bsky.social · 15/11/2024

Really, I should have been working on the promo for my other new script, rather than starting another one. Happy to take a short break from it though, after realising I was going to burn myself out if I tried to get it published in time for Black Friday.

First demo of ChildCare, a new tool for managing layer parent/child relationships in #AfterEffects. I whipped this up quickly yesterday, after needing to organise a client's project with parented nulls, without breaking their existing animations.

Rob Barrett @robbarrett.bsky.social · 14/11/2024

This has served me pretty well for most projects for the past couple of years. Any second-level comps in an export comp get put into Components; all other comps get organised into folders under Pre-Comps.

Just spotted this little fella with a mid-grey as an 'Active' denotation, instead of the previous accent blue. Rather than whine into the void, I'm hoping Adobe can perhaps set up a feedback form to allow users to comment on various little niggles with the new UI: community.adobe.com/t5/after-eff...
