I creating my custom tools for Automation Blocks for After Effects

Here more help and Getting Started

You can import and customize and use :)

Also, export it as JSX, place it in MoBar or KBar, and use it with one button or run it as a script.

Where is the User Library?

To copy tools from the community library to your user library, you need to know where the latter is located on your system. By default the user library is a subfolder with name "Automation Blocks Pr Library" (or "Automation Blocks Ae Library") inside your user's Documents folder. You can also access the library from Automation Blocks preferences:

After you copied new scripts to your user library, make sure to close and reopen the Automation Blocks panel, to force a reload of the library.

Fit to Comp Width (Protect Y Position)

The "Default Fit to Comp Width" command change position of selected layer and moves to center of the composition. With this #AutomationBlocksAe tool, position Y axis won't change.

Layer Render

Just released "Layer Render" - a handy tool for #AutomationBlocksAe that lets you easily render out each layer in your comp as separate files. Save time and simplify your workflow! Select your comps in project panel and run the “layer render” in Automation Blocks. It will render each layers in selected comps and will place in folder based selected comp name. Also, you can customize each block, destination, name pattern, etc.
