Decimate

Decimate

Our client wanted a program that can analyse an image sequence rendered from an After Effects composition (each sequence was about 1½ to 2 hours long), and create a movie with only non-repeated frames. These sequences were animated slides for online business and financial courses, in sync with teacher speech. Timing info for every section of animation or event (start frame, duration,…) was also exported to xml file, allowing to play/pause/jump in the optimized movie.

We also developed a companion app called Stitcher, to stitch hundreds of image sequences from different folders into a single Quicktime file, according to custom rules defined by the client.

Alioscopy

Alioscopy

Our client wanted a collection of custom scripts to assist him in the process of creating images for Alioscopy 3D displays. This involved the creation of multiple comps with different camera positions.

Poker

Poker

Our client wanted to automate the creation of dynamic poker score sheets. Data were loaded from external text files, and used to create text content and transition between events.

JawTracking

JawTracking

Our client wanted a tool to assist him in jaw tracking analysis. A marker was tracked in a sequence, and its motion path was drawn using the Write-On effect. Some infos about the path segments were also computed. When the path changes direction (up or down), stroke color also changes to visualize and measure the different motion path segments.

Export3D

Export3D

Our client wanted a script that can be able to export all available information on a given comp to a text file, including nested precomps, camera, animation data, etc. The exported file was then used to reconstruct the scene in 3DSMax.

EquiReplay

EquiReplay

Our client wanted to automate the creation of equitation videos from data contained in external text files. For each input video, text informations were added and animated, e.g., date of the competition, name of the horse, logo, etc. Final comps were then rendered and automatically uploaded to the client’s website.

EasyVersioning

EasyVersioning

Our client wanted a script to speed up the creation of different variations of the same comp. We created a little palette with intuitive controllers to show or hide specific layers in specific precomps.

BatchCollectFiles

BatchCollectFiles

Our client wanted a script to perform custom Collect Files operations for archival purposes. For each selected comp, a new project was created with only the required items.

3D Options

This After Effects script displays a palette that allows you to quickly modify the Geometry and Material options of the selected layers. If you want the panel to be dockable, place it into ScriptUI Panels folder.

USAGE:

  • Select some 3D layers.
  • Execute the script and modify parameters.
