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!

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.

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!

(* 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 🎲

Loopy is a handy little panel for quickly looping keyframes, paths, pre-comps and footage. Do it one by one, or all in one click! Including automatically trimming and Time Remapping AV layers.

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.
