LayerMonkey v1.04 (Aescripts)
LayerMonkey is a versatile script for After Effects that arranges and animates your comp’s layers in time and space. It also creates a camera and generates a master control layer that makes timing and global adjustments a piece of cake. Now stills, videos, pre-comps, eps, solids, shapes and text can be used as kinetic elements in a complex monkey-generated compostion with a simple push of a button.
Key features
Creates randomized complex kinetic layouts using layers in your comp based on parameters entered into the control panel.
Features 3 different algorithms with a Justify option.
Works with stills, video, pre-comps, shapes, solids, text, eps and pretty much any other type of layer AE accepts.
Multiple controls for handling time-based layers.
Variable layer order options.
Keyframe-less timeline makes changes to timing as simple as sliding a marker.
Creates a parented camera that points to each successive layer as it transitions on.
Distributes markers across the timeline in 3 different ways.
Exludes non- image based layers in comp such as nulls, cameras, audio and adjustments.
Manual adjustments are easily made to size, position, rotation and opacity.
Features a wide range of type transitions randomly selected by default, but can be specified as well.
Marker Sync feature allows for push button alignment with preexisting marker layers, making syncing to music a breeze.
Allows for different interpolation for camera movement, auto rotate and auto frame.
Automatically builds and cleans to facilitate easy experimentation.
Palette controls makes colorizing layers very easy.
Supports motion blur, lock & shy, and preset Load and Save.
