Prizes:

 

Prism (x1)

Amazing color label workflow script that gives you many options to color coordinate your layers quickly and efficiently. You can colorize by parent chain, layer type, prefix, and much more to keep things consistent across your projects.

Easy Bake (x1)

A workflow script that can optimize and remove unnecessary/redundant keyframes, smartly bake your expressions nondestructively, and speed up your projects. This is a must have tool for expression-heavy projects, and makes it very easy to manage the baking of certain properties (or the whole project).

compCode (x1)

Powerful script that converts your AE project files to sharable, dynamic code. Rebuild whole projects instantly, with tokens where a user could modify layer names, footage sources, and custom text layers during creation. Dynamically create branding packages such as lower thirds and titles in an easy-to-use UI panel.

Explode Shape Layers (x1)

Zack’s bread-and-butter script that is essential if you even touch shape layers in AE. Easily split each shape out to its own individual layer, merge shapes into one, quickly convert Illustrator layers to shapes, and access Fill/Stroke immediately.

Slice It Up (x1)

Easily slice up footage or layers that are pre-rigged with customizable controls for easy animation. This makes cut or slide animations a breeze.

Vertex Tool (x1)

Like the ESL script, this tool is a must have for AE shape users out there who need full, but easy control over their shapes. The tool can add various rounding algorithms, access shape vertex coordinate data, tangents, and much more.
