What's inside

Six tabs, each with its own colour. Click a tile and its controls open below; several tools draw a live preview as you change settings.

Install

Takes about a minute.

Unzip

Open the download. You get an AE Tools folder.

Copy

Copy everything inside it (the .jsx file and the utils, tools folders) into ScriptUI Panels:

Mac: /Applications/Adobe After Effects <version>/Scripts/ScriptUI Panels/

Windows: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe After Effects <version>\Support Files\Scripts\ScriptUI Panels\

Open

Restart After Effects and choose Window › AE_Tools_Extension.jsx. Dock it wherever you like.

The main file loads its tools from the utils and tools folders next to it, so keep them together. To try it without installing, use File › Scripts › Run Script File… and pick AE_Tools_Extension.jsx from the unzipped folder.
