Creative Workflow Hacks

Creative Workflow Hacks is a new blog about under-the-hood tricks to help you do nifty things in your favorite post-production apps. There's a section specifically about After Effects.

On that subject, if you haven't tried out the scripts from redefinery.com, you may not appreciate just how powerful scripting can be in After Effects. Check it out!

My hope is that, in the future, scripts and other user enhancements to AE will not be ghettoized to a submenu, but actually allowed to be a button or palette or menu item just like a plug-in. Sort of the Maya MEL-button shelf idea.

Hi Stu,

I really appreciate the kind words about Creative Workflow Hacks. It's a really exciting time to be working with these tools.

It's especially nice coming from you. All of your how-to posts end up on the bulletin board at Primal Screen. http://prolost.blogspot.com/2006/03/tale-of-three-blurs.html" REL="nofollow">A tale of three blurs went over especially well with all of the folks working with AE since the COSA days. "You mean gaussian blur is using the same engine...", with an open mouth.

Thanks again,
Dale
