The Throttle 1.2 Script has been updated for After Effects CS4 at aescripts.com. Get it here.

It works with the new multi-processing throttle system that was introduced with CS4 that manages how many CPU’s are to be left free for other applications. This version also adds a little known hidden preference that allows you to set the quality of the Toggle Pixel Aspect Correction button in the Comp View.

Check out AE Enhancers for information on TrackerViz, a free script that Matt Silverman forwarded on to us. If Matt likes it, it must be good!

It's an amazing little free tool for After Effects that makes it unbelievably easy to work with tracking data! You can average tracks together, correct drifting tracks, use averaged tracks to calculate rotation and scale, and it's the simplest, easiest way to apply tracking data to mask vertices EVER for After Effects!

Iam Haigh has created an AE script and Hi. I'm proud to announce Ease and Wizz! It's an After Effects script and a whole bunch of expressions - "the fruit of many, many hours trying to figure out how adapt Robert Penner's Flash-based easing equations to work as expressions in After Effects."

Ease and Wizz lets you use several kinds of easing (rather than just
"easy-ease") in a handy way: Expo, Circ, Quint, Quart, Quad, Sine

He also has included "Special effects" eases: Back, Bounce, Elastic

You can see the different types of easing here or in this really basic video that Ian made a while back.

You can download Ease and Wizz here. Ian explains that there are some rough edges, but he has been using it in a production environment for some time and have been pleased with it.

I welcome your feedback, and hope that you find it useful!

Jeff Almasol has created some After Effects CS3 Scripts. They look SUPER useful.

This download contains scripts for editing keyboard shortcuts (KeyEd Up), launching scripts (Launch Pad), create project folder hierarchies (Folder Setup), converting Adobe Swatch Exchange (.ase) files (Swatch You Want, kuler Shapes), and modifying a comp's motion blur settings interactively (Active Shutter) in Adobe After Effects CS3. To use, unzip the archive and place the contents in the Scripts folder located within the Adobe After Effects CS3 folder (Mac OS) or its enclosed Support Files folder (Windows). Active Shutter, Folder Setup, Launch Pad, and Swatch You Want can also be used as dockable panels by placing the scripts (and associated .png files) in a ScriptUI Panels subfolder of the Scripts folder, and then choosing them from the application's Window menu.
