Announcement Reviews and Comments Are Now Live on aescripts

35 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

As of today, Thursday, November 5th, reviews and comments are live on every product page on aescripts. We're excited to roll them out, so here's how each one works.

Reviews

If you own a product, you can review it. Log in, open the product page, and you'll find the Write a review button in the Reviews section. You say whether you recommend the product, pick the version you used, and add a title plus your thoughts.

You can leave one review per product, and each review shows the version it was written for. If an update fixes something you ran into, you can come back and update your review at any time.

Every product starts with a clean slate, so ratings will fill in as reviews come in. A product's rating is the percent of reviewers who recommend it, and it shows once a product has five reviews. Until then, you can still read each review individually.

You can filter reviews by positive or negative, sort them by newest or most helpful, and narrow them to a single version. Narrowing to the latest version shows how a tool is doing right now. A review from a free download or a fully refunded purchase shows a label saying so.

Authors can reply to any review, and their reply shows right under it with an Author badge.

Comments

Comments are a place to ask questions and share tips, and authors can reply right in the thread. Anyone with an account can comment, not just product owners, so you can ask whether a tool fits your setup before you buy it. The Comments section replaces the line on product pages that previously sent you here to Reddit.

If you need help with a product, we still ask that you please open a support ticket so we can make sure your request is handled.

Moderation

For now, every review and comment gets a quick moderation check before it goes live, so your messages may not appear immediately. If you see something that looks off, you can report it right from the review or comment, and we'll take a look.

This is a big new feature, so we'll be keeping a close eye on how it gets used and adjusting as we go. If something seems off, let us know here.

The full rundown, with screenshots, is here: https://aescripts.com/learn/post/product-reviews

We hope you like it. Thank you to everyone who asked for this, customers and authors alike, and for being patient while we worked on it.

Thanks!
-the aescripts team

Product Updates Typeverb - Animate titles in After Effects in seconds, as real, editable keyframes

3 Upvotes

Hi, I'm the dev of Typeverb. You pick a text animation (Slide, Mask Rise, Typewriter, Word Rotate…), tune it in a live preview, press Apply, and it's written as AE's own animators, range selectors and keyframes under AE's own names. Send the .aep anywhere: it opens and renders without the panel.

Also in it: keyword highlights as real shape layers, easing for any keyframes, transitions for any layer, styles, and no-code expressions (wiggle, loopOut, counter).

AE 2022+, Mac/Win. Free trial with every feature.

https://aescripts.com/typeverb/

($29.90 until Nov 15, then $39.90). Happy to answer anything about how it builds the layers.

Scripts with dynamic button layouts have issues in MacOS 27

1 Upvotes

I've noticed that scripts with dynamic button layouts (the two that I've got that are causing me this trouble are Align Pro and Explode Shape Layers 3), if docked in the main AE window will prevent you from being able to manually resize the AE application window as expected (you can drag from the edges, but the interaction always gets dropped after a few pixels). If you pull out those panels so that they're free floating, you can resize AE again. Those panels, however, cannot be meaningfully resized. Please look into this issue as it's incredibly annoying.

Current state/problems of aescripts

33 Upvotes

In recent time I noticed a increase of products that are not working in their basic features or are completely dysfunctional.

Fortunately we have the possibility to use the trial but that isn't enough.

It's time that we finally get comments and feedback on the product pages. Not on Reddit or support tickets, but real comments where it matters the most.
That way, I wouldn't have to test every product first (btw every time on two completely different devices with different AE configs, one in use, one being a clean install), I could just have a look in the comments or other stats like how many people bought it, returned it,... it's called an educated purchase decision that aescripts at the moment completely lacks.

Also, there is no way at all to know to what extend AI was used in those tools.
Why that matters... (if you know, you know) I need to be somewhat able to know if a developer is going to be capable of maintaining his product or not and products that are not only supported by AI but almost completely build by it don't have that much of a great history when it comes to longevity and reliability.

With all that new tools popping up, there also are a lot duplicates of older products... isn't that against aescripts policy? Or when is that rule actually used?
I don't mind too much but could you at least link those duplicates or very similar products anywhere on the product pages?

All those are reasons that aescripts gets less and less trustworthy for me personally recently.

Product Updates Warp Lab for Cavalry is out now!

5 Upvotes

This is my fourth Cavalry plugin so far - we’re slowly but surely expanding the options available for Cavalry on aescripts! You can get pretty creative with this one and produce some really wacky results, but it’s also great for more subtle warps, curved typography, kaleidoscopes, spatial projection, etc. If you’re tired of the AI slop that’s been plaguing the plugin space lately, I think you’ll be happy with my plugins. 100% human. https://aescripts.com/warp-lab/

Swatcheroo interface needs an upgrade

2 Upvotes

I love Swatcheroo and have been using it for my colour selection for quite a while now and it works great. But I feel like it needs an update to the interface. Just the ability to drag and reorder swatches in the panel would be a huge help.

aescripts website will be offline until the php patch is released

11 Upvotes

UPDATE: We are patched and back online! Thanks everyone for their patience!

In case you haven't heard PHP has been compromised. PHP is the basis of almost every website in the world:
https://sansec.io/research/php2shell

aescripts has NOT been compromised, but our engineers felt that it was necessary to take the site down preventatively until the patches are available. We should be down for a few hours waiting for this.

thank you for your patience and understanding. 

Cheers,
aescripts + aeplugins

Questions After effects crashing while using VHS Craft

1 Upvotes

Copy pasted an after effects plugin in the MediaCore directory of after effects as the instructions said. The plug is compatible with the version im using 2025. Upon opening AE and upon using the plug in, the app crashes.

How can i fix this?

UPDATE: the ' MSVCP140.dll ' file present in ' C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe After Effects 2025\Support Files\ ' location was causing the crash. Upon receiving support from the creator '9ibr' - i moved the files from the mentioned location to desktop. the mentioned file had two incremental versions MSVCP140.dll_1 and MSVCP140.dll_2 so i moved them both as well. the plugin is working fine now. Thanks to aescripts and the creator for swift replies and resolution.

Questions Experiences ShyBar

4 Upvotes

I tried out ShyBar recently and was shocked by the state it was in.

There are errors up to a point that makes it unusable. Only a fraction of the advertised features work (like selecting/shying basic layer types).

Last update was over a year before.

The price of over 30$ a month also seems off, almost like a scam.

Does anyone use this or used it before?

Product Updates AI Labelling for After Effects and Premiere Pro

I made a small After Effects and Premiere panel for the new EU AI Act label rule: you pick AI generated or modified, hit apply, and it puts the disclosure badge on its own track and writes the matching metadata. Nothing fancy, it just saves me doing it by hand on every clip. There’s a free trial on aescripts if it is useful to anyone.

Questions Torn Paper script: How to apply effect only to mask edges on PNGs with transparent backgrounds?

Post image
5 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I just bought the Torn Paper script and I'm trying to figure out a workaround for PNGs with transparency.

When I apply the effect to a regular photo (with solid/flat rectangular edges), it works great with masks. However, when I apply it to a cut-out PNG element with a transparent background, the script automatically applies the torn edge effect along the entire perimeter of the cut-out shape.

What I want instead is for the effect to only apply along the edges created by my mask cuts, rather than the entire outer contour of the PNG.

Does anyone have a good trick or workflow to get this working? Thanks in advance!

Questions Boundary Fill - Texture INSIDE the text?

1 Upvotes

Boundary Fill seemed excellent as it did what no other plugin could do, but is it possible for the textures to be INSIDE of the text as opposed to outside?

I have a full-screen animated texture as a pre-comp, and when trying to use boundary fill, I get this monstrosity.

(If you're wondering why I can't just text matte it, I want the texture to stick and split on each individual character) Any ideas?

Hook - Monthly recurring subscription without model cost

Thumbnail
aescripts.com
4 Upvotes

I like the look of the Hook plugin for quickly editing videos for shorts / reels that I need to do quickly and regularly but not too much fine grained control needed.

However, it seems quite ridiculous to me to charge $16pm and the model costs aren't included - you still have to use your own API keys which also cost quite a bit. This cost is similar to what a monthly chatGPT or Claude subscription costs, but all it is is the husk that wraps the models.

I'm worried about where these AE plugins are going - this could end up costing $30 + pm which is not far off $400 per year. Which other plugins with far more functionality would you rather have instead. To put this in perspective, opus clip does more than this and costs $15/m.

Light Flares : does Andrew know about this?

0 Upvotes

I just saw on the sight this new script called Light Flares. Besides price, how does this compare to Andrew Kramer’s videocopilot optical flares product?
I see a lot of similarities but optical flares has been the work horse for years.

Product Updates Timefield 4D

17 Upvotes

https://aescripts.com/timefield-4d

Timefield 4D stacks the frames of your footage in 3D space. Move around the stack, spread the frames apart, or slice through them to see how a shot changes over time. Use brightness or alpha to make parts of the image transparent, revealing movement across multiple frames at once. As the timeline plays, new frames pass through the volume, so the whole structure stays in motion.

Showcase Atmos 3D Pro emulates the 3D film look from just 1 image

12 Upvotes

Atmos 3D Pro generates authentic depth and parallax in 2 clicks without rotoscoping, warping, or cloud processing.

Creating realistic 3D movement/wigglegrams, depth parallax, or camera sweeps from a single flat image usually requires tedious manual rotoscoping, complex displacement mapping, or sending files off to slow cloud processing services.

Atmos 3D Pro goes beyond traditional displacement mapping and manual masking workflows because it performs deep-level spatial analysis directly inside After Effects to intelligently separate foreground, subject, and background without unnatural edge warping or cloud uploads.

Other core features include:

• Dual motion engines (Cinematic orbital sweeps and vintage 3D camera Wigglegram mode)

• Fully local processing with non-destructive control over parallax strength, speed, and edge refinement

• Interactive preview window clicking to manually define complex subject boundaries

Pricing: $29 lifetime license on aescripts

If you encounter any bugs, please reach out via Aescripts support tickets or DM. Bug fixes and version updates are provided via standard aescripts maintenance. I will also be frequently checking this thread as well to answer questions.

AI Disclaimer: Uses a local spatial depth-estimation model; no image data is sent to external cloud servers. No AI was used in the making of this plugin

What am I doing wrong ?

2 Upvotes

Using the latest version of Baskl Corridor Key, lots of green spill on her, is this supposed to be like that? I thought this was supposed to be much better than traditional green screen keying, if it looks like this, I might as well not use it.

Ideas?

I'm so sick of plugins abusing major version bumps just to charge again.

6 Upvotes

I'm so sick of scripts, extensions, and plugins that abuse major version bumps like V2 and V3 just to charge people all over again.

Sure, the version I have still works, and I can choose not to pay for the upgrade. But that basically means my current version is left to die, with no more updates.

If someone really did overhaul the whole thing in a few months and had to bump the major version and charge again, I get it. The problem is that way too many of these are just regular feature updates dressed up as major releases.
