Great to see you take my marker idea and run with it! Here's another one on my wishlist: Add the ability to auto-generate anticipation and overshoot at the beginning and end of an animation.
Never a video from you that I don't learn something from, and this is no exception (also, I rarely comment on UA-cam videos!). Brilliant insight and it gives me the confidence to start trying some coding for AE, thank you.
You can still make extensions using VSCode. Extensions (CEP Panels) are a bit more advanced. With extensions, you can create web-based interfaces right in the extension panel, using common web tools like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
Hey, thanks for your kind words! I've dabbled a bit with AE extensions, not a ton though. I'm all about opting for things that involve less effort, which is why scripting is my go-to. 🙂
Amazing video! Thank you so much, Sergei. I am using your Smart Rekt and it's so good. I have made a pseudo effect once by manually coding. But it was fun. It would be splendid if you could create a series of videos on how to make an AE tool. Perhaps one video per node on the graph you shared.
Super helpful, I've been getting into scriptmaking lately (thanks to Chat GPT since I can't code at all on my own) and this is a great way to help develop that process
Scripting is so much fun, seriously! The more you do it, the more it starts to click. And let's talk about AI - it's amazing! Wish I had it back when I was just starting out.
@@ukramedia Using a mixture of GPT and Claude 3 I was to put together a script UI panel tool in After Effects. I was able to draw from some code I found in a UA-cam video and then I added to and repurposed it. I don't write code either but I can make rough sense of it, as in understand where functions are, how to replace them, etc. Claude was able to figure something out that GPT got stuck with but then Claude got stuck as well. I nonetheless finished it to my satisfaction and it's a legitimately useful tool. I'm pretty stoked. Even though there are definitely walls you will hit and it's not perfect by any stretch, the fact that we can communicate these things in natural language and get usable code back is insane. It's really some Star Trek universal translator stuff. I still feel like a lot of people don't realize how big of a deal that is. Also, wanted to thank you for your content. Script UI: scriptui.joonas.me/ looks legit. That would have been so helpful with what I was just working on.
Thank you for your videos. I learn a lot thx to you :) Question: what is the app you use here as a "black bill board" where you can move elements freely and draw arrows like this? Best!
I've been doing advanced Expressions in AE to create templates for my animation videos, but realized i still need to streamline my workflow with my own scripts. I hope to learn to do that soon along with using that site. Thnx
Expressions in Ae are kind of like the gateway drug to scripting, right? 😂 Thanks a bunch for checking out the video, and good luck diving into scripting!
Hello, Sergei. This is a really exciting video. I think you should create a paid course where you cover this topic in depth. I've bought everything you've released before. You can put me first in line for this course. I'm looking forward to it :)
I'm having a really hard time using images on my tools. Since I use a 4K monitor and use 150% scale on the Windows interface, every icon I insert in the layout appears 50% bigger. That would be ok if the resolution was kept, but, in the joonas editor, the icons appear antialiased, but when I execute the script inside After Effects, they are all pixelated and horrible. Is there a way to fix this? I'm using them in .png format, tried to use .svg but it didn't work.
I'm always open to useful feedback. I'm curious, do you not enjoy any music in videos like this, or is it just the specific music I chose? How would you handle this? What music do you think I should have used? Thanks
What an incredible tutorial. A broad high-level explanation of a workflow is great for anyone who is totally new and doesn’t know where to start.
Thank you for your kind words! I'm glad you found it useful.

Thanks a bunch for all your feedback, Michael! It means a lot to me. Adding "auto-generate anticipation and overshoot" to my to-do list right away. 😊
Never a video from you that I don't learn something from, and this is no exception (also, I rarely comment on UA-cam videos!). Brilliant insight and it gives me the confidence to start trying some coding for AE, thank you.
Wow! Thanks so much for your kind words! They really brightened my day!
Great stuff! Love seeing behind the scenes footages
Thanks for watching! I'm glad you found this useful!
Great man, Love it. What tools do you use to create extensions for After Effects Like Motion Pro ?
You can still make extensions using VSCode. Extensions (CEP Panels) are a bit more advanced. With extensions, you can create web-based interfaces right in the extension panel, using common web tools like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
This is incredible insights, Just wanna say thank you
Thanks for going out of your way to leave a comment. I appraecige your kind words!
Great work .. thank you for a in depth tutorial .. Very helpful
Thank you for your kind words and for watching the video!"
Your work is inspiring!!
Thank you!
Sensational, your inspiration to us all!
Thank you for your kind words!
That script UI website is a gem!! Thank you for sharing. And great video. Have you had much experience making extensions for AE?

First of all, thank you for using Smart Rekt! I truly appreciate your support. As for the tutorial, I'll see what I can do.
@@ukramedia Thank you for considering!
Brilliant stuff - as usual!
Thank you for your kind words!

Thank you for your kind words! I used Eraser, and you can check it out at app.eraser.io/
@@ukramedia Thx a lot. All the best to you :)
Awesome, thank you for sharing the process. Can you share what is the flowchart program you are using in the video? Thank you!
Thanks for watching the video! Here is the link to it: app.eraser.io/.
This is brilliant ❤

Correct. Actually it brought me to learn Python. I needed to process my text files that i use in my UA-cam research. AE Changed my life❤
Thanks for sharing, what coding language do you use to write AE scripts? Thanks
JavaScript (ECMA-262)
Hello, Sergei.
This is a really exciting video.
I think you should create a paid course where you cover this topic in depth.
I've bought everything you've released before.
You can put me first in line for this course.
I'm looking forward to it :)
Wow! Thank you very much for your support! It is greatly appreciated. As far as the course goes, I'll see what I can do.
Do you manage your scripts with Github at all for version control?
I don't. Should I? I'm always open to learning from others. 🙂
I'm having a really hard time using images on my tools. Since I use a 4K monitor and use 150% scale on the Windows interface, every icon I insert in the layout appears 50% bigger.

Сергей, это просто ахуй-пушка!. спасибо за такое полезное видео!
Спасибо, Василий!
Does vs code have to compile something? Can we see a bare bones app in vs code with the three elements?
Great question, I'll need to create a video covering all the steps on this topic.
How do you add the text where the version and author are indicated in the layer effect?
I use the Pseudo Effect Maker tool for that! You can check it out here: aescripts.com/pseudo-effect-maker/?aff=45
What tools is this diagram?
thank you
Thanks for watching!
What's with the background music? It's really annoying.
I'm always open to useful feedback. I'm curious, do you not enjoy any music in videos like this, or is it just the specific music I chose? How would you handle this? What music do you think I should have used? Thanks
@@ukramedia I have to agree, the short loop on the music is niggling!
