Scripts included with After Effects
After Effects provides several prewritten scripts to assist you in performing common tasks, and to provide a basis for you to modify and create your
own scripts.
Run the sample script Demo Palette.jsx to get an idea of what sorts of things you can do with scripts.
Writing and modifying scripts
You can write your own scripts for use in After Effects by using the script editor, which is part of the ExtendScript Toolkit. The ExtendScript Toolkit
provides a convenient interface for creating, debugging, and testing your own scripts. Sometimes, all that you need to do is make a slight
modification to an existing script to make it do what you want; such slight modifications can often be performed with little knowledge of computer
programming and scripting languages.
To start the script editor, choose File > Scripts > Open Script Editor.
