Scripts for After Effects by After Effects Dude

Null Parent (Auto-Center)

• Tired of creating a Null, then manually dragging it to the center of your objects just to get a clean rotation? Null Parent does the math for you. Select your layers, run the script, and instantly get a Null perfectly positioned at the average center of your selection.
• Key Benefit: Perfect for character rigging, group rotations, and complex UI animations.

Audio Ghost (True Sync)

• We all hate the "pre-comp silence." You're animating a character inside a pre-comp, but the voiceover is in the Main Comp. Audio Ghost finds exactly where your pre-comp sits in the timeline and "ghosts" the audio inside with the perfect offset.
• Key Benefit: No more jumping back and forth between comps to check timing. Sync once, animate forever.

Anchor Snap

• Moving anchor points with the "Pan Behind" tool is imprecise and slow. Anchor Snap gives you a dedicated 9-point grid panel. Snap your anchor point to the Top-Left, Center, or Bottom-Right of any layer instantly without moving the layer's position on screen.
• Key Benefit: Essential for clean scaling and rotation animations.

Temp Wiz

• Lost in a project with 100+ pre-comps? Architect Pro is your project's X-ray machine. It scans your entire project and builds a visual hierarchy tree. See exactly which pre-comp belongs to which main comp and jump to any layer in one click.
• Key Benefit: Clean up messy projects and navigate complex hierarchies in seconds.
