Man! Such a handy toolbox, love the effector. Been searching for something like this. Absolutely underrated channel as well.

[@ShadyJoker1]

Can't wait to try this, well done mate

[@zigs]

what an amazing tool, thank you so much for putting this together and making it available for free truly appreciate the time you've put in to not only making the tool but putting a comprehensive guide!

[@jeorc]

This is wild! I can't image how much time you put into this. You're an unsung hero. Thank you so much for sharing. I can't wait to download to start playing with this.

[@VasanthaBhanuvel]

Thank you for the tools and also for the tutorials you are providing. I will be following you on my journey to learn AE & MG. I really hope more people discover your channel. Good luck with your channel. Thanks again for your genorisity, effort and time.

[@breecekelsey5705]

I didn't expect to be excited by the "Property Manager" just from its name but when you showed how it can be used on any selected properties I got goosebumps lol. I will use that all the time.

[@SternFX]

Wow, thank you for this fantastic panel and for the detailed demo. Highly Appreciated!

[@e11world]

Dude this is one of the most amazing scripts out there. Thank you so much for taking the time to make this and the video that is so helpful.

[@Rand1er]

What an amazing set of tools. Thank you so much 👍

[@inmotion31]

What a tool! Thanks for introducing me to it! Appreciate it. Keep rocking

[@fainday]

Thank you for the tools and also for the tutorials you are providing!

[@dmellis]

This is incredible. A coworker shared this with our creative team this morning. I have it installed and can't wait to make time to play with it later. I've always wanted to have C4D/Mograph type of effectors in After Effects. This seems to do everything I thought it should do. I hope this can work with live text too.

[@Anti-StaticTV]

It does not work on live text. There is, however, a script by Charles Bordenave I use to break up text elements that works great. aescripts.com/decomposetext/

[@AlexanDrMoskalenko]

great tools, thanks

[@owenabucheri]

Awesome tool. Thanks for this

[@MoonsunLee-vz4ih]

AMAZING! Thank you so much.

[@bondodesign]

Impressive and clever, thank you

[@NightKreators]

what an absolute wonderful presentation of these beautifully thought out tools much more valuable than pricey scripts & plugins advertised in aescripts..

[@philipames8583]

Label Mate - my jaw actually dropped. this is a great collection of 'toys', but damn, that one in particular is going to save me so much time. thank you

[@peachbug5602]

These are amazing!! Thank you so much

[@eulgwapo2]

insta sub man! keep it up! this is such a gem

[@HaniTiby]

Many thanks for sharing

[@OximeFx]

THANK YOU SO SO MUCH.

[@MrPedroamoedo]

Aww man! This is awesome work! Tks a lot for sharing, u rock

[@igabsm]

This is amazing! Wonderful work. I have the same problem with the Stringer, when I have the Existing Points checked the line is not connect to points but is down at the right of the comp. When I manually move it to the points works fine.

[@oluwashava7989]

This is super amazing, even for free ‼️ wow

[@toddlawrimore3577]

Awesome! There are some pretty good tools in 3D (like Maya's MASH) for these kinds of manipulations, and I've been considering scripting my own similar solutions for AE. My scripts work, but they're always embarrassingly sloppy. You've created an amazing toolset. Menus are nicely organized as well. Thank you!

[@daserU]

Hello Anti Static Creator! It's me again. I opened After Effects in the English version and lo and behold, all functions work perfectly. Conclusion; The Anti Static Tool Box only works properly if Ae is running in the English version! It would be nice if you universalized the script in the near future. I hope to receive an email soon with the note; Updated version is available for download!

[@Anti-StaticTV]

Thanks for letting me know. I'm not sure what this takes, but I'll look into it.

[@myhandle290]

Thank you for the code ❤

[@alexvoltz3719]

I love you. You are amazing. Please keep it up!

[@gaartch6703]

I write some scripts for just myselft and I can understand the awesome work you have done! Adobe must hire you too develop AE. Thank you for awesome tool and I would be happy to support such an amazing work!

[@gauravfly-rn1lf]

GREAT TOOL FOR FREE THANK YOU SO MUCCH SIR

[@shoaibliaqat4180]

So, Basically its motion 4 plug in for free!!!. thank you so much

[@RyanDaily]

Thank you!

[@AchHadda]

Would have loved to find this in my last project, I struggled to get an effect a bit similar

[@ansarialtamash7669]

hey loved it very much just one thing i can't use the plugins at bottom due to no scroll option as they were hidden under the screen and not accesible

[@DimRusev]

🤯 Mindblowing! As a Motion Designer, I'm sure I'll get more value from this plugin than the Adobe AE update for 2024!

[@KingTuttanKamon]

WAOW. Amazing ting. Thanks >(

[@Hix066]

WOW! This is amazing, and thank you so, so much from a beginner in AE. Do you have a donation link at all, I truly respect open-source peeps and will happily buy you a [insert drink of choice] for this!

[@MrAdrianklafu]

hey looks amazing. but what am i doing wrong. i only get this square in red and it doesnt effect anything. i followed the instructions to install.

[@daserU]

Hallo Anti Static! Thank you for your efforts with the AntiStati Tool Kit, it is really remarkable to receive such a huge tool for free: It's just a shame that it doesn't work straight away in my case! I'm applying the effector into a grid made with 25 rectangle shape layers with anchor points centered to themselves. Trying to affect the position. I apply the effector, the null is created (rechtangel)with a sice of 1000x1000, but nothing happens, nothing reacts. non expression is generated on the 25 layers position! I haven't tried everything yet, but the «Grid Position», for example, works perfectly! I deleted the tool script in the Ui Script folder and re-downloaded it and placed it again in the Ui Script folder, but it still doesn't work! I use AE23. JavaScript. What can be the problem? Please get in touch. Thanks! Greetings Joseph

[@daserU]

It's me again. I followed your tutorial and tried out the “Stringer” function. The zero layers are created, but unfortunately no lines!!! What's going wrong here??? Help!!!

[@arshath-10b90]

hi @Anti-Static thanks for the incredible tool. i have some trouble while resizing the panel, i couldnt see the border of the panel, the last tools in panel are not visible its just cutted away

[@Anti-StaticTV]

If you hover your mouse over the panel and press the tilde key (~) you should be able to see the full panel and can adjust the border.

[@arshath-10b90]

@@Anti-StaticTV i have tried that but after the label mate panel nothing is visible. it seems like a bug.

[@JAMESSPECTOR762]

hey can you show us how lemmino edit his vidoes ❤❤❤

[@sadmage3143]

yo, can it read other shapes on effector tool or just ellipse ?

[@Anti-StaticTV]

Right now, just ellipse. I have been exploring some linear options but haven't got there yet.

[@GustavoHenriquetutoriais]

Hi! Thanks for the script, but I'm having some trouble. When I apply the stringer one, it doesnt apply aligned to the squares, it shifts around, usually to the right. It links, but its not aligned. Tips?

[@Anti-StaticTV]

Gustavo, probably what has happened is that your squares are not centered in the shape layer. The string is going to attach to the anchor point of each layer so make sure to adjust your shapes so they are in the middle.

[@GustavoHenriquetutoriais]

@@Anti-StaticTV Thanks for the response! They are... I've tried doing a 6x6 square and 4 squares side by side too, so that I could make a graphic, but neither worked 100%. As I said, the links work, but they're not aligned.. I'll try again.

[@Anti-StaticTV]

Are the squares shape layers? Try opening up the Rectangle 1 > Transform: Rectangle 1 and make sure the Position there is set to 0,0.

[@GustavoHenriquetutoriais]

@@Anti-StaticTV Yes, they are. I tried doing 36 squares, each being a shape, and tried 1 shape layer with 36 rectangles inside, but the second option didn't allowed me string them. I'm at work right now, but as soon as possible I'll try that. Thanks again dude!

[@jiaxuanliu]

@@Anti-StaticTV I've got the same issue and zero the Position in side each layer's Transform helped. But is the a way besides manually set those to 0,0. or maybe I done something wrong?

[@felipesalvador597]

Hey guys! Amazing tool! I've been trying to use it on AE 2024 and it's not working, any idea why? Simply trying to use the Effector, i'm able to apply it and the Null is generated but the FX is not working, nothing is reacting. maybe i'm doing something wrong, but i followed the tutorial as it is, using shape layers etc... Can you help me?

[@Anti-StaticTV]

Hi Felipe, I'm not sure what the problem is. What type of layer did you apply it to? What property are you trying to effect (Position, Scale, Rotation, Opacity)?

[@felipesalvador597]

@@Anti-StaticTV hey thanks for the quick response! I'm applying the effector into a grid made with 24 rectangle shape layers with anchor points centered to themselves. Trying to affect the position and opacity. The rectangle size is 223,223. I apply the effector, the null is created and all, but nothing happens, nothing reacts.

[@Anti-StaticTV]

Did any expression get generated on the position or opacity of the shape layers or are they blank? @@felipesalvador597

[@felipesalvador597]

@@Anti-StaticTV Yes, its generated. This one is at the position: // AS : Effector position var EF = thisComp.layer('AS : Effector_1'); var r = EF.effect('Effector Size')('Slider')/2; var p1 = thisLayer.toWorld(thisLayer.anchorPoint) var p2 = EF.toWorld(EF.anchorPoint) var delta = length(p1, p2); if (delta < r) { seedRandom(EF.effect('Main Random Seed')('Slider'), true); var ran = (Math.random()-.5)*(EF.effect('Main Effector Random')('Slider')/100); var a = Math.atan2((p1[1] - p2[1]),(p1[0] - p2[0])); var xa = Math.cos(a); var ya = Math.sin(a); var f = EF.effect('Effector Falloff')('Slider'); var c = r*((-f+100)/100); var ep = EF.effect('Effected Position %')('Slider')/100; var p = 1-(f/100); var v2 = ((r-delta)*(p*ep))+((r-delta)*ran); value + [xa*v2,ya*v2]; } else { value; }

[@zcrow9051]

No funciona para mí, el panel se ve bien y todo, pero cuando presiono "efector" solo crea el sólido, nada más, realmente no funciona. Lo comprobé en github y alguien más también tiene problemas para usarlo en After Effects

[@pitsutaa.1776]

cool tools! , thank you

[@Angel_Castanon]

Hello I love this tool...or so I think. because the Effector doesn't work for me. For example, this message appears to me: After Effects Warning: Expression Disabled Error at line´Scale´ of layer (´Shape layer 1´) in ´Comp 1´. Function Math.random is undefined. When I go to the expression it says this: ... var ran = (Math.random()-.5)*(EF.effect('Main Effector Random')('Slider')/10); ... Any questions on what the problem could be? I have the latest version of After Effects. 24.1 Thank you very much in advance. Angel

[@Angel_Castanon]

I have seen that the version found on github has corrected the bug. but the problem is that I remove the Aejuice script and insert the new one and this last one does not recognize it. The message comes out: "Unable tyo execute script at line 40. Expected: } "

[@Anti-StaticTV]

Are you using a non-english version of After Effects by chance? It seems like there is a bug when using a different language.@@Angel_Castanon

[@Angel_Castanon]

@@Anti-StaticTV Hello! I am in Spain but the version of after affects is in English. Other idea? The rest work perfectly. Thks

[@Angel_Castanon]

I have tried to see the script of aejuice to see if it is something different... But it is rare that it is from aejuice it loads but "effector" does not work and yet I cannot load the one from github even though I previously removed the other one

[@Angel_Castanon]

My after effects is official. with subscription, of course. thks

[@OrdinaryKim]

Does this work for AE 2021? For me it does not

[@Anti-StaticTV]

Sorry, it may not. Unfortunately, I am unable to download that version for testing. It works just fine in my version of AE 2022.

[@OrdinaryKim]

@@Anti-StaticTV ok, thx a lot! The tool is great!

[@cdertschei]

[EDIT: It seems to work with non english systems now!] This sounds nice but seems to be absolutely useless for any non-enlish version of After Effects; it seems the scripts are not unifed... It would be woinderful, if there was a internationally working version of this script.
