Motion Tools from Motion Design School has a lot of useful tools like anchor point repositioning, layer sequencing, easier easing, and a lot more. I think it explodes shape layers too. A lot of functions other scripts give you all in one place. You get it when you run through their basic and quick free introductory class.

I can’t live without it!! You can secuence layers, clone keyframes, convert illustrator layers into shape deleting artboards and separate your letters in shapes from your text layer??? Is the BEST pluging by far! Iblove your vídeos Ben!! 😍

@@BenMarriott Yeah it's based off the mt.mograph motion2 one... most of the same tools bar a couple of tools like the warp and rope and "look at" stuff....but the anchor point and ease curves are def there and that's the real power anyway :) Some of the other free plugins: from VideoCoPilot like VC reflect is nice too. There is also a mini kit I found on ae scripts I think called EFX tools? 2 plugins....1 that lets you select 5 colours and mattes/keys them all at the same time (useful in 3D compositing when you have a colour ID pass) and an alpha streak choker which searches your image for single lines or pixels of alpha and fills them...so if you have keyed something or matted something and there is an annoying edge where it meets something else, or some rogue pixels this can choke it out easily. If I think of more I'll share! Thanks for these vids Ben!

Thanks man! They might not be the most exciting plugins, but there definitely the most useful.

WOW thanks they are all amazing, can see myself utilising all of these!

Another very useful scripts Rift and Reposition Anchor point. As well as a collection of RD scripts

1 Keycloner (copy keyframes from one layer to several layers at 1 clic) 2 Autocrop (crop a precomp to the size of the objects) 3 Reposition anchor point

Fantastic work as always Ben! I have been using Flow (which is fantastic in its own right) for ease copying, but I don't know that it works on more than 2 keyframes at a time, so definitely grabbing Ease Copy...along with the rest of them!
