IVG Toolkit: After Effects scripts

What it is

The scripts I wrote over years of motion work, collected into one free MIT-licensed library: 35 production scripts in 7 categories (animation, composition, effects, keyframes, layers, paths, utilities), plus Build-a-Bar, a dockable command bar that puts one button per script in a panel.

What it does

Each script automates a setup I got tired of rebuilding: IK rigs, path-following, keyframe cloning and randomising, null and controller creation, camera moves, expression helpers, audio-driven effects. You can take the whole panel or just the one tool you need.

Features

35 scripts, each with its own icon, documentation and version (for example CamBot, Limb-a-tron, PathMaster, Linearizer, 2-3 IK Rigger)
Build-a-Bar: a dockable ScriptUI panel, and a native AEGP command bar plugin, with icon buttons that reflow when docked horizontally or vertically
Website with a catalog, per-script docs and a client-side bundle generator that builds your own bar
Automated test harness (static, expression, functional and UI checks)

Capabilities

Rigging (IK/FK limbs), path animation and retiming, keyframe manipulation and easing, layer and null utilities, colour and audio effects, repeatable comp templates.

Compatibility

Adobe After Effects (scripts run as ScriptUI/ExtendScript)
Native Build-a-Bar plugin: macOS Apple Silicon and Intel, Windows x64

Availability

Free, MIT licensed, public repository ivg-design/AE; download the full ZIP from forge.mograph.life/apps/ae. Each script has its own version.

Under the hood

JSX (ExtendScript) source organised as a monorepo, a static site generated from script front matter, and a C++/Obj-C++ AEGP plugin (private repo) for the native bar.
