LayerMonkey是一个After Effect脚本,在时间和空间上它可以管理和为你的合成图层做动画。

它还创建了一个父子关系摄像机和生成一个主控制层,使得它可以全局调整时间和动画。

现在照片、视频和pre-comps（预合成）可以用作动力元素复杂monkey-generated组成，只需要一个简单的按下的按钮。

LayerMonkey is a versatile script for After Effects that arranges and animates your comp’s layers in time and space.

It also creates a camera and generates a master control layer that makes timing and global adjustments a piece of cake.

Now stills, videos, pre-comps, eps, solids, shapes and text can be used as kinetic elements in a complex monkey-generated compostion with a simple push of a button.

主要特点：

– Creates randomized complex kinetic layouts using layers in your comp based on parameters entered into the control panel.

– Features 3 different algorithms with a Justify option.

– Works with stills, video, pre-comps, shapes, solids, text, eps and pretty much any other type of layer AE accepts.

– Multiple controls for handling time-based layers.

– Variable layer order options.

– Keyframe-less timeline makes changes to timing as simple as sliding a marker.

– Creates a parented camera that points to each successive layer as it transitions on.

– Distributes markers across the timeline in 3 different ways.

– Exludes non- image based layers in comp such as nulls, cameras, audio and adjustments.

– Manual adjustments are easily made to size, position, rotation and opacity.

– Features a wide range of type transitions randomly selected by default, but can be specified as well.

– Marker Sync feature allows for push button alignment with preexisting marker layers, making syncing to music a breeze.

– Allows for different interpolation for camera movement, auto rotate and auto frame.

– Automatically builds and cleans to facilitate easy experimentation.

– Palette controls makes colorizing layers very easy.

– Supports motion blur, lock & shy, and preset Load and Save.
