Two ways to add a script

Run it once, or install it for good. Either way it takes about a minute.

  1. 1

    Move the .jsx file into your ScriptUI Panels folder

    Windows: Program Files\Adobe\Adobe After Effects [version]\Support Files\Scripts\ScriptUI Panels. macOS: /Applications/Adobe After Effects [version]/Scripts/ScriptUI Panels.

  2. 2

    Restart After Effects

    The script appears at the bottom of the Window menu, and it docks like any other panel.

OR RUN IT
  1. 1

    Run it once without installing

    In After Effects, use File → Scripts → Run Script File, and choose the .jsx.
