What It Does
Get-Sh*t-Done compresses multi-step workflows into single clicks. Instead of right-clicking through menus to add a Trapcode effect to a new solid, then renaming the layer, you select it from a dropdown and everything happens at once. Created by Markus Feder, it targets the small, repetitive tasks that eat up time during project setup and compositing.
Key Features
Basic layer creation. Generate text layers, solids, lights, cameras, nulls, and adjustment layers without menu diving. The Camera (AutoOrient off) option gives you a camera with auto-orientation already disabled, useful for manual control. Slider Control adds an expression control effect to your selected layer in one step.
Project Setup. Creates a standard folder structure (PreComps, Material, Audio, Solids) automatically. The Timecode function places a timecode display in the lower right corner of your comp.
Adjustment presets. Apply common effect stacks to adjustment layers instantly. Color Correction adds Levels, Curves, and Saturation together. Other presets include Tritone, Looks, Fast Blur, FL Depth of Field, and RSMB. You can also create an empty adjustment layer.
Trapcode shortcuts. Select a Trapcode effect from the menu, and the script creates a solid or adjustment layer with that effect already applied, named appropriately.
Generate menu. Quickly add solids with effects like Fill, Ramp, 4-Color Gradient, Checkerboard, Grid, or Fractal Noise. Three options let you change your composition background to black, white, or red without opening comp settings.
Who It’s For
Motion designers who set up similar project structures repeatedly or frequently apply the same effect combinations. If you use Trapcode plugins regularly, the dedicated menu will save noticeable time. The tool works best if your workflow includes predictable steps that you perform multiple times per project.
