What It Does
Hugly processes After Effects expressions by either obfuscating them into unreadable code to protect your work, or beautifying them for better readability when sharing. It operates in both directions, letting you toggle between protection and clarity as needed.
Key Features
Remove whitespace and comments. Strips out spacing and documentation to compress your code into dense, hard-to-scan blocks.
Scramble variables. Renames all variables to single-letter identifiers (a, b, c) to obscure their purpose.
Add math noise. Injects pointless calculations that execute without changing the result, creating false complexity for anyone reading the code.
Convert if/else to ternary. Compresses conditional logic into compact ternary operators, making control flow harder to parse.
Add fake variables. Inserts decoy variables that serve no function, creating dead ends for anyone trying to reverse-engineer your expressions.
Beautify code. Formats expressions with proper indentation and spacing when you need to share clean, readable code.
Who It’s For
Useful if you distribute templates or MOGRTs and want to prevent others from easily copying your expression logic. Also helps when you inherit messy projects and need to reformat expressions for maintenance.
