What It Does
Motion Tweaks is a toolkit of After Effects scripts created by Motion Design School to streamline repetitive tasks in motion design work. Rather than a single-purpose tool, it bundles modular utilities for precomposing, 3D primitive generation, shape manipulation, path animation, and layer rigging. Each script solves one specific problem, letting you work faster on the creative parts.
Key Features
3D Primitives. Generate cubes and cylinders in one click. Choose between stroke-based or solid versions, with controls for faux 3D effects and path manipulation in 3D space.
Smart Precomping. Precompose layers with automatic cropping to trim unnecessary canvas space. Also includes one-click comp scaling and duration adjustments.
Shape Tools. Fix shape directions, manage strokes across multiple layers, add wave effects to paths, and change the starting vertex of shape layer paths or masks with Rotate First Vertex.
Animation Helpers. Apply sine wiggles with XY axis control, trim paths without breaking shapes, and rig properties with linked effects, delays, frequency/amplitude adjustments, and random seeds.
Layer Utilities. Change BG quickly swaps background colors. Unique Label assigns distinct labels to selected layers. Dependener stretches keyframes across the timeline while maintaining relative spacing.
Flexible UI. Scripts appear in a customizable grid with categories, tooltips, and dark/white themes matching your After Effects interface. Compact mode available for smaller screens.
Who It’s For
Motion designers who animate shape layers, build rigs, or work with 3D primitives. Useful if you frequently precomp, adjust paths, or apply wiggle expressions to multiple properties. The scripts handle edge cases (like null validation, property type checks, and expression compatibility) to reduce errors in production work.
