What It Does
pt_AutoExpress removes the scripting barrier from After Effects expressions. Select any property and apply wiggle, smooth, or loop behaviors with one click. The script adds effect controllers named after each expression property, giving you visual controls instead of code to edit.
Key Features
Wiggle adds randomized motion for camera shake, flickering lights, or natural variation in animation. Select a position, rotation, or opacity property and apply the expression to create controlled randomness without keyframes.
Smooth reduces abrupt changes in keyframed animation. When hand-animated motion feels too mechanical or jittery, this expression averages values over time to create more natural movement.
Loop repeats existing keyframes either as a cycle or ping-pong (forward then backward). Useful for walk cycles, background elements, or any animation that needs to repeat seamlessly. Works with any keyframed property.
Each expression gets its own effect controller in the Effects panel, so you can adjust parameters numerically instead of editing code. The interface shows clearly which properties have expressions applied.
Who It’s For
Animators who want expression-driven motion without learning JavaScript syntax. Useful for editors who occasionally need procedural animation but don’t write code regularly. Also valuable for advanced users who want faster access to these common expressions during iteration.
Pricing
