What It Does
renderSounds replaces the default After Effects render complete and error notification sounds with your own audio files. Instead of restarting After Effects to change system sounds, you control them from a panel and swap files instantly.
Key Features
Custom notification sounds. Drop WAV files into a designated folder to use your own audio for render complete and render error alerts. The plugin reads from this folder and lets you select sounds from the panel.
No restart required. Changes apply immediately without closing After Effects. Switch between sounds during a session as needed.
Simple panel interface. The plugin adds a panel where you select which WAV files to use for each notification type.
Who It’s For
Useful if you run long renders and want distinct audio alerts, whether to hear notifications from another room or just replace the default sounds with something less jarring.
Pricing
renderSounds uses pay-what-you-want pricing. You choose your price, starting from free. This lets you try it risk-free and pay what feels fair for the utility it provides.
Compatibility: Works with After Effects CC 2015 through CS4. Current version is 1.0.0, released May 2016.
