Baffects.js
Baffects.js is a library adaptation of the Processing language in JavaScript for Adobe After Effects. It allows for most of the functionality included in Processing to be used natively in After Effects, plus a custom workflow to enhance productivity.
To create new sketches:
Duplicate the file in 'baffectsjs/scketches/template.jsx' to be able to run your sketches in After Effects.
To run sketches:
- Download Adobe ExtendScript Toolkit and press play button or from the menu Debug - Run.
- In After Effects go to the menu File - Scripts - Run Script File...
Visual Studio Code workflow
Visual Studio Code can use the following extensions to make it easier to run and debug scripts:
- Adobe Script Runner (on windows machines you have to update After Effects path for CC 2020)
- ExtendScript Debuggger
IMPORTANT NOTE: Currently only the **english language** version is fully supported because of properties name conventions inside After Effects.
