now serving on aescripts.com

if you haven’t read/heard on the wire, some of my more popular scripts are now also available on lloyd alvarez’s aescripts.com site as part of its relaunch. you can still download them and others here (for the foreseeable future), but i wanted to make it easier for AE users to “shop” for some of my favorites along with those from other script authors, and lloyd was kind enough to expand the focus of his site.

so why purchase a script from aescripts.com when you can download it here for free? convenience, and to show your support for them. i don’t expect to retire from contributions. ;-) in fact, i’m hoping to donate my portion of the proceeds to some of my favorite charities (the leukemia & lymphoma society, american diabetes association, the nature conservancy — ones i already suggest with my rd: Donate script) or those in my local community doing good deeds.

do consider checking out aescripts.com and the quality of its offerings. lloyd’s Immigration script is killer! paul tuersley’s EffectSearch is super-handy, too. these and the other authors have spent a lot of free time developing their scripts, so do consider supporting their efforts.

so where does that leave redefinery.com? no changes right now. i might include more scripts on aescripts.com at some point, but you can still download earlier versions and the more techny scripts here. also, the reference material isn’t going away.

after effects cs4 9.0.2 now available

the 9.0.2 update for after effects cs4 is now available. choose help > updates from within the app. more info at my colleague’s blog.

for mac users of my scripts, the crash on quit when a dockable panel (ScriptUI Panels) script was open at startup or opened during the session has been fixed. the update has lots of other stability improvements for all users.
