From the workbench / After Effects tools

Good work.
Less friction.

Small tools for the problems that keep showing up in production. Built around my workflows, with code written using AI. Free to download and adapt.

Lottie export

Kite

A Bodymovin fork for exporting Lottie without the CEP panel. Export .lottie files and generate an HTML player to preview them in a browser.

3D inside After Effects

CuboNaty

Before you start

A little
housekeeping.

Install as a dockable panel

Place the .jsx file in After Effects’ Scripts/ScriptUI Panels folder, restart After Effects, then open the panel from the Window menu. Use the folder for your installed version.

Compatibility and permissions

Kite and Shape Blend were tested on After Effects 25.6.5 (build 3), EN-US, Windows. CuboNaty was tested on macOS and Windows and in different languages. These are the tested environments, rather than a guarantee for every setup.

CuboNaty needs “Allow Scripts to Write Files and Access Network” enabled in Scripting & Expressions preferences to read the images assigned to cube faces.

Something isn’t working?

Send the tool version, your After Effects version, operating system, language and the step that failed. A screenshot helps.
