So we can go ahead and preview this and see what I'm talking about. And our light orb will just kind of spin around beyond the one second mark. And if we scrubbed through it, we can see that our, um, composition will automatically update.

So if you zoom out, you'll see that all of our layers are now set to 15 seconds long. So I'm going to go ahead and zoom out here. All these other settings are fine and we will go ahead and hit apply.Д¬aleb Ward (04:08): So it doesn't look like a lot change, but it actually did quite a bit in just a few seconds there. And then the duration we're going to change to, we can do 15 seconds and make sure seconds is selected right there. All of these other parameters here will just remain at default unless you change them.

So what we can do is we can just go to file scripts and we're going to run our comp set our script here, and we will make sure the width and height is set to 1920, by 10 80. You have to then go back in and adjust the duration of all your compositions inside of your composition. But the problem is, if you want to adjust a pre copy, can't do it. So it's usually not that big of a deal to go in and we can select all of them and then we can extend them out here.Д¬aleb Ward (03:23): It's a, it's annoying, but you know, it gets the job done. But if you zoom out here, you'll see that all of your layers are only at one second. So typically you'd go to composition, composition settings, and we could change this duration from a one second to 10 seconds and hit, okay. We have a one-second composition, so let's say we wanted to adjust it to be a ten second composition. So that's important because typically, so let's, let's take a look at our competition here. So, uh, the comp center basically allows you to change the duration of your composition, and it will automatically change your pre comps and your layers and your timeline to match the new duration. One of my favorite scripts inside of this script set is called the comp center.

Now, obviously I'm not going to show you how to use all 51, but I wanted to show you just a few of the different scripts in that pack.Д¬aleb Ward (02:31): So you can get an idea of kind of what utility tasks these different scripts can do for your project. So this is actually 51 different scripts for after effects and every single one of them are free.

So the next free tool that I want to talk about is the redefiner free script set. And so you can just select, uh, you know, whichever but style you like the best. And then you can just go to window and run the butt capper script there, and we'll pop up this little panel. So do you use, but capper, all you have to do is select your shape layer. And it's up here in the top, right panel here.

So the best thing that you can do is download this free tool called bud capper. Now this is not necessarily a terrible way to do this, but if you work with a lot of shape layers, and if you're an after effects artist, and specifically, if you're on school of motion, there's a great chance that you do a lot of shape layer work.Д¬aleb Ward (01:50): This is not ideal. And then you would go over here to, uh, the line cap and you would change it to a bud cap or a round cap or a projecting cap. You'd have to go to contents, go to the shape. Uh, so if we wanted to normally do that, you'd have to go down here to the dropdown menu. We don't want them to have rounded buts, come on, be mature here, people. And let's say we wanted these edges to be harsh right here. Well, normally let's say we have this design right here, and this is a shape layer.

So the first tool that I want to talk to you about is a well, I got to admit, it's kind of a funny name it's called, but Kapur.Д¬aleb Ward (00:59): And you know, you know how whenever you're working with a shape layer and after effects and you need to cap those butts. You'll find a link in the description of this video. All you have to do is just click the download link. Now, like all the tutorials here at school of motion, the project files are completely free. So let's get started with the very first free tool. So if you're feeling generous, even though they're free, you know, feel free to donate some money towards their causes, they are doing fantastic work and they definitely deserve it. Now all of these tools are fantastic resources for any after-effects artists, but at the end of the day, these tools were created by a developer. And in this after effects tutorial, I'm going to show you how to use five free tools and aftereffects. This is Caleb ward with school of motion.
