AEScripts is a required destination for After Effects users. I featured their work (Magnum – the Edit Detector) last year in my Ninja Video Sampling workflow. Last month they relaunched the site with a sleek new look, and a sleek new Name Your Own Price model for their scripts.
Some great new additions to the site include Randomizer, Sequence Layers, AudioAmpToVideoSpeed, rd: Slicer and RepositionAnchorPoint. These, and most of the other scripts on the site, feature a $0 price minimum. So you can get the scripts for free, and drop some cash later if they become an indispensable part of your workflow.

The most recent script release – pt_Panorama – was used in combination with some Trapcode filters (Lux and Particular most prominently) in this lovely spot for Lexus:
JMDesign is hosting 3 tutorial videos explaining how a lot of these effects were created.
How much do we love people sharing their tools and techniques!
