Aescripts Cloners + Effectors v1.2.8 (Win, Mac)

Aescripts Cloners + Effectors v1.2.8 is a cutting-edge procedural animation plugin designed for Adobe After Effects (compatible with Windows and Mac) that dramatically simplifies the process of animating multiple layers at once. Instead of painstakingly keyframing every individual layer, this powerful tool enables animators to use effectors and falloffs to create complex, synchronized animations across numerous layers efficiently and precisely.

This plugin is ideal for motion designers and animators working with dense compositions, allowing them to achieve intricate animations that would normally require hours of manual keyframing in just minutes. Inspired by workflows common in 3D animation software, Cloners + Effectors brings advanced cloning and animation controls directly into After Effects.

Key new features in version 1.2 include advanced path cloners and effectors like Path Cloner, Path Point Cloner, Path Effector, and Path Ends Effector, available on After Effects 2018 and later versions. Additional improvements include parentable cloner layers, removal of the 20-clone trial limit, and enhanced offset variation controls for more flexible animations.

The plugin supports various cloning patterns such as Linear, Radial, and Grid arrangements, all fully customizable with parametric controls. Effectors allow precise manipulation of position, scale, color, and even custom numerical parameters on cloned layers. Combine effectors like Random, Measure, Pulse, and Noise to generate organic and dynamic animations without setting keyframes manually.

Falloffs can be added to effectors for spatially controlled animation adjustments, making it simple to create complex animated effects with fewer keyframes and greater control. Cloners + Effectors also excels in animating text and vector illustrations, providing unmatched flexibility for dynamic typographic and logo animations.

Supporting both 2D and 3D layers, the plugin seamlessly integrates into After Effects 3D space, enabling users to clone and animate objects in true 3D environments. Its compatibility with HiDPI panels ensures sharp visuals on high-resolution displays.

In summary, Aescripts Cloners + Effectors v1.2.8 is an indispensable tool for motion designers and animators who want to save time, increase creative control, and produce sophisticated multi-layer animations efficiently.
