   • Should be like C:/Program Files/Adobe/Adobe After Effects 20XX/Support Files/Scripts/ScriptUI Panels/LoopUtils.jsx
4. Open After Effects, click Window in the menu bar at the top and click LoopUtils.jsx.

See the Quick Start or User Guide for more information.

Dev Environment Setup

Note: This is for those who want to modify the plugin functionality. If you're just looking to use the plugin you don't need to perform these steps!

Requirements

• node.js v16

This app uses rollup to monitor for changes to the src folder, and automatically compiles the plugin to build/LoopUtils.jsx and to the AE script folder (path specified in rollup.config.js).

Set up

1. Run npm ci
2. Update the path in rollup.config.js to your AE script folder
3. Run terminal as administrator, npm run watch
   • Changes to src will immediately be updated in After Effects. Close the plugin window and reopen it to see them.
   • Note: You need to run as admin to copy the plugin to a protected folder (Program Files). If you don't want to do this you will have to copy build/LoopUtils.jsx to your script folder manually.

Lint and Test

• npm run lint
• npm run test
