I’ve got three proposals out and nothing locked in through the end of the year. If you need an experienced motion designer, vfx artist, product manager, pipeline architect, or drumming personal chef, let me know!

So who needs tags/metadata in After Effects? I got myself down a bit of a scripting rabbit hole this weekend, becoming a tad obsessive about the lack of user accessible tags and metadata in After Effects.

Things like "comments" or "tape name" don't seem writeable, so I worked up a method of using a "tag data" comp that stores metadata in text layers referencing the item ID.

This is part of a bigger organizational project tool I am working on, and in the end might be overkill for many. Currently it wouldn't be useful for anyone aside from developing tools that need to reference user defined footage and comp metadata. More info to come! Let me know your thoughts.

Coming soon. In my spare time as an unemployed artist, I have delved into the world of script utilities. Inspired by my frustrations with a recent freelance job of needing to make lots of arrowheads, I wrote my own utility. 1000 lines of code later, Quiver is almost ready for release.

You are up to date.
