ÜBER DIESE EPISODE
In this guest episode, motion designer and toolkit creator Scott Black joins Monday Meeting to talk about going from freelance animator to After Effects plugin developer, the ADHD hyperfixation that started it all, and the tools he's built to make AE faster and more fun to use.
This episode covers:
- Working with ADHD as a motion designer: Tips and tricks from the group on managing focus, task stacking, and dopamine.
- How a cold-outreach macro turned into a plugin business: The Keyboard Maestro rabbit hole that changed Scott's career.
- Control Groups: Bringing RTS-game-style layer selection to After Effects.
- Compstronaut: A back button for After Effects.
- Command Frame (free): A command palette that goes a few steps beyond FX Console and Quick Apply.
- Stream Deck and beyond: Why Scott's hardware integration works differently from the preset packs.
- Control surfaces for motion designers: Dials, foot pedals, and the gear that doesn't exist yet for AE.
