Preview Generator lets you create animated previews for your After Effects content.

How is this for nonsense? After Effects does not have the ability to instantly preview the content of clips and compositions. This is in spite of the fact that Premiere Pro handles this strongly.

Preview all presets, compositions and folder live with new After Effects script

Perhaps a bit annoyed, Motion Graphics Designer Alex White, created Preview Generator, which he deems the “best GIF maker for After Effects on the market today.”

Preview Generator can batch export GIF files from compositions, folders or presets and preview them all in one place.

It takes a single click to create previews for any number of selections in the Ae project panel, and places them in one place for viewing.

The After Effects script has a lot of settings and things you can customize, but in the end you will get the best looking animated GIFs and really save some time.

Preview Generator looks to be a great way to created animated thumbnails for your assets, so they can be auditioned and found easily.

The script will also allow you to create a preview gallery from existing animated GIF files.
