VFX Supervisor Julian Herrera, creator of the completely useful 3D to 2D Screen Space script for After Effects which takes a 3D position and creates an animated 2D null in it’s relative 2D screen-space, has another useful script offering -This time knocking out an Animation Stopwatch Tool for After Effects.
Animation Stopwatch is an After Effects tool to help animators block out their timing while getting to work with frame numbers rather than time codes
Animation Stopwatch is a little panel designed to help animators block out timing with a frame number reference rather than standard AE time code. Animation Stopwatch will also allow you to create a “lap” timings, where it will log every time you hit the start/lap button, showing the loop number, the time, the total elapsed time and the frame numbers (per lap) for each.
Animation Stopwatch is actually a small and relatively simple tool, but I can see it coming in handy for animators and motion graphic artists alike. Check out the Animation stopwatch Tool for After Effects here.
