After Effects Script - LayerMonkey v1.00

LayerMonkey v1.00 (Aescripts)

LayerMonkey is a versatile script for After Effects that arranges and animates your comp's layers in time and space. It also creates a camera and generates a master control layer that makes timing and global adjustments a piece of cake. Now stills, videos, pre-comps, eps, solids, shapes and text can be used as kinetic elements in a complex monkey-generated compostion with a simple push of a button.
