“Useful Assistants brings an unprecedented level of automation to After Effects. Not only can virtually any sequence of user operations can be encapsulated into an Assistant, but because it can access the inner workings of After Effects it can do things that would be difficult if not impossible to do manually. I am really impressed with this tool.”
