Tired of wrestling with the default AE camera? HandyCam simplifies every aspect of animated cameras in AE.

Available now at aescripts.com

This PlugIn was designed because we felt that the default after effects camera tools are a bit... rough so taking inspiration from 3D apps like Maya, HandyCam was crafted to make animated AE cameras as painless as possible.

Easy orbit controls, with advanced options.

Target layers whilst moving in world-space. Option to focus on layers independent of the “look-at” layer.

Lens controls using intuitive units (mm) instead of degrees. Also features one click dolly zoom.

 

Easy controls for emulating handheld movement + DoF wiggles.

Create beautiful camera moves.

Easy bake means you can easily send your project to another animator and open it on a computer that doesn’t have HandyCam.

 

Features include:

  • Full orbit controls

  • Look at target, including focus on target

  • Intuitive lens controls (mm not degrees!)

  • One click dolly-zoom

  • Wiggle controls to simulate handheld looks

  • Easy baking to hand off your scene to other computers / animators who don’t have HandyCam

  • No hidden / parented layers like other camera rigs

  • Inspired by camera rigs in 3D apps like Maya

  • Compatible with both legacy and current expression engines
