If you have a love/hate relationship with expressions in Adobe After Effects, then this is the plugin for you. It also creates a responsive/modular rectangular shape layer based on the size and the anchor point position of the selected layers. Apply to multiple layers at a time (and not just text elements). You can quickly reposition the anchor point to anywhere on the layer, control margins, and much more. smartREKT gives more size options by sizing the rectangular shape layer from different pivot points. The default Rectangle Tool in Adobe AE creates a shape layer that only sizes from the center of the shape, which as you may already know can be extremely frustrating. The smartREKT script takes the Adobe After Effect's Rectangle Tool and sends it into beast mode.
If you create motion graphics templates for Premiere Pro users, this plugin is a must-have.
Align and attach elements to any point of the bounding box of texts and create boxes that grow and shrink with their content. Create even the most complex layouts with just two very simple concepts: pins and boxes. Instead of writing complex layout expressions, this lovely tool will take care of all the technical details. Pins & Boxes allows users to create dynamic and responsive layouts easily. If you have Trapcode Mir 3, Mettle FreeFormPro, or Rowbyte Plexus 3 installed you can create gorgeous 3D landscapes setups in one click based on real elevation data. Users can quickly and easily style maps, create data-driven animations, and import large datasets and other elements via TSV, CSV, GEOJSON and KML formats.
