After Effects scripts? What are they? How do they work? What can they do for me? I’m setting up my new machine and looking for all those nice little components on the last Mac that I forget I installed, and I revisited AEScripts.com to reinstall my favorite, the BG Renderer (and found this one, too).

Basically, an After Effects script automates something that would typically take a long time to do by hand. Or, it would be impossible to do normally. They have to be understood because different scripts are applied differently, but the payoff is well worth it to learn.
