Installation & First Run

CurveConductor is a single ScriptUI panel. Run it on demand, or dock it permanently in your workspace.

Installing as a dockable panel

1. Quit After Effects if it is open.
2. Copy the CurveConductor .jsx file into your After Effects Scripts ▸ ScriptUI Panels folder.
   • Windows: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe After Effects [ver]\Support Files\Scripts\ScriptUI Panels\
   • macOS: /Applications/Adobe After Effects [ver]/Scripts/ScriptUI Panels/
3. Launch After Effects and open it from the Window menu.
4. Dock the panel anywhere — it behaves like any native panel.

Allow scripts to write files

Enable Preferences ▸ Scripting & Expressions ▸ Allow Scripts to Write Files and Access Network. CurveConductor needs this to create its control layer and manage expressions.

Running without installing

To try it without copying files, choose File ▸ Scripts ▸ Run Script File… and select the .jsxbin. It opens as a floating window for that session.

Requirements

• ✅ After Effects 2022 and later with ExtendScript / ScriptUI.
• ✅ The expression engine enabled (default).
• ✅ A composition with at least one keyframed property to work on.
