The plugin, available for Mac and Windows, adds an Edit menu item, Copy Image, which copies the current composition image to the clipboard.

We’ll take it as axiomatic that scripting After Effects is pretty keen. But sometimes you can get lost in the nest of properties, property groups, values, attributes, and the subtle differences in nomenclature for properties and attributes used by After Effects and the JavaScript.
It is definitely possible to access and manipulate each vertex on a [...]

Here’s a pair of Illustrator scripts I’ve had up for a while, but this is the first time I’ve posted examples. Also, Javier Enciso of www.formaestudio.com in Uruguay spotted a bug in the triangle script, which is now fixed.

Hello from balmy Penang, Malaysia!
My Northern California employer, a well-known FPGA vendor, has an office here in Penang Malaysia. I got permission to “telecommute” from here for a couple of months. Today is just cooling down, it’s 5pm and about 80F outside, with a chance of rain. Same weather year round.
Not much in the way [...]
