Mamoworld, home of Mathias Möhl and friends, has published a new script KeyTweak “KeyTweak is a powerful After Effects script to modify many keyframes of a property at once. It can be used, for example, to refine a rotoscoping mask without the need to touch every single keyframe separately: Just correcet a few keyframes by hand and KeyTweak adjusts the remaining keyframes accordingly.”

NoRich comment on his blog: “A tutorial video in 2 parts. In part 1, the pop-up and 3D scene is built, then in part 2 trigonometry and more is used for interaction between layers to unfold elements with a minimal number of keyframes. Seems pretty cool and you can adjust the camera animation to taste.”
