ExpressionUniversalizer

Expressions, Resources

This script will convert the expressions in your projects so that they are compatible with After Effects running in any language. If you are an After Effects template author or create projects for international clients you’ve certainly ran into the situation where your expressions break on your client’s machine. This is where ExpressionUniversalizer will come the rescue! Just run the script on your projects before you post or send them and they will be guaranteed to work!

It’s very easy to use, simply choose whether you want to process the current comp or all the comps in your project and click on the Universalize Expressions button. That’s it. There is an option to create a log file in case you want a detailed record of what is being converted or if you run into any trouble.

The script can universalize expressions written in these languages: English, French, German, Italian, Spanish and Japanese. If you would like your language added please get in touch. This is only to support what language the expression is originally written in, once the project has been universalized it can be opened by ANY language.

The geeky explanation of how the script does this is it converts all the localized effect references in your expressions to the After Effects “under the hood” match name which is the same in every language. If you are asking why AE doesn’t just use this match name when you pickwhip expressions it is because match names are not very user friendly to read. The script works by reading the name of your effect to convert it so try to avoid renaming your effects until after you’ve run the script. The script has a database of all the expression effects so it supports custom names for these effects but not for other third party effects, so definitely wait to rename third party effects until after you’ve universalized the project.
