This is where you can make your life easier. Now, hit the Gear icon on the right side of the UI, and youвЂ™ll be presented with the Settings window where you can adjust things like the UI Color, the shortcut to call up the FXC AND, youвЂ™ll notice on the right, that your Fast Blur favorite is listed in the dialogue box, with a couple of columns called Alias and Override.

Well, if you do the process again, and this time, once Fast Blur is displayed in the FXC, right click on it and select вЂњAdd to FavoritesвЂќ. You can do this for as many effects as you want. Once youвЂ™ve typed it in, simply hit enter, and the effect will immediately be added to your clip. YouвЂ™ll now notice that there is an input box with вЂњFXвЂќ in it, where you can type the name of the effect youвЂ™re looking for. Simply select the clip you want to add the effect to, and call up the FXC (if itвЂ™s not up already) with the shortcut. Say with a few letters of typing and one click. What if I told you there was an easier way to do this process. Pretty straightforward workflow for After Effects artists. The process is to head to the Effects & Presets window, wait for it to load up, either scroll to, or search for the effect you want to apply, and drag it onto your clip. LetвЂ™s say you have a clip in your timeline that you want to add a Fast Blur to. Okay, so letвЂ™s now talk about exactly with the FXC does.Д«asically, in a nutshell, itвЂ™s designed to take tasks that you do on a minute by minute basis, and make them easier. The FXC will sit over top of the interface, and wonвЂ™t disappear, which makes it very handy when assigning tasks to certain clips. Otherwise, I normally like to just work with it via the Window drop down, and moving it to an area of my display that is not being taken up by the AE interface (it can be docked as well). One thing that I do want to point out is that you can launch FXC via the shortcut, but this workflow is normally recommended if you want to use the FXC with a specific clip thatвЂ™s already selected. This shortcut can be altered, but weвЂ™ll get to that in just a second.

Once youвЂ™re ready to go, the FXC can be вЂњLaunchedвЂќ via the standard keyboard shortcut of CTL + Space on both Mac and Windows.

Keep in mind that youвЂ™ll want to have the вЂњAllow Scripts to Write Files and Access NetworkвЂќ option checked in your General Preferences, or the Script wonвЂ™t install or run properly. Once youвЂ™ve downloaded the script, which is a whopping 3 mb, youвЂ™ll be up and running with it in a few minutes. ThatвЂ™s something else that I want to point out, and that is that Video Copilot always makes sure to release all versions of their plug-ins and tools for both Mac and Windows, which is great to see. The FX Console (FXC) is a Script UI that is available for both Mac and Windows.

ItвЂ™s a fantastic free tool that you can use in After Effects to speed up the more mundane processes you do on a minute by minute basis. The free tool IвЂ™m talking about is Video CopilotвЂ™s FX Console.

Andrew Kramer and his team are constantly coming up with new and VERY cool tools that either add something stylistic to your work, or in this case, to add some great functionality that you might not have had before. ThatвЂ™s not the case when it comes to products from Video Copilot.

Normally when you see something thatвЂ™s free, your first thought isвЂ¦.вЂќOkay, whatвЂ™s wrong with it?вЂќ, meaning that it could very well be only part of a product, and the full version will give you the full set of tools you need to do the complete job, or that the tool is just, well, crappy in general. Free normally comes at a price, as funny as that sounds.
