Introducing Prolost EDC for After Effects

October 08, 2015

Over my many years using After Effects, I’ve always kept with me a set of simple, homemade utility presets. Most are just shortcuts to effect settings I use all the time, or easy ways of applying common expressions. Lately, a few of them have gotten a little more complex too.

Prolost Spanner 2D makes it easy to set aim one 2D layer at another.

These are my go-everywhere-with-me After Effects mini-tools, which reminded me of the concept of an “Everyday Carry,” or EDC. There’s a bit of a fetish out there, which I admit I share, for compact, efficient tools that one never leaves home without — in fact, there’s a whole site dedicated to it, where just about every day you can find the last watch, wallet, or pocketknife you’ll ever need. And then find a new one tomorrow.

So today I’m releasing Prolost EDC for After Effects. It’s a fun experiment in a couple of ways:

Pay What You Like

You decide what Prolost EDC is worth to you. You can pay anything you like, even nothing at all.

Free Updates Forever

Prolost EDC is a subscription. I can’t promise how often, but I’ll add to the set over time, and release free updates. You’ll be notified by email whenever this happens.

Prolost EDC is available now. You can see the complete list of presets here.
