# AEMap Utilities v0.3

Deal with a bunch of layers

These utilities can be used to deal with multiple layers. They are usefull not only for maps. There has been no change from verison 0.2 to 0.3. The only change is that it got tested in After Effects CS6 and seem to work. So the tutorial and images stay the same.

### Sequencer

This tool lets you sequence your selected layers from the inpoint of the first one by a defined offset. Select some layers. Set a value and hit the button!. The field only accepts digits.

### Set Duration

This tool allows you to change the duration of your the selected comps and layers. It will not change the frame-rate. You can define either to use seconds or frames. If frames are selected you can only use digits. With seconds you can use floating point values. You can change the used base frame-rate in the fpsval field.

### Collapse and 3D

This tool gives you the possibility to to make all selected comps and layers 3D or collapse their transformation, or both. This is not such a big deal but if you select "precomps?" it will step into each source comp of the selection and do the same for them. Also the precomp within the precomp within the precomp…

### Bake Expressions

This tool allows you to bake several selected expressions or all expressions an the selected layers. This can take some time. Don't be greedy ;)

### Tiny Tools

These oneshot tools make some tasks easier.
- name 2 source changes the source name of the selected layer to the given name in the comp
- source 2 name changes the name of the selected layer to the source name in the project
- marker/frame adds on the selected alyer a marker per frame for the workare duration
- marker/prcmps adds a marker for every source.layer in point for the selected layer
- new render loc changes the render location of all queue item in the render list and adds a folder with that name for every eport module. If the folder exists it uses this folder. Usefull when rendering lots of image sequences.
- CamWithDolly adds a 50mm camera to the comp and a dolly with some wiggle expression controls.
- Zorro 2 txt This creates for every Zorro-Tag of every selected layer a textlayer.
- undefined This is an unused button. you can enable it somewhere around line 280 something. Look for `win.nothing.enabled = false;`
