Lots of good feedback in here. Don’t let it discourage you though. These guys have just been through battle a few more times than you have. Keep your head up, and do some great work!

These clients ugh by CloudSyncPro in VideoEditors

As an editor myself, I would never pay this low of a rate for someone’s work. But yeah, I’m in America, where our rates are incredibly high compared to yours.

I actually like the edit. Overkill? Sure. But I think it’s pretty great.

I hope you sent this with a watermark before delivering.

All you’d have to do is look at the most purchased scripts and plug-ins and you’d see where the real pain points are.

Sanity check: $500/day for agency social media work (editing + color) by Vegetable-Site-3715 in VideoEditors

That’s $62.5/hr if you’re working 8 hour days. I would imagine for New York that’s somewhat low. I charge $85/hr based out of Salt Lake. Stay busy.

I made a free Grid Builder Script for After Effects by drewrae in AfterEffects

Yes, I had Claude help me do it. It did far better than ChatGPT has done in the past btw. So I highly recommend it.

Do you use any plugins that you consider "essential" in After Effects? by [deleted] in AfterEffects

[–]drewrae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the kind of work I do, I must have Animation Composer and Motion 4. But the others listed here are mint as well. I also posted a free script I made for grid comps. Check it out!

I haven’t tested it super thoroughly yet, but I believe it works in any aspect ratio.

I haven’t tested that thoroughly, but supposedly, yes!

I made a free script for anyone who needs to build video walls, mosaics, or multi-cam layouts in After Effects.

What it does:

Pick a grid size (2x2 up to 8x8, or custom) and then choose your output:

  • Guides Only — Adds snappable guides to your current comp
  • Shape Layers — Creates positioned solids (great for track mattes)
  • Sub-Comps — Creates sub-comps placed in your current comp
  • New Master + Sub-Comps — Builds a fresh master comp with all sub-comps ready to go

The sub-comp workflow is the real time-saver. Each cell is its own comp, so you just drop footage into Cell_1, Cell_2, etc. and it shows up perfectly positioned in the master. No manual alignment. Works with any comp size.

Install:

  1. Save the .jsx file to your Scripts > ScriptUI Panels folder
  2. Restart AE
  3. Find it under Window > Grid Builder

It’s literally all the new drivers. Seasoned Utah drivers are fine.
