What is it?

QualityControl gives you control over the render quality of your project at the click of a button. Save layer properties, effect parameters and composition switches like frame blending, motion blur and depth of field, to three presets. Then, apply them project-wide, instantly, in one click.

Installation

First, close After Effects if it’s open. Unzip the zip file that you’ve downloaded from aescripts. Copy QualityControl.jsxbin to your ScriptUI Panels folder. If you’re not sure where this is, don’t worry. Here’s a handy reminder:

MacOS: /Applications/Adobe After Effects (version)/Scripts/ScriptUI Panels

Windows: Program Files\\Adobe\\Adobe After Effects (version)\\Support Files\\Scripts\\ScriptUI Panels

And that's it! Just reopen After Effects and launch QualityControl by clicking Window > QualityControl.jsxbin

QualityControl is designed to be docked into the After Effects interface, so it won’t run from the File > Scripts menu.

Licensing & Trial

We know you’ll love QualityControl, but if you need time to make sure, go ahead and download the trial. The trial limitations are:

To license your copy of QualityControl, just copy your license code from aescripts and paste it into the box that appears on launch.

Uninstallation

Well, I guess all good things must come to an end. To uninstall QualityControl, simply locate the QualityControl.jsxbin file in the ScriptUI Panels folder and delete it. Come back soon!
