Code Runner 2 is a free After Effects panel that turns anything you do twenty
times a day into a single button. Run a script, apply an expression or a preset,
fire a menu command, or apply your own keyframe easing — all from one panel you
can shape around the way you work.

In this video, I go through the whole thing: installing it, migrating from Code
Runner 1, building and organizing buttons, custom icons and colors, the ease
editor, and backing up your library.

Free for personal and commercial work. After Effects 2021 or newer, Windows and macOS.
