What’s Inside:
• Automates the native AE preview for glitch-free overlay recording
• Captures paths, nulls, motion blur, and bounding boxes exactly as seen in the viewport
• One-click PNG screenshot export with comp + frame naming
• Live HUD showing comp name, total frames, and FPS
• Auto-saves before playback to ensure a clean recording start
How It Works:
SCOPE streamlines your viewport for screen recording. It handles the technical setup so you can focus on the visual.
• Select the layers you want to see motion paths for
• Click PREVIEW to automatically save the project and trigger playback
• Record your screen with any tool (OBS, Screen Studio, etc.)
• Shift-Click to stop playback instantly
• Click SCREENSHOT to save the current frame as a PNG
What It Captures:
• Full composition viewer with all active overlays
• Real-time playback synced to your composition’s FPS
• Motion paths, null objects, and wireframes
Note: Newer After Effects versions (v25.6+) force a "Single Unified 3D Gizmo" when multiple layers are selected to improve performance. This means you may only see one active layer's controls during playback, regardless of selection.
