Render Script Constructor for Adobe After Effects
Create One-Click Export Scripts — Open Source
Render Script Constructor lets you create a one-click export script with all available preset parameters and post-render actions. You get a JSX script that works in any After Effects. The script is open source, so it is easy to edit — all parameters are at the top of the script. You can also customize it further to fit your needs.
After Effects render scripts
The Render Script Constructor builds an open source JSX render automation script for Adobe After Effects. It adds the active composition to the render queue — or to Adobe Media Encoder — using your Output Module and Render Settings template names.
Download the script and run it from the My Script Collector extension, any other script manager, or directly from After Effects — native JSX scripts do not need an extension. Template names must match presets that already exist in the Render Queue. Edit the parameters at the top of the created script to change the folder, naming, or what happens when the render finishes.
Also available for Adobe Premiere Pro Adobe Photoshop
FAQ
What is the Render Script Constructor?
It is a free web tool that generates a one-click After Effects render script. You fill in the constructor, download JSX, and reuse that render automation on later compositions.
What does the generated script do?
It renders the active After Effects composition through the render queue (or Media Encoder) with your templates and output folder. After the render finishes, it can automatically open the folder, play the file, or copy the output, depending on your preferences.
Do I need Render Queue templates in After Effects?
Yes. Enter the exact Output Module and Render Settings template names from After Effects — for example Best Settings. The script looks them up by name when it adds the composition to the render queue.
Which version of Adobe After Effects is supported?
The generated JSX is tested on Adobe After Effects 2018 and later, but should work on older versions too. Works on Windows and Mac.
Can I customize the generated render script?
Yes. The script is open source, and the constructor writes every option as parameters at the top of the created script. Change those values, or extend the JSX, whenever your workflow changes.
Is the Render Script Constructor open source?
Yes. The downloaded JSX is open source so you can read it, edit it, and keep using it without the website.
