Welcome to the DuAEF & Duik wiki!

DuAEF is a toolset for After Effects which includes (most of) the tools Duduf & Rainbox develop for their productions.

The Duduf After Effects Framework is free software released under the GNU-General Public License v3. This license guarantees you four freedoms:

• The freedom to run the program as you wish, for any purpose,
• The freedom to study how the program works, and change it so it does your computing as you wish,
• The freedom to redistribute copies so you can help your fellow animator
• The freedom to distribute copies of your modified versions to others.

The complete source code of DuAEF is freely available here.

The only condition is to always credit the authors and share the software under another free software license, compatible with GNU-GPL v3. More info is available at the Free Software Foundation. All the contributors of Duik, friends, and all the people who helped the creation of Duik are listed at the end of this document. You may thank all of them for their commitment to greatly improving animation for everyone for free.

Alphabetical order

• Duben - A tool to benchmark the performance of an installation of After Effects against other versions and hardware.
• Dugr - A tool to manage and group layers in After Effects, which works hand in hand with Duik or as a stand alone tool.
• Duframe - Framing guides to help your compositions.
• Duik - A comprehensive rigging and animation toolset.
• Krita - A simple script to import Krita animations into After Effects.
• WUStoryboarder - A simple script to import Storyboarder files into After Effects and create a composition.

DuAEF includes some libraries for developpers with classes, methods and tools to ease the scripting process in After Effects, as long as adding features (like pngquant, ffmpeg, or json, and new ScriptUI Controls) not available in After Effects/ExtendScript. It is very easy to use and documented.

Any help to develop DuAEF, Duik and all the tools is very appreciated!

We need feedback, feature requests, bug reports, translations, code contribution... Anything, really! Wether you're a developper or not, anyone can contribute!
