momentum.js

Project Overview

momentum.js is an attempt to port the spirit of the Processing framework (including p5.js), openFrameworks, and basil.js to Adobe After Effects. It aims to provide designers and developers with a powerful toolkit for procedural design and automation tasks within a user-friendly WYSIWYG interface in After Effects.

Features

• Provides a programming interface similar to Processing and p5.js.

Example Code

I have developed an IDE in After Effects for writing momentum.js code. You can install it and try it out in After Effects.

// Example code: Create a simple rectangle

m.rect(50, 50, 300, 300);
