I'm surprised I haven't heard more chatter about it, especially since its free. That, overlord, and Motion v2 have been the most used for me. Not really a plugin but the c4d support has really been useful as well. Posted in News After Effects by aescripts + aeplugins on April 26, 2016 We are happy to share with the community our FREE installer for CEP extensions for Adobe After Effects and Premiere Pro. It will work with any ZXP extension, it does not have to be one you got from us.
ButtCapper
The stroke cap selector Adobe kinda forgot
The lack of a simple way to change Stroke Caps and Joins in After Effects (similar to Illustrator) doesn't make a lot of sense. After years of pointless clicking through shape layer properties and endless nesting, we had enough. Yes, ButtCapper has a silly name, but if you work heavily with strokes in AE you'll really enjoy how much less of your life will be wasted. It's free. Use it. battleaxe.co/buttcapper Music: Arthur 'Cloud Mallet' soundcloud.com/arthur','source':'The lack of a simple way to change Stroke Caps and Joins in After Effects (similar to Illustrator) doesn't make a lot of sense.

.@adamplouff Butt Capper? More like Butt Clapper. Sending a round of cheeky applause your way every time I save a few seconds using it.

FAQ
Why is this free?
ButtCapper pretty small little script and it only does one thing. It does that one thing very well, but the community of people who work with After Effects deserve one less simple thing to fight the program about.
You are absolutely allowed to change price from FREE to $5 or $10 if you want. I wont stop you at all.
What is FT-Toolbar?
FT-Toolbar is one of only a couple scripts that lives permanently in my After Effects interface. It's great for building buttons to trigger menu items, adding expressions quickly AND running single feature scripts like ButtCapper. Buy it and save yourself some time.
Adam Plouff and his Battle Axe Co. recently released Overlord, an extension that can bring your workflow between Adobe After Effects and Illustrator and back. Think of Overlord as a way to use Adobe Illustrator as a drawing plugin for After Effects.
You're about to get a new plugin for After Effects – it's called ILLUSTRATOR 😉

The After Effects extension give you two panels that create a live, asynchronous communication channel between Ae and Ai. This means that you never have to save to update changes. In fact, you don’t even need to work with files any longer if you don’t want to. You can transfer shapes as you make them or as you need them. With the extension, you will no longer have to import, convert, or redraw as you work.
Overlord is a set of two panels that, when both open, create a portal between Illustrator and After Effects
The new extension allows you to transfer shape layers back to illustrator to edit them with Ai’s drawing tools. From now on, you can work with shapes instead of managing files. Pretty incredible.
Overlord lets you:
- transfer shapes from illustrator without files
- edit ae shape layers in illustrator
- explode shapes during transfer
- editable text
- parametric rectangle and ellipse
- ray dynamic color support
