# About this project

Boxcam 1 was a free tool I released back in July 2018. The November of the same year I discontinued the first version and released Boxcam 2 for $19.99 on [aescripts](https://aescripts.com/boxcam/), collaborating with [Danny Perry](https://www.dannyperry.me/) for new promo assets.

7 years later, in 2025, I decided to discontinue the paid version of Boxcam 2 and open-source it for everyone to use for free. I did so for two reasons - I think design tools should be accessible to everyone, and I was fed up with having to deal with support tickets and updates.

We're only getting paid in publicity now, so give the [promo video](https://youtu.be/ifepBpRzYW4) a like, tell your friends about Boxcam, and check out what [Danny](https://www.dannyperry.me/)'s up to.

# Usage Guide

## Downloading and installing
Head to the [Releases](https://github.com/rebane2001/Boxcam/releases) and download the latest .jsx file.

To install it, move the downloaded file into your ScriptUI Panels folder:
- `Program Files/Adobe/Adobe After Effects/Support Files/Scripts/Script UI Panels` (Windows)  
- `Applications/Adobe After Effects/Scripts/Script UI Panels` (Mac OS)

## What does it do?
Boxcam lets you create a 2D box, which will act as a camera.  
Everything inside of the box will be visible in the final result.

## Usage
After installation you should find Boxcam.jsxbin under the **Window** menu in After Effects, open it and you’ll get the Boxcam panel.

To use Boxcam, you’ll have to first create a Boxcam camera in an existing Composition, then create a new Composition that will contain the output of the Boxcam.

### Creating a Boxcam camera
You can create a new Boxcam by clicking the <img src="img/image6.png"> button.
If you wish to instead convert an existing layer to function as a Boxcam, hold ctrl while clicking.

### Using the camera
You can transform and animate the Boxcam in almost any way you want - **scale, position and rotate** - you can even use anchor points or **parent** it to other layers.
What is seen inside of the Boxcam is what will be seen in the final output.

### Multiple cameras
If you want to have **multiple Boxcams** in a single Composition, you can!
Just make sure all your **Boxcam layer names start with “Boxcam”**.
Just like normal After Effects 3D cameras, the topmost active layer will be the active camera.

### Creating the output Composition
To see the output of the Boxcam, you will need to create a new Composition that contains your original Composition.
The easiest way to do it is just to click on the <img src="img/image1.png"> button.

### Custom resolutions
Let’s say your working comp has a resolution of **4096x4096**, but you would like your Boxcam to output in **1920x1080** instead. This is what the **custom resolutions** feature is for.

Click the <img src="img/image2.png"> button and enable **"Use custom Boxcam size"**.

You can now enter custom resolutions you’d like to use.

After setting a custom resolution, you can **create your Boxcam as usual**, the resolution of your Boxcam and the output Composition will match the resolutions you picked.

If you want to **update** an existing Boxcam’s custom resolution, just **ctrl+click** the <img src="img/image2.png"> button.

If you want to **update** an existing output Composition, **ctrl+click** <img src="img/image1.png"> while being in the Composition.

### Using an existing Composition for the output (obsolete)
While it’s not recommended to use an existing Composition for the output, it can be done.

Add the source Composition with a Boxcam in it to the existing Composition, select the layer with your source Composition and **ctrl+click** the <img src="img/image1.png"> button in the Boxcam panel.

**Note:** The resolution of the existing Composition will be set to match the resolution of the Boxcam.

## KBar
New in **version 2.1** is **KBar** support.

To use it, just add the JSX file in KBar and set the **argument field** to one of the following:

- `create_boxcam`
- `turninto_boxcam`
- `create_output_comp`
- `update_output_comp`
- `custom_res_menu`
- `custom_res_set`
- `view_licensing`

## Notes
If you **can’t see the border** around a Boxcam, you can either **add a background layer** to your Composition or **disable the Adjustment Layer** switch of the Boxcam layer.

## Support

Since I am offering Boxcam 2 for free now, I'll provide support on an as-is basis. If you think you've found a bug or something to improve, open an issue on GitHub.
