Why we like it

QuickScript earns its place in the aescripts library as a lightweight option for artists who want to test community or ChatGPT scripts without a heavier editor.

What is QuickScript?

QuickScript is a simple ExtendScript editor from Airweb, aimed at quickly running free scripts pulled from community forums or generated with ChatGPT inside After Effects and Premiere Pro. Rather than a large scripting suite, it gives you a focused space to paste, edit and run code.

The editor covers a handful of practical touches. SHIFT + TAB automatically indents your code, and a built-in JS linter checks it as you work. The $.log() method outputs messages or variables to the console, while you can search application commands by name or ID and get a property path directly.

QuickScript is at version 1.1, released on November 19, 2024, which added compatibility with the After Effects beta. Beyond After Effects and Premiere Pro, it also lists support for Audition, Illustrator and Photoshop. A demo video is available on the developer's page, and the tool is listed here as free.

Is QuickScript free to download?

QuickScript is listed here as free. Airweb offers it under a name-your-price arrangement, so terms can vary at the source. Since licensing like this can change over time, check the developer's page for current details before downloading. In this catalog it appears as a free product for running and editing ExtendScript inside After Effects, Premiere Pro and the other supported Adobe apps.

Does QuickScript check my code for errors?

QuickScript includes a JS linter that checks your code within the editor. It also provides a $.log() method that outputs messages or variables to the console, which helps while you work through a script. Other conveniences include SHIFT + TAB to automatically indent code, the ability to search application commands by name or ID, and a get property path option. Together these cover the basics of pasting, editing and running scripts.

How does QuickScript help run scripts from ChatGPT?

QuickScript is built for quickly running free scripts, whether they come from community forums or from ChatGPT. It gives you an ExtendScript editor where you can paste that code, indent it with SHIFT + TAB, check it with the JS linter, and print output through the $.log() method. That suits grabbing a snippet from elsewhere and running it inside your Adobe app. A demo video is available on the developer's page.
