Thumbs Up earns its place in the aescripts library for covering three Adobe apps with one tool, handling thumbnail and frame-grab creation from a Sequence, Composition, or Document alongside naming and date options.
Thumbs Up is a utility from The Machine Must Work that creates thumbnails and frame grabs from your Sequence in Premiere Pro, your Composition in After Effects, or your Document in Photoshop. It works across all three Adobe applications from a single tool.
The plugin gives you control over how each thumbnail is produced. You can set the resolution and adjust the width and height. Output can be named using the Sequence, Document, or Composition name, and you can add date information — either the full date or individual day, month, year, hours, minutes, and seconds values.
Thumbs Up runs in After Effects, Premiere Pro, and Photoshop versions 2020 through 2024. Version 1.1.0 added compatibility with the 2022 releases of all three applications. It's listed here as free; check the developer's page for current licensing.
Thumbs Up is best for generating thumbnails and frame grabs from a Premiere Pro Sequence, After Effects Composition, or Photoshop Document, with control over resolution, dimensions, naming, and date details.
Thumbs Up is completely free to download and use.
Thumbs Up runs in After Effects, Premiere Pro, and Photoshop, covering the 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024 releases of each. Version 1.1.0, released on October 31, 2021, added compatibility with the 2022 versions of all three applications. Because it spans all three programs, you can generate thumbnails from a Premiere Pro Sequence, an After Effects Composition, or a Photoshop Document without switching to a different tool for each. Check the developer's page for details on any newer releases.
Thumbs Up is listed here as free. For current licensing terms and any changes, check the developer's page on aescripts. Beyond licensing, the plugin creates thumbnails and frame grabs from your Sequence in Premiere Pro, Composition in After Effects, or Document in Photoshop, giving you control over resolution, width, height, output naming, and date information such as the full date or individual day, month, year, hours, minutes, and seconds.
Thumbs Up can name each thumbnail using the Sequence, Document, or Composition name, and add date information to the output. You can include the full date, or pull individual components — day, month, year, hours, minutes, and seconds. Alongside the date and naming controls, the tool lets you set the thumbnail resolution and adjust its width and height. These options apply whether you're grabbing frames from a Premiere Pro Sequence, an After Effects Composition, or a Photoshop Document.
Thumbs Up has a demo video available on YouTube. For a closer look at how the tool fits into your workflow, the developer's page on aescripts is the best reference. The plugin itself generates thumbnails and frame grabs from a Premiere Pro Sequence, an After Effects Composition, or a Photoshop Document. It gives you control over resolution, width, and height, names output using the Sequence, Document, or Composition name, and can add the full date or individual day, month, year, hours, minutes, and seconds values.
