voodoo earns its place in the aescripts library as a focused tool for pin animation and controller handling in After Effects, with support across several recent versions.
voodoo, by PENCIL Park, is an After Effects tool centered on animating pins. It provides pin tracking and controller abilities for working with puppet pins, keeping the focus on making pin animation easier.
The tool runs in After Effects and supports versions 2024, 2023, 2022, 2021 and 2020, spanning five recent releases of the host software. It first shipped in March 2023 as version 1.000. The 1.001 update in April 2023 added the ability to change the size of the controllers, and the 1.002 update in May 2023 addressed a multilanguage fix that also covered Japanese.
A demo video is available for anyone who wants to see the tool in action before installing. voodoo is listed here as free; check the developer's page on aescripts for the current licensing terms and any conditions before you download it.
voodoo is best for after Effects artists animating puppet pins and working with pin controllers.
voodoo is completely free to download and use.
voodoo is compatible with After Effects 2024, 2023, 2022, 2021 and 2020, covering five recent versions of the host software. If you are running any of these releases, the tool is built to work within your setup. Anyone on a version older than 2020 should confirm compatibility on the developer's page before installing, since the listed support range covers only these five. The plugin's most recent update landed in May 2023.
voodoo added the ability to change the size of the controllers in its 1.001 update, released in April 2023. This gives you control over how large the controllers appear while you work with pins. The feature arrived after the initial 1.000 release from March 2023, so make sure you are on version 1.001 or later to use it. If you do not see the option, updating to the current 1.002 build should give you access.
voodoo includes multilanguage support, and the 1.002 update from May 2023 specifically addressed a multilanguage fix that also covered Japanese. If you work in a non-English environment or use Japanese, that update targets this area of the tool. The catalog does not list every supported language individually, so for the exact set of languages available, refer to the developer's page for the most current information before installing. Running the latest 1.002 build ensures you have the multilanguage fix in place.
voodoo is listed here as free. For current licensing terms and any conditions around its use, check the developer's page directly, since licensing details can change over time and this catalog reflects the listing at a point in time. The entry here shows a free listing, but the developer's page on aescripts remains the authoritative source for the latest terms. Confirm those details there before you download and install the tool, especially if you plan to use it in a commercial project.
