Aescripts - MonkeySauce v1.0.1

https://aescripts.com/monkeysauce/

MonkeySauce is a transformative script for Adobe After Effects that addresses one of the most tedious and time-consuming tasks in motion design: sound design synchronization. Developed by Ebberts + Zucker, the same team behind the renowned "Monkey" suite, this "spicy" new tool is specifically designed to automate the process of triggering and sequencing sound effects. For years, motion designers have had to manually drag, drop, and align hundreds of audio layers to match their visual markers—a process that is not only slow but prone to cluttering the timeline. MonkeySauce solves this by offering 24 "tasty recipes" to automatically cue audio files with a single click.

The true power of MonkeySauce lies in its versatile operating modes. The "Single" mode helps maintain a clean workspace by placing each selected audio file into its own pre-composition, while the "Sequence" mode allows users to combine multiple sound effects into a single pre-comp, triggering them in a specific order or randomly if the "Mix Order" feature is active. For more complex projects, the "Expanded" mode keeps individual effects separated to prevent audio overlapping or interruptions. There is even a "Squeeze" mode, which intelligently speeds up audio to fit perfectly within the time available before the next marker is triggered, ensuring your soundscape always matches the pace of your animation.
Beyond just sequencing, MonkeySauce offers advanced trigger options that integrate seamlessly into any workflow. Whether you need to place markers manually at the Current Time Indicator (CTI), set them at repeating or random intervals, or sync them to the start, middle, or end of specific layers, this tool provides the necessary precision. One of its most impressive features is "Marker Sync," which allows the script to automatically retime and align audio based on existing markers from other layers. This makes it an ideal companion for other marker-based scripts like Nodekit, Vybe, Beatnik, and the rest of the Monkey Suite.
In addition to its core functionality, MonkeySauce includes essential utilities like Offset, Clean, and Keyframes-to-Markers to further refine your project. It is an invaluable asset for anyone working on text reveals, logo animations, or complex motion graphics where audio impact is crucial. By eliminating the "messy timeline" syndrome and replacing hours of manual labor with automated efficiency, MonkeySauce allows creators to focus on the creative aspects of sound design rather than the technical drudgery of alignment.
