ExpressionRx — Expression Debugger & Performance Profiler for After Effects
About This Video
ExpressionRx is a powerful panel extension for Adobe After Effects that helps motion designers find, debug, profile, and optimize expressions across entire projects. Stop hunting through hundreds of layers for broken expressions. ExpressionRx scans your entire project in seconds and gives you a clear diagnostic report.
KEY FEATURES:
🔍 EXPRESSION SCANNER Scan your active comp, selected layers, or entire project. See every expression with color-coded status — errors in red, warnings in yellow, healthy in green. Filter, search, sort, and jump to any expression in one click.
⏱ PERFORMANCE PROFILER Measure exactly how many milliseconds each expression adds to your render time. Identifies bottlenecks with timing bars, complexity scoring (Simple / Moderate / Complex), and flags expensive patterns like toWorld() inside loops.
⚡ SMART OPTIMIZER Analyzes expressions against 10 optimization rules and suggests improvements with before/after code examples. Detects repeated layer lookups, unnecessary try/catch blocks, eval() usage, unused variables, and more.
📋 30 READY-TO-USE SNIPPETS Curated expression library across 7 categories — Animation, Math, Text, Color, 3D, Utility, and Time. Includes smooth wiggle, overshoot bounce, elastic ease, auto-fade, typewriter effect, number counter, color cycling, camera-aware scaling, index stagger, and more. One-click copy or apply.
ADDITIONAL FEATURES: • Dark theme matching After Effects native UI • Configurable profiler iterations and performance thresholds • Full JSON report export for project documentation • All modifications fully undoable (Ctrl+Z) • Pagination for large projects with 500+ expressions • Zero external dependencies — lightweight and fast
COMPATIBILITY: Adobe After Effects CC 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025, and later (Windows)
