Tooling

WIP 24.07.17

Introduction

• What is tooling: FFX preset, script.

• Why create tools? You want to capture and refine existing processes, tailoring to projects if necessary

Preset Naming Convention Style Guide

This style guide provides standardized naming conventions for your preset to ensure consistency, clarity, and easy identification of scripts. Follow these guidelines when creating and updating preset names.

General Guidelines

1. Descriptive Names: Use descriptive names that clearly indicate the function of the script.

2. Tiltlecase: Use CamelCase for multi-word names. The first letter of each word is capitalized, and no spaces or underscores are used.

Structure

Each script name should have the following structure:

Verb + Object + OptionalDetails.jsx

• Verb: Describes the action the script performs (e.g., Add, Update, Remove, Generate).

• Object: The primary object the script affects (e.g., Layer, Keyframes, Comps).

• Optional Details: Additional details if needed for clarity
