The Altar panel.
The Canvas and how to shape it: groups, layouts, your own scripts and presets, and settings.
- 01 Altar panel overview
The Altar panel is a customizable After Effects toolbox of deterministic Tools. Arrange them on your own Canvas and add your scripts, expressions and presets beside them.
- 02 Understand the Canvas
The Altar Canvas is a grid of loose Tools, Groups, and inline or overlay Widgets. Learn how it scrolls, what each cell does, and how View and Edit modes differ.
- 03 Arrange Tools and Groups
Move, resize, add and remove Tools in Altar, and organize them into Groups with Edit mode. Drag Tools in and out of Groups, and recover with Reset.
- 04 Customize your workspace
Save named Layouts, change the grid size, rename and recolor Tools, and let new Tools arrive in your own layout.
- 05 Add your own Tools
Turn your scripts, expressions, presets, effects, menu commands and other panels into one-click Buttons on the Altar Canvas, with alternate actions on modifier keys.
- 06 Settings
A tour of the Altar Settings window - General, Appearance, Groups, Buttons and Widgets - and where to change each thing.
