Script that turns After Effects text layers and masks into hand-drawn whiteboard write-on animations.

What Automatic Whiteboard does

Automatic Whiteboard is a script by Chris Zwar that turns text layers and masks into hand-drawn write-on reveals in one click. The result mimics a whiteboard explainer, with or without a hand sketching the content onto the canvas.

Overall duration is adjustable, and there are 20 hands to pick from, left-to-right and right-to-left directions, and a wiggle option for a jittery hand-made feel. Eight rendering styles range from clean paper and dirty paper to old parchment and a blackboard. Output is resolution independent up to 4K, and two bonus scripts separate and sort mask paths.
