Aescripts MonkeyBars 1.07 for Mac
Mac VideoMonkeyBars is an After Effects script by Ebberts + Zucker, sold through aescripts + aeplugins, and part of their popular Monkey family of production tools. It was built to procedurally create animated text boxes — the kind used for lower thirds, social video captions, infographics and subtitles — in a fraction of the time manual keyframing takes.
It is aimed at Mac motion designers and editors doing high-volume work in After Effects on macOS: type your lines into the panel, and MonkeyBars builds multi-line animations based on the text you entered, with the bars automatically sized to fit. It is a genuine workhorse for broadcast and online video graphics.

Is MonkeyBars free?
No. It is a paid script (listed at $59.95). A free trial version is offered through aescripts, which is the safe way to test it — avoid cracked copies on other sites.
Can I copy MonkeyBars layers between compositions?
Take care: MonkeyBars is based on an intricate set of expressions spanning several compositions, so layers should not simply be duplicated with markers into other comps. Follow the included manual for moving designs between projects.
