Cut'n'Pack is a small multitool for Adobe After Effects, sold through aescripts, that helps clean up busy projects. It automatically cuts layers by their masks and collects the pieces into optimal precompositions, a job that is slow and fiddly when done by hand. It works with text, shape layers, vector files, footage and solids, which makes it handy for procedural graphics, replicators and complex animation setups where one layer needs to become many tidy parts without disturbing the design.
