    • Process single files or whole folder trees in one command
    • Rename files and sort them into folders based on their metadata

    2. Download from the official site and choose the macOS package.
    3. Run the installer, then open Terminal and type exiftool to begin.

    It keeps a backup copy of the original file by default when it writes changes, so you can recover the untouched file if you need to.

    FAQs

    Will unlocking erase the data on my device?

    For screen passcode removal, yes. The device is reset during the process and then updated, so back up anything you can reach first whenever that is possible.

    Does it work on every iOS version?

    Support varies by feature and by device model. The vendor reference page lists which iOS ranges each unlock mode covers, so check your exact case there first.

    Should I use it on a device that is not mine?

    3. Open the downloaded file, install TeamViewer and grant the macOS permissions it requests.

    Putty is a deformation plugin for Adobe After Effects and Premiere Pro, sold through aescripts, that bends and warps your artwork in a direct, hands on way. Instead of a mesh that covers the whole layer frame, Putty fits its grid to your actual text, logo or shape, so every control point sits where you need it. Motion designers use it to make letters ripple, logos fold and artwork follow a moving subject, all without leaving their editing app.

    Key Features

    • Lattice and cage deformation fitted to your artwork rather than the layer box
    • Mask modes in After Effects, where your mask becomes the cage you animate
    • Soft selection, so dragging one point bends nearby points smoothly
    • Clusters let you drive groups of points with a Null and animate them together
    • Mesh animation keyframes, symmetry and a gentle wiggle for organic motion
    • One licence covers both After Effects and Premiere Pro, with GPU acceleration on Apple Silicon Macs through Metal

    How to Download

    Putty is a paid plugin, and aescripts offers a free trial on the product page so you can test it on your own artwork first. Visit the official listing, check the compatibility notes for your version of After Effects or Premiere Pro, and buy or start the trial there. Installation is handled by the aescripts manager app. Download from the official site

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Does Putty work on Mac? Yes. It runs on macOS, with GPU acceleration through Metal tested on Apple Silicon. Intel Macs are not officially supported, so try the free trial first there.

    Is there a free trial? Yes. The product page offers a free trial, which is the best way to confirm it suits your machine and your projects before buying.

    Which apps does one licence cover? The same licence works in both After Effects and Premiere Pro, according to the product page.
