John Nack, Senior Product Manager for Photoshop, notes that Dr. Woohoo is back leveraging AE for Flash users:
"introducing After Effects 2 Flash: Audio Amplitude. This new ExtendScript exports the audio analysis data from AE 7.0 as an XML file and uses a component to map it to the Rotation and Scale Matrix transformations in Flash 8. 'In other words,' he writes, 'it makes objects in Flash dance to the music.' "

Free AE palette for moving CTI
Jeff Almasol, of redefinery.com and sometime AE team member, posted a free palette for moving the CTI a customizable number of frames.
"rd: Movement" is a script that "displays a palette with controls for jumping to different times in the composition. There are buttons for jumping a specific number of frames forward or back from the current time, as well as 7 favorite buttons for capturing different times (set from the current time) and jumping to them easily."
Be sure to check other recent scripts posted, as well the handy links to other AE scripting resources.

For those who don’t already know, GIMP is a powerful, open source image editing application. GIMPshop is essentially the same program with some cosmetic changes to make it look like Photoshop. And it's free!
After Effects 2 Flash keyframe converter
via Steve Kilisky's After Effects Blog and John Nack on Adobe
Drew Trujillo (dr. woohoo) has an After Effects 2 Flash transform keyframe converter he developed:
"The solution exists in two parts: 1) an After Effects script used to export the Transform Property keyframe data; and 2) After Effects 2 Flash-Transform Properties, which is a Flash Extension that allows you to easily import/parse/map keyframe data from the After Effects Transform Properties (Anchor Point, Position, Scale, Rotation and Opacity) to the properties of a MovieClip(s). You can download the After Effects script for free here, however, I strongly recommend purchasing After Effects 2 Flash-Transform Properties, here, strictly based on the amount of time, energy and money it would take you to create it on your own."
I'm the 'decider'...

new HDR book
High Dynamic Range Imaging, First Edition : Acquisition, Display, and Image-Based Lighting
If you want to dig deep, this book is a landmark from the pioneers of HDRI; but you've have to think like an imaging scientist, FX wizard, or Photoshop engineer!
