Thanks for pointing this out. I’ve never explored the Flowchart option in AE before. I will certainly have to. This will save me tons of time on larger projects!

I guess it depends on the project. I definitely don’t use it on every project, but find it comes in handy on the larger or even mid-sized projects, especially the ones I’ve been away from for a long time and don’t remember how I’m piecing the project together. On smaller projects I usually know how things are running together or I can get a good look at them by flipping down the used attributes of each layer (select the layer and press the U key). It’s a good resource to help you wrap your mind around your project. It’s also a good way to help people who are moving over from node based systems to help them figure out how things in AE flow together and make them feel more comfortable.

I appreciate the comment and question, Josh!

Thanks for the quick look at this John!

Do you find that you actually use the flowchart in every day work? Or is it more something that you turn to when you’re racking your brain on how stuff is all tying in together?
