Installation & Setup

RunScript requires installing three components.
Each part works together to connect your browser with After Effects.

Make sure all components are installed before using RunScript.

Browser Extension

Install the RunScript browser extension to enable script execution from supported websites.

1. Open Chrome and go to chrome://extensions

2. Enable Developer Mode

3. Click Load unpacked

4. Select the RunScript Browser Extension folder

The extension only needs to be installed once.

After Effects Monitor (ScriptUI Panel)

The Monitor is installed as a ScriptUI panel inside After Effects.

1. Run installer.bat as administrator

2. Enter your After Effects version when prompted

3. Restart Adobe After Effects

4. Open the panel via
   Window → RunScript Monitor

Click Start inside the panel to begin monitoring.

Desktop Bridge

The Bridge connects your browser and After Effects.

1. Launch RunScript Bridge

2. Access it from the system tray

3. Enable Start with Windows (recommended)

Keep the Bridge running whenever you are using RunScript.

Final Check

Once all components are installed and running, RunScript is ready to use.

Your browser, Bridge, and After Effects Monitor should all be active and connected.
