Functionality
Like most extensions, the UI of Spectrum is made with HTML and CSS for the visuals, and JavaScript which drives the interactivity and animated elements.
Each button and slider calls a function within ExtendScript (the specific flavor of JavaScript that After Effects understands) which in turn triggers sequences of actions and automations within the After Effects composition.
Responsiveness
Since the user fine tunes their creation using only the buttons and sliders within Spectrum’s UI, it was super important that it felt responsive and fast to use, with absolutely no lag.
The interactivity of the UI, various hover states on the UI elements and the constant visual feedback always let the user know exactly what's going on.
That’s it for this one. Not to worry, there’s plenty more to see.
