About this plugin

Macro Recorder turns what you do in Creator into a replayable macro. Press Record, edit as usual, press Stop, and name it. It captures transforms, keyframes with easing, solid and gradient fills, strokes, text, masks, trim paths, and structural changes such as duplicate, reorder, and group. You need no selection to start, and while recording you can hand an already animated layer's keyframes and look straight into the macro.

Replay adapts to whatever you select. A macro that touched one layer applies to every selected layer: position, rotation, and skew shift from each target's own start, scale multiplies, and everything else applies exactly. A macro that touched several layers replays as a scene script that finds each layer by id, then by name. Keyframes converge on their frames, so nothing duplicates, and every step that could not apply leaves a note instead of failing silently.

Pro tools finish the job. Simplify collapses a fast drag into one step, edit a step changes a value without re-recording, and parameters pin values the macro asks for on play, ideal for recolor macros. Play options add at playhead, stagger across selected layers, and repeat ×N. Share a macro with Copy JSON and Import on any machine. The plugin is open source under MIT, with its runtime API notes and platform-limit evidence on GitHub:

New in version 0.6.0

First public release of Macro Recorder. Record your edits in Creator as a named macro and replay them on any selection or in another file.

  • Whole-scene recording. Transforms, keyframes with easing, solid and gradient fills, strokes, text, masks, trim paths, and structural changes such as duplicate, reorder, and group. No selection needed to start.

  • Adaptive replay. A single-layer macro applies to every selected layer, shifting from each target's own start. A multi-layer macro replays as a scene script that finds layers by id, then by name.

  • Capture existing animation. Select an animated layer while recording to hand its keyframes and look straight into the macro.

  • Pro tools. Simplify, per-step edit, and parameters that ask for a value on play.

  • Play options. At playhead, stagger across selected layers, and repeat ×N. Stagger now also works on a macro with no keyframes by delaying each layer's in point.

  • Sharing. Copy JSON and Import move a macro between machines.
