New script as found on After Effects Scripts website:
This is the CS4 update to the popular Throttle script. It works with the new multi-processing throttle system that was introduced with CS4 that manages how many CPU’s are to be left free for other applications. This version also adds a little known hidden preference that allows …

I found a new useful script from Byron Nash, which I think you should try out:
This script reads a user specified text file and
creates a text layer for each line of text in a
new comp called “Text Comp”, or it uses the active comp.
- adds expression to control a random placement in 3d space
- adds …

Tracker2Mask is a new script by Mathias Möhl. It computes the movement of maskshapes based on the movement of trackpoints. It is easy and flexible to use. In particular you don’t need one trackpoint for each maskpoint. In the tutorial he shows how to rotoscope the shape of a moving car based on only four …

This is written for CS3 but should work also in CS4:
To add scripts that can later be added as a panel in the user interface, create a folder in the After Effects CS3 ‘Scripts’ folder called ScriptUI Panels
Example:
\Scripts\ScriptUI Panels
Then, any .jsx, .js or .jsxbin scripts that you add in there can be launched from the …

Another great script I found written by Lloyd Alvarez:
3D Text Creator
It creates your required number of text layers in 3D space, very useful. (You have to add a 3d camera to see the effect).

Tonight I been playing around with this Spell Checker Script in After Effectsts. This is a spell checker for After Effects (as the title says). It goes through the composition you are working on and checks the spelling of all text in the composition and any text nested in precomps. The script can be found …

I wrote this function to allow you to directly refer to a Project item by it’s name (assuming you know the name). This way you do not have to use the index number for the item, something I didn’t like when writing scripts:

i = 1;
while (i <= items.length) {

app.executeCommand(..nr..)
or app.executeCommand(app.findMenuCommandId(“Close”));
..in case these numbers would change from AE 7.0 to CS3 and you happen to …
