November 14, 2021 -
Hey everyone!
Would anyone happen to have this script and/or know where to find it?
I've been browsing AEScipts and YouTube to find the best plugin/script to help me with a project I'm working on. My intention is to convert original images and footage into ASCII. I found a script on YouTube that does exactly what I need called "Source Code" by Open After Effects. The promotional video shows that you can find the plugin on aescripts.com, but after days of searching I simply cannot find it!
People in the comments have been asking where to find and some even tried emailing the owner of the channel but with no success.
Here's the link to the promotional video: https://youtu.be/vdSyzno6_Jw
Thanks in advance!

Video to ASCII effect - Adobe After Effects Expressions - Creative COW
To add a little more depth to my ascii video I made a second text layer with bold type and sampled the same video with crunched levels to limit the bold type to the darkest areas. You do need to adjust the letter-spacing to align the bold and normal type. Beware that adding a second scripted layer really shows that this is a processor intense expression. ... K, finally got a chance to punch this into After Effects.
