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!

Thanks to everyone who has downloaded the plugin. Considering that majority of the people are going for the free version, I have decided to add an additional cost that can help me continue to develop more plugins in the future. Hope you all can understand. I think for what it is, 5 dollars is nothing. If you really can't afford it, please reach out.
Hey again guys!
Sorry for the mess of the previous post.
Once again...
Just released a plugin I've been grinding on for the past few months, on and off.
2025 has been big year for ASCII art. Saw quite a few big brand campaigns use it. The only thing is that creating ASCII effect in After Effects is a hassle. That's why ASCII Amiga exists.
Less time on the hassle and more time on the creative work, on creating iterations.
Try it out and let me know what you think!
