How to add swatch library to after effects cc?

[KeatonBowlby]

as the title says…. how do i add a swatch library to after effects in creative cloud? i don't want to have to eye drop colors here and there, i want to keep a collection of my clients colorways. i saw the swatch script from video hive. is that good? does that only work with the said website? is there a way to customize color in that script?

thank you in advanced!

It's not free, but our Test Gear plug-in—in addition to adding a waveform monitor and vectorscope—adds a full Photoshop-style color swatch book. You can try out the plug-in as a demo which you can download from our website here.

(Disclaimer: My company makes and sells Test Gear, so I'm biased.)

The upcoming version of After Effects includes a Kuler panel built into After Effects:

The new Kuler integration (I just updated to 2014 today) is really useful but it's not quite what I'd hoped it would be. I use After Effects for vector animation and would find a swatches panel with Kuler built in - similar to that found in Illustrator - much more useful. Instead I'm having to position the Kuler panel in such a way that the colour scheme I want to use is visible so I can pick with the eye dropper, but I guess it's an upgrade from the print out of hexidecimals taped to my monitor!

I understand After Effects isn't really built like that, but it would make life so much easier if there was a swatch panel!

The Kuler panel built into After Effects is not intended to be the complete solution. It's just a step.

Thanks Todd. It's definitely a step in the right direction, and I'm really looking forward to exploring all the other new features.

I'll send that request through. Thanks!

I use to import in AFX, a color palette comp that I have made. No plugin, no script, free download.

in an additional step to alessandror1879048 suggestion, I found the new EGP handy in making a float swatch panel. simply dragging the color controls to the EGP, and now the advantage is that this panel is free and not occupied like the effects panel.

I too want this, did you submit a feature request? Didn't realize this was so old 🙂
