I'd love the ability to use macros in AE but since there is none I wondered if that's exactly what scripts were supposed to be. Is there a way to record actions in to scripts? I'd take my shot at coding something myself but I thought I might as well ask if there was something more similar to Photoshop's "Actions" menu using scripts.

You could consider scripts to act as actions in that they can repeat a set of tasks. Much more involved to create them since they don't have the helpful recording feature that Photoshop has. ExtendScript really isn't that difficult to learn for most of the basic stuff though. I even put together a full series to get people up and running, even if you have no coding knowledge.

If there is a specific task you are looking to run now, there are plenty of knowledgable users here that can help you build something too.
