About LoadUP

LoadUP is a script for Adobe After Effects that streamlines the creation of loading and progress bars. Users can add unlimited bars within a single composition, each receiving a unique name and distinct label color. Numeric fields support arrow‑key adjustments, and the entire bar creation can be undone with a single command. The interface can appear as a dockable panel or a floating window, depending on the installation folder, and operates in every language version of After Effects. Tooltips accompany each control, a help window is accessible via the logo, and a 13‑page PDF guide provides detailed instructions. Compatibility spans After Effects 2025 back to CS6, and the current version is 1.75, updated in September 2024.
