BBS AE Keyframe Addon
by Yancey2023
BBS AE Keyframe Addon exports Adobe After Effects keyframe data from BBS, so camera movement can be carried into an After Effects project.
What it does
The addon takes keyframes recorded in BBS and writes them out in a form After Effects can read. After exporting a video, a text file with the AE keyframe data is saved in the same folder. Its contents are then pasted directly onto the camera object in After Effects, which keeps the camera path from the Minecraft recording intact.
Players must install it on the client, while the server may skip it. It is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, with builds for 1.20.1 – 1.21.11 and the latest 1.2.0 file for 1.21.11. The BBS mod and BBS FS are optional dependencies; the code is open source under the MIT License.
Key features
AE keyframe export
Keyframes from a BBS scene are written to a text file that After Effects reads as camera keyframe data.
Export alongside video
The keyframe file is saved in the same folder as the exported video, so the two stay paired for each shot.
Paste onto the camera
The file contents are pasted straight onto the camera object in After Effects, with no manual retyping of values.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.
Only full game releases are shown. This mod publishes no snapshot builds.
Requirements
Dependencies declared by the latest file for each loader.
Use cases
Matching camera moves in post
A filmmaker animates a shot in BBS, then adds effects and titles in After Effects on the same camera path.
Who it’s for: Players and video makers who record in BBS and edit in Adobe After Effects. Only the client needs the addon, so servers can run without it.
How it compares
Blocky File is a client-side only option under the MIT License, covering 1.21.4 – 1.21.11 on all three loaders. Camera Anim is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later and runs on Forge and NeoForge for 1.20 – 1.21.4; it works on either side, and neither needs it. BBS Photon Addon is NeoForge only, for 1.21.1, and is open source under the MIT License.
