Stumbled upon a super helpful script for After Effects and Maya. It’s called MoCon and you can find it here.
If you are trying to bring locators from Maya into After Effects, or camera data this is a very important tool to have. I especially enjoy the fact that you can simply select any object in Maya, type “pass2obm” and save it to a file. Once in After Effects you can simply import the OBM file and it populates layers with white locators for each object. After Effects has the ability to bring in .ma files from Maya, but the nulls have to be named null, and they are imported in as a hidden null object. The MoCon script works with any naming convention, and creates small solid layers for easy visualization.
3Dmation MoCon V3.5.5 – I love it
